Heavy-lift industrial drones are transforming inspection, surveying, and delivery operations across industries. But as payload capacity increases, so do the power demands — and the risks of power system failure:
- Mid-flight power dropout causing drone crash and payload loss
- Voltage instability during high-load maneuvers (lifting, hovering in wind)
- Battery management system failures leading to over-discharge
- Flight controller brownouts during critical autonomous operations
- Expensive equipment damage and mission failure
Industrial drones operate under extreme conditions: rapid altitude changes, vibration from multiple rotors, wide temperature swings, and electromagnetic interference from onboard communication systems. The power conversion chain — from high-voltage battery packs to subsystem rails — must be absolutely reliable.
The MDN6000-360S96 is a high-power isolated DC-DC converter designed for heavy-lift industrial drones and other high-power aerial platforms requiring reliable voltage conversion from ultra-high voltage DC sources.

- Vibration and shock from multi-rotor operation
- Moisture and condensation at altitude
- Electromagnetic interference from communication systems
- Temperature extremes during high-altitude operations
Heavy-lift drones carry expensive payloads — LiDAR scanners, thermal cameras, industrial sensors — over power lines, wind turbines, and oil pipelines. Power system reliability is non-negotiable.
6000W high power output — delivers sufficient power for both propulsion systems and heavy payloads simultaneously, supporting sustained hover and high-load maneuvers without voltage sag.
96VDC output at 62.5A — ideal for drone subsystem power distribution, matching common industrial drone motor controller and avionics voltage rails.
Ultra-wide input range (280–500VDC) — accommodates varying battery pack voltages during discharge cycles, with additional ranges up to 1500VDC for custom high-voltage battery configurations.
Surge and spike suppression — protects sensitive flight controllers, GPS modules, and communication equipment from voltage transients during motor load changes and ESC switching.
Dual electrical isolation — ensures safety by isolating the high-voltage battery bus from low-voltage subsystems, preventing fault propagation and protecting ground crew during maintenance.
Compact and rugged (301 × 261 × 124mm, IP65) — designed to fit within the constrained space of drone power bays while surviving the harsh mechanical and environmental conditions of aerial operations.
Built-in protections:
- Input undervoltage protection — prevents deep battery discharge
- Input overvoltage protection — safeguards against charging system faults
- Overtemperature protection — critical for enclosed aerial power bays
- Output overcurrent protection — prevents ESC and motor damage
- Short-circuit protection — isolates faults to prevent cascading failures
For heavy-lift industrial drones, power conversion reliability directly determines mission success or failure — and the safety of expensive payloads.
The MDN6000-360S96 combines 6000W high power output, 96V high-voltage output, ultra-high voltage input with five range options, dual electrical isolation, IP65 protection, 93% high efficiency, and CAN communication into a compact, rugged DC-DC converter engineered for the demanding conditions of industrial drone operations.
