High-Performance 1188W Switching Power Supply for Professional Drone Chargers
Designed for the demanding needs of modern drone enthusiasts and professionals, this advanced 1188W switching power supply sets a new standard for reliability, efficiency, and safety in aerial device charging. Engineered specifically to integrate seamlessly with high-power drone charger systems, it delivers the robust, stable, and clean DC power required to charge multiple high-capacity LiPo/LiHV batteries quickly and safely, minimizing ground time and maximizing flight time.
Core Advantages: Compact Powerhouse with Superior Efficiency
At the heart of its design is an exceptional balance of power density and performance. Housed within a compact chassis measuring only 180*90*46mm, this unit delivers a full 1188W of continuous power with a remarkable efficiency exceeding 94% at 230V AC. This high efficiency translates directly into less wasted energy as heat, allowing for cooler operation, enhanced long-term reliability, and lower operating costs. Its small footprint is a significant advantage for mobile charging stations or workshops where space is at a premium.
Universal Input with Active PFC for Global Use
Understanding the global nature of drone operations, this power supply features a universal full-range AC input (90V-264V AC, 50/60Hz), making it compatible with power grids almost anywhere in the world. The built-in Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuit is a critical feature, ensuring a power factor of >0.98 at 100V and >0.95 at 230V. This not only reduces harmonic current pollution to the grid but also improves the utilization of input power, allowing it to draw current more effectively and operate stably even on generators or weaker power sources often encountered in field operations.
Precise and Stable 66V/18A Output
The supply provides a tightly regulated +66VDC output at 18A, ideal for powering advanced multi-channel drone chargers. It ensures outstanding output stability with a line regulation of ±0.1% and load regulation of ±1%, guaranteeing consistent charging performance despite fluctuations in the AC line or changes in the charger's load. The output accuracy is maintained within ±3% across its operating range.
Comprehensive Protection for Ultimate Safety
Safety is paramount when dealing with high-value drones and high-energy batteries. This power supply incorporates a multi-layered protection suite:
Overload & Short Circuit Protection: Utilizes a "hiccup" mode for automatic recovery attempts within 120-180% load range, protecting both the supply and the connected charger.
Output Over-Voltage Protection (OVP): Triggers a lock-out protection at 110-130% of the set output, requiring a 5-minute cool-down after a power cycle to reset, preventing potential damage to sensitive charger electronics.
Brown-Out Protection: Automatically safeguards the unit if input voltage drops below 75V AC.
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP): Monitors internal temperature and will automatically shut down if it exceeds 105°C, resuming operation once cooled, ensuring component longevity.
Lock Protection for Faults: For severe fault conditions like a hard short circuit, a lock-out mode requires a full power reset after 5 minutes, ensuring a complete system check.
Built for Rigorous Environments
Certified to key international safety standards including EN62368-1, and EMC standards like FCC Part15 Class B and EN61000-3-2, it ensures safe and interference-free operation. With an operational temperature range of -20°C to +60°C and resistance to vibration, it is built to perform reliably in various environments, from warm indoor workshops to colder field sites. A high MTBF of >50,000 hours per MIL-HDBK-217F underscores its design for durability.
Conclusion
This 1188W switching power supply is the ideal power foundation for any serious drone charging setup. Its combination of high power in a small form factor, global AC compatibility, advanced active PFC, rigorous safety protections, and robust construction delivers the peace of mind and performance that drone pilots and professional operations require for efficient, safe, and reliable battery management.
