A standard 30 A, 120 V marina pedestal supplies up to 3.6 kW, which is below the 5 kW rating of the AC to DC stage. Expansion ports on the unit accept extra MPPT, AC load and DC load modules if the boat outgrows the base configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the eCore AC Module Adds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eeCore AC is optional and connects to the 96VDC; it can't run on its own. It takes shore power and generator input with automatic transfer switching, supplies the boat's AC house loads and sends system data out over NMEA 2000. ePropulsion rates it at 20 kW for shore and generator input and 20 kW of house load, as two 10 kW circuits or one 20 kW circuit, in a 450 x 377 x 430 mm case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eePropulsion's intended order is DC first: a builder fits the 96VDC for the essential loads and adds eCore AC when the boat needs heavier AC equipment for cooking and keeping the cabin comfortable at anchor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow eCore Fits an ePropulsion eSSA System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eeSSA is ePropulsion's Smart System Architecture, the control layer behind its 96 V motors: the X Series outboards, the I-Series inboards and the Pod Drive eSSA. An ECU at the centre links the motor, the G-Series batteries such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.m-oceans.com\/products\/electric-motor-battery-epropulsion-g102-230\"\u003eG102-230\u003c\/a\u003e, the throttle, the display and the ePropulsion app. eCore carries that network past propulsion to the rest of the boat's power, so solar, shore power, a generator, the propulsion bank and the house loads answer to one controller and show on one screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same design sets its main limit. eCore communicates inside eSSA, and ePropulsion hasn't published any link to Victron's GX and VE.Bus equipment, the platform our current marine battery systems are built on. For chart plotters, ePropulsion lists Raymarine, Garmin and Simrad\/B\u0026amp;G displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eeCore or a Separate Victron System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe marine power systems we design and install today are built from separate Victron components: charger, inverter, MPPT controller and battery monitor, usually around a 12, 24 or 48 V house bank that stays independent of the motor. That approach works with any motor and any Victron-compatible battery, and every part is on the shelf now. eCore makes sense when the boat is already built around a 96 V ePropulsion drive and the owner wants propulsion and house power managed as one system. Our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.m-oceans.com\/pages\/marine-battery-systems\"\u003emarine battery systems page\u003c\/a\u003e puts the two approaches side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich System for Which Boat\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVictron system.\u003c\/strong\u003e A 12, 24 or 48 V house bank, any make of motor, parts in stock, installed at our Scarborough shop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eePropulsion eCore.\u003c\/strong\u003e A 96 V ePropulsion eSSA drive up to 20 kW on a 10.7 to 15.2 m (35 to 50 ft) sailboat or catamaran; concept, priced on request.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich Boats eCore Is Built For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eePropulsion names catamarans and cruising sailboats of 10.7 to 15.2 m (35 to 50 ft), running fully electric or hybrid with a generator. On Lake Ontario or Georgian Bay that's the boat that spends nights at anchor and wants to cook and keep the cabin comfortable on battery power, with the generator as a backup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmaller boats sit below that range.
