, and draw around 15 amps on 12v(at the surface). To contend with voltage drop, I am running them on 18V, which comes to 15V at the other end. I intend to go down to 100 ft (~44 PSI), how dramatic will the increase in current be on my motors?Current increases as depth increases?
Current increases as depth increases?
Hey, so I have my thrusters that max out at 15amps, which is a conservative rating, because I have pushed them past. They turn 15,500 rpm and have 62 mm carbon fiber props , and draw around 15 amps on 12v(at the surface). To contend with voltage drop, I am running them on 18V, which comes to 15V at the other end. I intend to go down to 100 ft (~44 PSI), how dramatic will the increase in current be on my motors?

what kind of thrusters do you have? is it bilgepump units?, brushless motors?, dc motors without housing?
Re: Current increases as depth increases?
Brushed DC motors in no housing, except a pipe that is held over the propeller, not sealed
Re: Current increases as depth increases?
then the pressure wont affect the motors.

Ok thank you! Thats a relief because i already draw a lot
