3804948 Electric Motor Core | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Core deposit for an electric motor. It is the refundable charge raised against the old electric motor when the exchange unit is bought, and it comes back once the worn electric motor is returned. The line itself is an accounting entry rather than a part, so nothing ships against it on its own. Under Volvo Penta's core numbering the exchange unit it belongs to takes part number 3801948, which is the number to quote for the component itself. The other electric motor cores in this block are 3804945 and 3804959, and nothing published against them separates one from another, so order the number that matches the electric motor actually coming off. It belongs to the high-voltage side of a Volvo Penta electric or hybrid driveline, so removal of the old unit is work for a technician trained and authorised for high-voltage systems.

⚙️ Key Features

• Core deposit line, not an electric motor you can fit
• Belongs with the exchange unit, part number 3801948
• Refunded when the old electric motor is returned
• Not separable from the other electric motor cores here, so order by part number
• High-voltage driveline core - handling and return both need arranging

🔌 Function

As a line item it carries the refundable core charge on the exchange; the motor itself turns the driveline's stored electrical energy into shaft torque, driving the propeller shaft directly or through the drive's gearing.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• This is a deposit line and has nothing to fail in itself; the signs below are what normally condemns the electric motor being exchanged
• Drive down on power, or derating and cutting back under load
• Whine, growl or vibration from the motor that changes with shaft speed
• The motor running hot with its cooling working continuously
• Motor or isolation fault codes at the helm that return after the harness has been checked

🛠️ Service Notes

• The charge is refunded when the worn electric motor is returned, so keep the old unit and send it back rather than scrapping it
• Ordering this number on its own supplies no part - it goes on the order beside the exchange unit, part number 3801948
• This is a high-voltage driveline component - isolate and prove the system dead by the documented procedure before removing the old unit, and have the work done by a technician trained and authorised for high-voltage systems

📦 Condition

• Refundable core deposit - not a physical part
