Axiom Test Equipment Blog: Basic DC Testing Keeps Drones Flying Longer - RF CafeMay 8, 2020 - Vista, California - Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog to discuss both what must be tested, and which are the correct instruments to perform DC electrical testing for the design and maintenance of UAVs.

By performing regular measurements on a UAV, the efficiency of the UAV's powertrain can be better characterized and optimized. Especially in all-electric drones, scheduled measurements can help to maintain the efficiency of an electric UAV's propulsion system. Discover specific instruments used for maintaining UAV electrical system performance including battery analyzers and simulators, digital multimeters and voltmeters.

Basic DC Testing Keeps Drones Flying Longer

"Drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are quickly being adopted for commercial and industrial applications, almost as quickly as they have been accepted as part of the modern battlefield for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. If major retailers follow through with plans to deliver purchased goods by drone, customers may soon expect to receive delivery of an order in as little as 30 minutes. UAVs and other robotic systems have already proven their value in many different areas, including in farming, in preventing forest fires, even in mapping long runs of power lines for breaks and failures. But what happens to a drone that is losing power? What must be tested, and which are the right instruments to perform the testing? Please join us in the conclusion of this three-part series on testing UAVs; the earlier two blogs explored measurements for maintaining wireless and digital electrical performance in drones.

Some military UAVs (notably for surveillance and higher altitudes) are quite large, with fixed wings and running on liquid fuel and turbine or internal combustion engines. UAVs for commercial and industrial use tend to be smaller, with multiple rotary wings. They typically use multiple brushless DC motors and electrical propulsion systems powered by lithium polymer rechargeable batteries. Different propulsion systems are used in smaller UAVs, with the smallest drones running solely on battery power and DC electric motors typically driving multiple propellers. UAVs with hybrid power systems provide some additional range by using a turbine engine to generate electricity for an electric propulsion system. For these smaller drones, the efficiency of the power supply and the electrical propulsion system is everything and will determine the ultimate flight time and distance for a UAV."  Click here for... the REST of the story...
