Power Supply

Tips for specification of an optimum power source when using microDRIVE units.

Power Supply

The microDRIVE units can receive power from a wide type of power sources. Commonly used are:

  • Batteries (Li-Ion, Li-Po, etc).
  • Uni-directional Power Supplies (standard bench power supplies, tethers, etc).
  • Bi-directional Power Supplies.

When using uni-directional power supplies, AFW must be disabled to prevent damage to the power source or ESC from regenerative power.
