Electric Propulsion Motor
FeaturesThe Mega-Guard Electric Propulsion Motor (EPM) is a highly
efficient permanent magnet motor for ship's propulsion.
The Electric Propulsion Motor is able to directly drive the
propeller shaft or can be used in parallel with a combustion
engine. Electric propulsion is applied in case of requirements
regarding zero emission, better manoeuvrability and/or
less fuel consumption for vessels with large difference in
sailing profile. Silent running is another application of
electric propulsion in combination with Mega-Guard Electric
Energy Storage. The Electric Propulsion Motor is controlled
by other Mega-Guard products: High Power Inverter,
Propulsion Control System, Energy Management System
and/or the DC bus Generator. Various sizes of Mega-Guard
EPM are available to suit all applications for full electric,
serial hybrid or parallel hybrid propulsion. Electric Propulsion Motor 200kW

Full electric propulsionThe full electric propulsion uses the Mega-Guard Electric
Propulsion Motor to drive the propeller shaft. Electric power
is coming from the Mega-Guard Electric Energy Storage and
charging is done through shore power. The AC grid for hotel
load is generated from the Electric Energy Storage as well.
Serial hybrid propulsionThe serial hybrid uses the the Mega-Guard Electric
Propulsion Motor as well to drive the propeller shaft. Electric
power is coming from either the Electric Energy Storage or
the DC bus Generator. Charging of the battery bank is done
through the DC bus Generator or by shore charging.
Electric Propulsion Motor is mounted in-line with shaft
Electric Propulsion Motor is mounted on the gearbox
via a PTI/PTO connection
Electric Propulsion Motor is mounted between gearbox
and combustion engine
Parallel hybrid propulsionThe parallel hybrid propulsion system use a combustion
engine and an Electric Propulsion Motor to drive the
propeller shaft. The combustion engine and the electric
motor are mounted in parallel in one of following ways:
The Electric Propulsion Motor also works as generator for
battery charging in case combustion engine is running.
