How does Fischer Panda define the electric drive power of E.G. “10 Kw”?
Mechanical output data = shaft power. (This is the output actually available for the drive system).
Do I require two battery banks for two drive chains?
No, one battery bank is sufficient for two drive chains.
Can I use two generators with a different performance?
Yes, nearly every combination is possible.
Where do I have to install the generator, the batteries and the electric devices?
In compliance with the installation regulations at any place in the boat. However, cable lengths and cross sections must be designed by Fischer Panda in advance.
Can I also purchase the generator with keel cooling?
Yes. As we would have to custom-build, this would require a surcharge.
Can I continue to use my sail drive?
Yes, it is easy to vertically mount the shaft motor on the Saildrive. However, the great power development of the electric motor must be taken into consideration and, should the occasion arise, [...]
Can I also use a generator which has a lower output than the nominal output of the system?
Yes, this is possible. However, this reduces the continuous output of the drive to the output of the generator. Nevertheless, it is possible to make use of the full performance temporarily. [...]
Can I use my existing Fischer Panda AC generator for the hybrid drive system?
Not exactly. You can continue to use your AC generator for the onboard power supply (230 V / 400 V). Additionally, you can use your 230 V AC generator as [...]
What can I use from my existing system? (Shaft?)
Surely the drive shaft. It is possible that the existing propeller, batteries or the control can be used.
