[Electric Boats] Re: Shunt size

 

The shunt reducing the available voltage by 150mv or so should be insignificant.  But it would be worthwhile to check the shunt for heating which could mean a poor connection.  Shunts are generally large masses of brass/copper and be able to allow a large current without significant heating.  The 100A/100mV shunt has a resistance of 1milli-ohm and at 150A will produce 22.5W of heat which it has to dissipate.  Compare that to the motor at 150A/48V = 7.2KW. 

I think you said you have a 5KW system.  Maybe 7.2KW has something to do with the Sevcon overheating?  I don't know how well it does, but may be the problem.  How about the motor??
