ePropulsion has further expanded its original equipment manufacturer (OEM) offering with the launch of a brand-new electric inboard
ePropulsion is focused on providing customised and pioneering services for OEMs worldwide, offering fully flexible solutions for a wide range of commercial and leisure marine applications.
The new H-100 electric inboard is an excellent example of this product adaptability, allowing ePropulsion to expand its OEM capabilities. An innovative 100kw inboard motor, the H-100 is engineered for larger sailing boats and motor vessels between 20-30m with a total displacement up to 200 tons, that delivers high performance with less noise, fewer vibrations and zero exhaust fumes. The drive system can be straight to the propeller, stern drive, sail drive or Azimuth thruster.
The modular design means manufacturers can easily extend the range and power by adding motors, controllers and batteries and having more flexibility. The intelligent system allows owners to control remotely, and different modes can be selected to adapt to different operating scenarios.
Equipped with pioneering permanent magnet motor technology, the H-100 gives its diesel counterparts a run for their money, achieving 17,701 lb/in maximum torque and delivering an impressive 96% efficiency, higher than the traditional 100kw AC asynchronous engine.
It is compact and lightweight, weighing 189.6 kgs and requiring just 17- x 12-inches of space. The H-100 is around two-thirds lighter and 50% smaller than its diesel equivalent, offering flexibility in installation and maximising payload and passenger space. A flat cable design increases the slot fill rate by 25% and improves power density.
Safety and reliability are at the forefront of design, with features like magnet reluctance incorporated into the motor design to reduce the counter electric potential. In addition, IP67 waterproofing, anti-corrosion, high accuracy position feedback, high torque density and closed-loop cooling combine so that the H-100 can handle even the most demanding working conditions, ensuring long life and minimal maintenance.
