I am planning to run one at 48VDC, what is the actual kW available? 

 

I tend to believe only the most conservative numbers, so I saw a post in EV Europe listing it as 6kW continuous when run at 48V with 2000rpm listed. (assuming it cant go faster than 2000 rpm at 48VDC?)

 

Here is the verbage:

• Power max 50kW@96V
• Power continuous 6kW@48VDC – 2000rpm – 12 kW@96VDC – 4000rpm

And the site: https://eveurope.eu/en/product/me1616-pmac-engine-water-cooled-22-kwatt/

 

 

I would love to go to 96VDC but I do not think that is wise for all of the accessory systems on the boat and since i always find a way to arc something despite precautions.

 

Any other 48vdc recommendations?  Thank you!!
