ARIES i50

50 kW drive at safe-to-touch voltages of 48V

In low power electric marine applications up to 15 kW, 48 V are very common. Beyond this range high-voltage (HV) systems with up to 800 V are the only option so far. However, HV is not desirable, especially for water applications. The new electric inboarder ARIES i50 differs from conventional e-drives in many ways. With a safe-to-touch voltage of 48 V, the drive produces a nominal power of 50 kW. Installed in a 7.1 m boat ARIES i50 accelerates the boat to a speed of 28 knots.
