A Power module for APM or Pixhawk is typically designed to provide regulated power to the flight controller and other electronic components in a drone or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). These modules are used to ensure a stable and reliable power supply for the system. Here are some common features and components you might find in such a module:
Voltage Regulator:ย A voltage regulator is a crucial part of the power module. It takes the incoming voltage from the battery and regulates it to a stable output voltage suitable for the flight controller, typically around 5V. This ensures a consistent power supply to the electronics.
Current Sensor:ย Many power modules include a current sensor, which measures the current drawn from the battery. This data is essential for monitoring power consumption and can be used for telemetry and data logging.
XT60 Connector:ย The XT60 connector is a common choice for connecting the power module to the battery. Itโs a reliable connector that can handle the current and voltage requirements of most drones.
Battery Monitor:ย Some power modules have battery voltage monitoring built-in. This allows the flight controller to keep track of the remaining battery capacity and trigger low-voltage warnings or return-to-home functions when the battery is running low.
EMI/RFI Filtering:ย To reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), power modules may include filtering components to ensure a clean and noise-free power supply to the flight controller.
BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit):ย The BEC in your mentioned module probably refers to a Battery Eliminator Circuit. BEC is a feature that can provide regulated power to other components like servos, cameras, or other auxiliary devices in your drone. In this case, itโs rated at 3A, meaning it can supply up to 3 amps of current to those components.
Compatibility:ย Power modules should be compatible with the flight controller (e.g., APM or Pixhawk) and the overall electrical system of the drone.
