O’PARI: The jewel of Greek shipbuilding with the Main Electrical Panel by C&A.
In the early hours of June 26th, O’PARI, the new Mega Yacht-jewel of Golden Yachts, docked for the first time at the Zea Marina quay, in front of the Naval Museum.
C&A STAVROS KASIDIARIS S.A. has every reason to feel proud of its contribution to the completion of this gem of Greek shipbuilding, as it took on and successfully carried out the design, construction, and installation of the Main and Emergency Switchboards.
This is the 4th mega yacht in a row for Golden Yachts, for which C&A STAVROS KASIDIARIS S.A. has designed and built the main electrical panel. The previous ones include the mega yachts O’Pari II in 2015, Optasia in 2018, and O’Mathilde also in 2018.
The panels for this project were designed and constructed according to the applicable IEC 61439 standards and certified by the BV certification body. All components and parts incorporated into the panels have marine type approvals.
The Three Panels of the Project
The project consists of three panels: the Main Electrical Panel with a total power of 750kW, the Emergency Panel with 143kW, and the Shore Supply Panel with a total power of 350kW.
The Main Electrical Panel includes three protection fields for the main generators, the energy management system, the high and low voltage distribution fields, as well as the motor starter field.
The Emergency Panel includes the protection field for the backup generator, as well as the high and low voltage distribution fields. The connection to the shore supply is made by transferring from the generator supply without requiring a complete power shutdown.
Our Partners
The project is equipped with a generator protection and energy management system from SELCO, which is integrated with a data collection and visualization system from SIEMENS. The collected data is displayed on a local touchscreen located on the main electrical panel, as well as on the ship’s monitoring system. The electrical equipment is supplied by HYUNDAI ELECTRIC, while the metal panels are from RITTAL.
