1800W Power Distribution Unit

The 1800W Power Distribution Unit converts unregulated battery voltage down to a set of regulated outputs suitable for distribution within medium- to large-sized UAVs. Six main outputs are provided, each of which may be user-configured for voltage. The avionics and servo power supplies are fully duplicated internally to maximise system reliability through redundancy.

Features

dual battery inputs with automatic lossless switchover
An umbilical input to ensures that batteries are not depleted during pre-flight checks
RS232 and CAN monitoring interfaces provide extensive reporting of voltages, currents and internal temperature
Avionics, Servo and Payload outputs are user-configurable for voltage.
Avionics, Servo and low-power outputs have 100% redundancy (i.e. the outputs are the result of combining two identical and independent power supplies, each of which is capable of supplying 100% of rated load)
Two battery inputs. Battery voltage may range from 24 to 60 VDC. Supported battery types include:
- - - - LiPo: 10 – 14S
      - LiS: 15 – 20S
      - LiFe: 10 – 14S
      - LiIon: 10 – 15S
