Specification — 72V 3000W

72V 3000W Brushless DC Motor For Large EVs, Electric Boats And Heavy-Duty Industrial Equipment.

3000W at 72V represents serious electric traction power — equivalent to a 4 HP combustion engine but with instant torque from standstill, zero emissions and near-silent operation. This power class drives full-size electric vehicles, propels commercial workboats and replaces small diesel motors in industrial equipment. At 42A rated current, the electrical system uses standard industrial-grade components without special high-voltage precautions. Shenghe manufactures 72V 3000W BLDC motors in 130mm and 150mm stator frames with heavy-duty planetary gearboxes rated for continuous industrial operation.

  • Rated voltage 72V DC (60V–84V operating range)
  • 3000W continuous rated power, 5000W peak
  • Heavy-duty planetary and worm gearbox options
  • Hall sensor + encoder standard for precision control
Why 72V 3000W

Benefits Of The 72V 3000W Power Class

  • 4 HP equivalent — replaces small gasoline and diesel engines in many applications
  • 5000W peak power for acceleration, hill climbing and high-inertia startup loads
  • 42A rated current — industrial-grade connectors and 10AWG wiring sufficient
  • 130–150mm frame offers exceptional torque density for the weight (8–12 kg motor)
  • Full torque from zero RPM eliminates clutch, torque converter and gearbox complexity
  • Field weakening extends usable speed range to 150% of base RPM for highway-capable EVs
