The CUAV HV-PM is a high-quality power module for RC drones and FPV aircraft that carries an XT60 plug. It is compatible with the CUAV V5+, Pixhack and Pixhawk flight controllers.
The listing highlights a high input voltage range of 10V to 60V (3S to 14S batteries), a 5V output of up to 5A to the flight controller and a maximum detection current of 60A. It sends the current and voltage measurement as analogue signals to the flight controller.
Built-in protection covers overcurrent, overvoltage and overheating, and use is simple: the 6P signal cable goes into the flight controller's POWER port.
High input voltage: 10V to 60V, or 3S to 14S batteries.
Voltage detection accuracy: plus or minus 0.1V.
Current detection: maximum 60A.
Higher power port output: up to 5A at 5V to the flight controller.
Analogue current and voltage output: signals sent to the flight controller.
Simple to use: 6P signal cable plugs into the POWER port.
Protection: overcurrent, overvoltage and overheating.
A power module sits between the flight battery and the rest of the aircraft. It does two jobs: a built-in regulator (a BEC) converts the battery voltage to a clean 5V-class supply for the flight controller, and a current and voltage sensor reports how much power the aircraft is drawing. The flight controller uses the readings for battery-level warnings, failsafe decisions and flight logs.
For the readings to be trustworthy, the flight controller's battery monitor needs to be set up for the module. Enter the correct voltage and current scaling values, and compare the reported voltage with a multimeter at the battery to calibrate it. A wrong scale factor can make a battery look fuller or emptier than it really is.
Do not use the regulator to power servos or other high-current devices unless the manual says it can, because a heavy load can pull the supply down and reset the flight controller. Keep the module cool and make sure that the solder joints and connectors are secure, because this part carries the full current of the aircraft.
