Invertek P2 Drives have DNV Approval for Marine Applications!
Pumping in marine applications requires a high degree of manufacturing quality to ensure safety and reliability, thereby preventing major failures and shutdowns during operation at sea. Supporting components of these pumps, such as variable speed drives, are no different.
Invertek Opti Drive P2 variable speed drives, with IP55 & IP66 ratings, are certified by DNV, as their housings are built to withstand jets and sprays of water.
What is a DNV marine certification?
The DNV marine certification is a globally recognised certification for quality assurance, ensuring that all components are built to a standard that guarantees safety and reliability, thereby safeguarding people, assets, and the environment in marine applications.

The marine capable features of the P2 OptiDrive IP65 & IP66 range include:
- Enhanced Cooling Systems: due to their efficient thermal management design, the drives can work efficiently in closed-off spaces, which is common on marine installations. This prevents the drives from overheating and extends their lifespan.
- Durable Enclosures: Due to the presence of seawater and mechanical wear being common in offshore and shipboard environments, the IP55 and IP66 drives can withstand corrosion, moisture, and any physical impacts.
- Performance and Reliability: Even under variable conditions, the drives can provide torque control and vector-based motor control with precise operation. This makes them reliable for consistent performance in critical systems, such as propulsion or winching.
- Energy Efficiency: With advanced motor control algorithms to minimise energy consumption, this aligns the drives with the growing emphasis on being energy efficient and sustainable in the marine industry.
If you have a marine pumping application, such as seabed/coastal dredging or ballast pumps, the Invertek P2 variable speed drives are a reliable VSD to control and support your pumping operations.
