Re: Bowthruster Power and a Fuse/Disruptor
Mark McGovern
Alexander,
Jose Venegas of Ipanema SM2000 Hull #278 posted his bowthruster power consumption data here: https://amelyachtowners.groups.io/g/main/message/63102 The peak current draw was about 450A and the voltage at the time a little over 26V which makes the peak power draw ~11,700W. Amel did not fuse the large battery cables going to the bowthruster but several members have since installed fuses. Read the entire thread for a good discussion on this topic. -- Mark McGovern SM #440 Cara Annapolis, MD USA |
