Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] ETEK motor (speed controller for this?)

["Dan H." <jmachine@adelphia.net>]

Paul,

I'm presuming, for a surface craft, correct?  It's a heck of a lot of horse
power for a sub!  Also, if your thinking about using it on a sub with a
direct drive to the prop 3600 RPM is quite fast.

Here's a link to a controller site.  http://www.curtisinst.com/index.cfm

I bought one from them to control 36 volts.  It's a really nice unit.  It
looks like they have some that will handle 72 volts but for that HP, at 72
volts the current must be up around 400 amps.  That's a big controller and
one big pile of batteries if your going to run any longer then a car starter
does.

132 that produces 34 horsepower at 72 volts.  And it costs under $1000 so I
might buy one for my boat.   But I suppose it needs some kind of rheostat
switch like an ordinary electric trolling motor has, and I didn't see any on
their website.  So my question to everyone is, Are there any speed
controllers for this powerful of an electric motor available out there that
anyone knows about?
