Substations and topsides

This is where all the energy produced by the wind turbines is brought together and converted by transformers to a high voltage transmission. This is necessary to ensure that as little energy as possible is lost during transmission over long distances to the next grid node.

If a technical fault occurs on the substation platform, all wind turbines in the offshore wind farm will fail to function. This means that maintenance and repair services must meet extremely meticulous and high-quality standards. 

With decades of experience in the offshore and marine industries, Glamox can give you a one-stop-shop selection of luminaires. 

All electrical products are potential emitters of electromagnetic waves. Our luminaires are tested according to both EN-55015 and EN-61547.
