[Electric Boats] Industrial motor controller

 

Hi,

I looked around didn't see a post asking about industrial motor controllers so here it goes....
I'm an industrial electrician, im well versed in AC motor drives. Fractional drives up to 500hp. I worked on some DC drives, not to many out there, bigger sizes at least.
I have a 77 Newport 30 with a Thoosa controller, 48v 240ah bank and a 5kw LEM motor. The controller has a old Millpak at it's heart. Just a matter of time before POOF goes the controller.
Why not use an industrial DC drive? While not too many are around for 48v that can handle say 200a they are out there. Plus there is a lot less "fuss" to set up.
I get it for a EV car but for a boat it's close a straight forward drive motor. Be it for a conveyor, tumbler, almond roaster, it's pretty much the same.
Just wondering....
