Boat motor : electric in-board motor < 5 kW
EP 2200 - 2,2 KW - 1 250 rpm max. Vetus

The many virtues and pleasures of electric propulsion are well known in river and canal boating circles. Electric motors are virtually noiseless, have no smelly fuel and produce no polluting emissions. In other words, these propulsion units are truly "green" and environmentally friendly. By making good use of modern developments in electric motor design, VETUS has constructed the ideal electric propulsion unit. This has the principal assets of: very low power consumption, continuously variable speed, low weight and compact dimensions.

THE VETUS BRUSHLESS ELECTRIC MOTOR
This VETUS electric propulsion motor does not use carbon brushes, which makes it whisper-silent and maintenance-free. At low revolutions, the efficiency of this brushless motor is considerably higher than conventional electric motors equipped with carbon brushes. This VETUS brushless motor also has a very favourable power to weight ratio.

Another remarkable feature of the brushless VETUS electric motor is the very low number of revolutions (max. 1,250 r.p.m.), which means that it can be coupled directly to the propeller shaft, without the need for a reduction gearbox. The complete installation is maintenance free and operates virtually without vibrati on. Finally: the price is extremely competitive and much lower than that of a small diesel engine.

KEEL COOLING
In order to enhance its efficiency even further, the electric motor is provided with a keel cooling system.
