Every Trident motor passes through our Dordrecht facility before it ships. Coating, final finishing, the complete IEC 60034 routine test sequence and the submersible-specific pressure test happen under one roof. Engineering, final responsibility and warranty sit with Van Bodegraven.
Six stages from inbound motor to a tested unit on the shipping floor. Each stage has its own sign-off and its own quality record, the motor does not move to the next station without one.
Visual, dimensional and nameplate verification on arrival. Insulation resistance baseline measurement before the motor enters the workshop.
Marine paint systems applied to customer or class-society specification. Surface preparation, primer, topcoat, cure under controlled conditions.
Dry-out oven where required. Polarisation index verification, insulation resistance trending before the FAT sequence begins.
Full IEC 60034 routine test sequence plus the submersible-specific hydrostatic pressure test. Test certificate issued at sign-off.
Customer or class society attends the FAT on-site or remote. Joint sign-off, surveyor reports filed directly to the class society.
As-built documentation pack, class-compatible packaging, transport arranged from Dordrecht to vessel or yard.
The Dordrecht test bay handles the complete IEC 60034 routine test sequence plus the additional submersible-specific tests. Standard test set on every motor. Extended tests on request or by class society requirement.
The test sequence is the same whether the motor is 100 kW or 7000 kW. The difference is the duration and the energy. Larger machines need longer temperature-rise runs to reach steady state, and a higher-rated supply.
Test reports are issued in the format your specification or class society requires. IEC, ABS, DNV, BV, Lloyd's, RINA, KR, CCS, RS.
A witness test is standard practice on most Trident projects. Three options for how it can be done, depending on the class society requirements, the customer travel budget and the urgency.
Customers, prospects and class surveyors are welcome to visit the Dordrecht workshop. We schedule visits around the production calendar to make sure there is something on the test bay to look at.
