CES 2023 Innovations Award Honoree: VoltSafe Marine
VS Marine connectors set a new standard of safety and efficiency in shore power and EV charging that is scalable for pleasurecraft, industrial shipping & defence sectors, by minimizing corrosion that leads to dangerous arcing and sparks that cause boat and marina fires or electrocution.

Overview

VoltSafe’s internal integrated circuitry maintains the plug in a power-off mode until a fully-secure connection with the pedestal is established. This means, the plugs will only turn on once the outlet recognizes an exact electrical signature from its counterpart which occurs in less than five milliseconds once the two sides are fully connected.
So, if the plug is accidentally dropped in the water, it's not going to pop all the breakers or electrocute anyone. This level of unprecedented safety ensures both marina operators and boaters alike have confidence knowing there are safety levels near that of the aerospace sector in place.

About VOLTSAFE

Our patented technology is the first of its kind to be successfully certified in the world.

How it works

prongless plug technology
For over 140 years, the world has been living with an inherently flawed design: the pronged electrical plug. VoltSafe technology brings electrical plug design into the 21st century, creating the transformational power to unlock previously unreachable economic value and safety.

How it works

prongless plug technology
VoltSafe’s patented plug technology unites HARDWARE and SOFTWARE to make plugging into electricity safe, simple and smart.
‍
VoltSafe’s “prongless” plug technology can be adapted to any power level (worldwide) and only allows power to flow once both plug and outlet are fully connected.

How it works

prongless plug technology
Our technology utilizes unique electrical fingerprints to allow electricity to flow. This process occurs in a span of micro-seconds, effectively eliminating arcing (seen in pronged plugs).
‍
VoltSafe technology is successfully safety certified (in accordance with UL and CSA standards) making it the world’s first high-power prongless (magnetic) connector. VoltSafe is the only prongless technology in the world that delivers lightning-fast charges without power loss (like pronged plugs) and is not to be confused with inductive charging technology.

ABOUT US

Both boat operators and marinas alike frequently encounter issues with antiquated shore power systems. This, when coupled with the combination of salt or fresh water can lead to premature corrosion, damage and an increased risk of electrical fires. VoltSafe tech can scale to meet the needs of pleasurecraft, tugboats, industrial marine shipping or combat vessels based on the inherent safety behind our electrical connectors. VoltSafe Marine navigates a course to setting a new standard in marine electrical safety.
