[Electric Boats] Re: Bermuda 30 conversion

 

Mark,

Keith was discussing a 36V solution, 55A works out to about 2kw draw and that seems reasonable.

This points to the advantage to discussing these loads in watts, rather than amps because amps requires addtional information to make it relevent.

Fair winds,
