The 900W Power Distribution Unit (PDU) takes in unregulated battery voltage from 24 to 60 VDC and delivers regulated outputs suitable for distribution within small to medium-sized UAVs.
The PDU provides dual battery inputs with automatic lossless switchover between the two, and an umbilical input ensures that batteries are not depleted during pre-flight checks prior to take-off.
Three main independent and user-configurable power outputs are provided for avionics, servos and payloads, with avionics and servo supplies fully duplicated for redundancy and maximum reliability. A low-power redundant 5V output is also provided.
The system can be monitored via RS232 serial or CAN, and provides comprehensive voltage, current and internal temperature data. It is available in either a regular slimline or rugged IP66-rated enclosure, and both can be customized to suit requirements for types and number of connectors.
