Re: [Electric Boats] AC vs DC motors

 

Hannu,

That's really useful information...Thank you.




Only about 60 hp ICE are required to push a 70 metric tons displecement
steel yacht, of 25 m length, with authority.
The 100 hp+ engine was vastly overpowered (old engine from a train,
heavy and large displacement).

Approx 100-150 hp was used on early commercial ships, in the 200-300
tons size, early 1900.

A 60 metric tons nordhavn only uses about 30 kW of power, ice, at 90% of
hull speed.
A typical avg from several owners over thousands of miles made good.

Likely, 15 kW of electric engine is sufficient, imho.
