The 1500W Ideal Diode Power Combiner is designed to merge two distinct power sources, establishing a fail-safe system that minimizes energy loss as heat. This highly efficient device typically experiences a voltage drop of less than 100 mW at 25A, in stark contrast to conventional power diodes, which can exhibit a drop of one volt or more under similar conditions. This makes it notably suitable for various applications, including powering drone electronic speed controllers (ESCs) using dual batteries.
Encased in a sturdy mechanical housing, the Power Combiner features built-in cable strain relief, while the electronics PCB is coated for moisture protection. It also includes reverse polarity safeguards and can withstand transient voltages of up to +100V.
