6000W Tethered Drone Power Supply (TPS-6000): Unleash Persistent Aerial Operations
In the demanding world of aerial technology, flight time is the ultimate constraint. The 6000W Tethered Drone Power Supply (TPS-6000) is engineered to eliminate this limitation entirely. This system represents the pinnacle of ground-based power solutions, designed to deliver continuous, stable, and reliable electrical power to heavy-lift drones, enabling truly persistent 24/7 flight operations. For mission-critical applications in surveillance, public safety, telecommunications, and industrial inspection, the TPS-6000 is the cornerstone of unwavering aerial presence. It is more than a power generator; it is a comprehensive, intelligent, and rugged system built to meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.
Performance Characteristics: Engineered for Maximum Power and Reliability
The TPS-6000 is architected to meet the substantial power demands of advanced heavy-lift drones and their sophisticated payloads, including high-resolution EO/IR gimbals, LiDAR systems, and robust communication relays.
Unwavering Power Delivery
At its core, the TPS-6000 provides a continuous 6000 watts of output power, with a peak capability of up to 7200 watts for short durations to handle sudden surges in power demand during aggressive maneuvers or payload activation. This ensures your drone operates without any power-related interruptions. The system utilizes a high-voltage DC output, strategically chosen to minimize power loss over the significant length of the tether cable, ensuring maximum efficiency is delivered from the ground unit to the aircraft.
Intelligent Power Management and Electrical Safety
The system features a universal AC input voltage range, allowing it to operate seamlessly from 90V to 264V, making it compatible with power grids worldwide. Internally, an advanced power conversion system maintains a high power factor of greater than 0.99 and extremely low total harmonic distortion, ensuring it is a good citizen on the electrical grid and does not interfere with other sensitive equipment.
A multi-layered protection suite is integral to its design. This includes comprehensive over-current, over-voltage, and under-voltage protection, which actively safeguards the drone's sensitive avionics. The system also incorporates short-circuit and over-temperature protection, automatically adjusting performance or shutting down to prevent damage to both the power supply and the connected drone.
Ruggedized Environmental Design
Built for field deployment, the TPS-6000 thrives in challenging conditions. Its operating temperature range spans from a frigid -20°C to a scorching +50°C. The ground unit is housed in a ruggedized, portable case with an ingress protection rating of IP54, making it resistant to dust and water splashes from any direction. An intelligent, temperature-controlled cooling system ensures optimal thermal management, preventing overheating even during prolonged operations in direct sunlight.
Quality Control: A Foundation of Uncompromising Standards
Every TPS-6000 unit is a product of a rigorous, multi-stage quality control process that begins at the component level and concludes with final system validation.
Precision in Component Selection and Assembly
Our commitment to quality starts with sourcing. Every critical component, from the high-frequency transformers and MOSFETs to the connectors and PCB substrates, is procured from tier-one, certified suppliers. Each incoming component undergoes a stringent vetting process to verify its specifications and durability. The assembly process takes place in a controlled, ESD-safe environment, utilizing automated soldering and precision tooling to ensure consistency and reliability that surpasses hand-assembled alternatives.
Comprehensive Testing and Validation Protocol
Every single TPS-6000 unit must pass a demanding series of tests before it is approved for shipment. This begins with a 72-Hour Burn-In Test, where each unit is operated at full load in a thermal chamber cycling through extreme temperatures. This process accelerates aging and identifies any potential infant mortality failures.
Following the burn-in, each unit undergoes full-load performance verification, where output voltage, current stability, ripple, and efficiency are meticulously measured against strict benchmarks. Safety system checks are performed manually and automatically, simulating fault conditions like short circuits and over-voltage to ensure all protective mechanisms trigger instantaneously and correctly. Finally, the complete system, including the tether cable and drone interface, is tested for electromagnetic compatibility to ensure it meets relevant global standards like FCC and CE, guaranteeing it will not cause or suffer from interference in the field.
Detection and Maintenance: Ensuring Long-Term Operational Readiness
The TPS-6000 is designed not only for performance but also for serviceability, with built-in diagnostics and a clear maintenance protocol to minimize downtime and extend operational lifespan.
Proactive System Diagnostics
The unit features an intuitive status display and a comprehensive array of internal sensors that provide real-time operational data. Users can monitor key parameters at a glance, including input/output voltage, current draw, power output, and internal temperature. The system is capable of logging operational data and error codes, which can be downloaded for in-depth analysis. This allows operators to track system health over time and identify potential issues before they lead to failure. For advanced diagnostics, a service port provides engineering-level access to hundreds of data points, enabling swift troubleshooting by technical support teams.
Structured and Straightforward Maintenance
Routine maintenance for the TPS-6000 is straightforward and scheduled. Daily checks involve a visual inspection of the ground unit's casing, cooling vents, and all electrical connectors for any signs of damage or debris. The tether cable requires careful inspection for cuts, abrasions, or kinks.
Scheduled maintenance includes cleaning the air intake and exhaust vents to ensure unimpeded airflow for the cooling system. We recommend a professional system performance check annually or after every 2,000 hours of operation, whichever comes first. This service involves a thorough internal inspection, verification of calibration, and replacement of any consumable parts like cooling fans, ensuring the unit continues to perform as new. Detailed maintenance guides and checklists are provided with every system.
User Feedback and Real-World Validation
The true measure of the TPS-6000's success is its performance in the hands of our clients across diverse industries. Their feedback has been instrumental in refining our product and validates our design philosophy.
