Fuel Cell Power Module and Power Path Module
architecture
The PPM allows you to connect two Intelligent Energy UAV Fuel Cell Power Modules
(FCPM) in series to provide a rated continuous power output of up to 1600W.
The PPM accepts inputs from 650W and 800W FCPMs. It is possible to use the PPM
with 2 × 800W FCPMs or 2 × 650W FCPMs.
Note: The FCPMs must be of the same rating.
The PPM can be operated in a single or dual hydrogen cylinder configuration,
see Section 7 for information.
