About motorzoo power cables and connectors
The 6AWG Cable 350 Amp Parallel Adapter is a wiring harness component for motorzoo outboards.
The wiring harnesses for our outboard motor powertrains may carry high current loads, up to:
- 62 Amps for the 3000W 5hp motors
- 135 Amps for the 6500W 10hp motors
- 240 Amps for the 11500W 20hp motors.
Accordingly, we use quality pure copper wiring, combined with sturdy and reliable Anderson plug connector systems.
Also, the battery terminals on all our LiFePOâ‚„ batteries make use of the standardised battery M8 terminal connector.
The outboards themselves, may use 50 Amp, 120 Amp, 175 Amp, or 350 Amp connectors, depending on the motor.
The more powerful the motor, the higher the current load.
And higher current loads demand thicker cabling, and larger connectors.
About the 6AWG Cable 350 Amp Parallel Adapter
This adapter is made to join up to 3x powerzoo LiFePO4 batteries in parallel, to the electric outboard motor wiring harness for our 11500W 20hp motor.
The 11500W 20hp motor motor, being 11.5 kiloWatts, (or equivalent to 20hp) will draw up to 240 Amps in power, at 48 Volts.
Such power would require 3x 50 Amp hour LiFePO4 batteries wired in parallel.
Each of these being able to discharge up to 50 Amps continuously, or 100 Amps at peak.
The connectors are able to attach as follows:
- The 120 Amp connector is able to plug into the 120 Amp Battery Cable adapter in the wiring harness.
- The 350 Amp connector is able to plug into the 2AWG Cable 350 Amp extension cables in the wiring harness.
- The 2AWG Cable 350 Amp extension cables are able to plug into the 11500W 20hp Performance Electric Outboard Motor.
The connectors have an ingress protection rating of IP44.
This rating 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 high 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.
