Have an Apex motor that i mounted in a Polaris RZR and I have several electrical components that I have hooked to this motor, my question is how strong is the stator on the Apex motor? Can it handle cooling fans on radiator and cooling fans on the clutches? Any help on this matter will be appreciated...
Checked the service manual for the Apex motor and found these specs:
Charging system:
Type
Nominal output
AC magneto
14 V/21 A at 5,000 r/min
DC-CDI:
Magneto model/Manufacturer
Standard
Pickup coil resistance
(color code)
Stator coil resistance
(color code)
CDI unit model/Manufacturer
F4T47371/MITSUBISHI
14 V 30 A, 420 W at 5,000 r/min
189 231 Ω at 20C (68F)
(Gray – Black)
0.19 0.24 Ω at 20C (68F)
(White – White)
F8T39371/MITSUBISHI
So can I assume that the stator output is 420 Watts at 14Volts and 30Amps??? If so can I run my GPS, Cell phone, 5 cooling fans along with headlights and tail lights? The Fans are for two radiators each with its own fan, for extra summer time cooling capacity, two clutch cover fans, one input and one output fan that are marine type bilge blowers and finally one engine box 10" cooling fan to allow me to run tight trails at low speeds yet keep the motor running cool at all time??
I will get the specs of each fan so I can calculate to load that they put on this motor...

Why not put an ammeter on it and watch how much current it draws with each accessory.

I think running 5 fans at the same time would fry the magneto. The battery would run them for a while, but you're also running a fuel pump, ignition system and charging the battery.

Finally got to the bottom of the battery draw issue on my Polaris RZR-X with an Apex motor, I had several added fans and blowers on this conversion to keep the clutches cool inside of a sealed clutch cover and I added a fan on the engine cover to draw heat away there and have a second radiator with a fan to double the cooling capacity. So I added separate switches for each fan and added a volt gauge and the result was...the factory Polaris radiator fan uses a massive amount of amps, fire up the motor without any fans running and it reads 13.5 volts, then turn on all clutch blowers (2) and motor fan (1) and second radiator fan (1) with GPS and cell phone powered up and it reads 12.9 volts but then turn on the Polaris radiator fan and it reads 12.2 volts...there is the culprit as I need to toss that fan for a similar fan that I have on the second radiator. When I run nothing but the motor it reads 13.5 volts but turn on the amp hog Polaris radiator fan and it drops to 12.7 volts...Was worried that the Apex stator wasn't strong enough to power everything but all along it was the Polaris fan
Oh yeah I was wrong on the Apex stator output the pre 2006 models run 420 watts at 30 amps, the 2006 and up Apex stator run 490 watts at 35 amps...
