Description 

100  W  Generator  Power  Unit  (GPU)  is  designed  to  provide  onboard  dual  voltage  regulated  power  supply  for  the 
unmanned aircraft vehicles.  

Despite small size, power unit offers outstanding efficiency as well as unique features such as the ability to monitor load, 
battery  current,  engine  rpm,  generator  and  battery  voltage  through  TTL  serial  communication.  All  power  distribution 
parameters can be transmitted to the ground station and monitored during the flight.   

Generator power unit can be used with brushless or brushed generators that have a voltage output within 10-35 Volts 
and 13-50 Volts respectively. Integrated Lithium Polymer charger is used for the  backup battery, which is switched on 
during the pre-flight checks, power peaks, or in the event of the engine failure. 

Power unit is packed in a sealed aluminum enclosure and fitted with the high-end industrial push-pull connectors. Fan 
assisted cooling option is available. 

Please contact for customized solutions.
