About motorzoo power cables and connectors
The Power Cable SB175 to SB175 Extension is a component in the overall wiring harness for motorzoo outboards.
The wiring harnesses for our outboard motor powertrains may carry high current loads, up to 240 Amps for the 11.5kW motors.
For this reason, we use pure copper wiring, combined with sturdy and reliable Anderson plug connector systems.
The outboards themselves, may use 50 Amp (SB50), 120 Amp (SB120), 175 Amp (SB175), or 350 Amp (SB350) connectors, depending on the motor.
The more powerful the motor, the higher the current load, so the thicker the cable, and the larger the connector.
About the Power Cable SB175 to SB175 Extension
This cable extends the powertrain for our 48V-06×5 motor or 48V-03×0 motor. The cable may carry loads of up to 175 Amps.
It is available in 1m or 2m lengths. The Anderson connectors are able to attach as follows:
- The Anderson SB175 (175 Amp) connector is able to plug into other cables in the wiring harness with SB175 connectors.
- Note that the Electric Outboard Motors will use a blue Anderson connector. The blue connectors do not fit the Grey connectors.
The connectors have an ingress protection rating of IP64, which indicates:
- total protection from dust ingress, and
- protection from water splashes from any angle.
Note that this does not indicate protection from total immersion in water, or from hight pressure water spray.
Operating Safety
At motorzoo we are obsessed with operating safety, in everything we do, and everything we sell.
This is why we use only high quality true copper wiring for the power trains, and sturdy Anderson connectors.
Our power trains are over-engineered in terms of size load capacity for the loads that they are expected to handle.
And it is not possible to connect harnesses which are inadequate for the power of the motors they are intended to service.
The cables, connectors, and wiring harnesses are an important part of the overall powertrain for the electric outboards.
And they should be inspected regularly for any damage, and maintained to protect the powertrain from issues such as corrosion or heat damage.
