Re: [Electric Boats] 48V Windlass

 

So, it sounds like they wind the 12, 24, and 32V motors so that they will all run at around the same speed at their respective voltages?

You have the option of running the 32 volt motor on 48 volts. It would have a speed 33% faster and 33% more power.

Hi group, My 12 volt windlass motor went out and the whole unit is not worth fixing. I've been researching new ones. I've found a couple manufacturers that make ones that run on 24V and 32V. That got me thinking, I've got this huge 48V propulsion bank at my disposal. I called Ideal Windlass and they are checking with their motor supplier about a 48V motor. I believe they are DC series motors. If I can't get a 48V windlass, could I step down my 48V to 32V or even 24V? We are talking around 1500 watts. I'm wondering if I could parallel a few DC/DC converters, if they could handle the inrush. Is there a simpler way? Thanks, Chris
