Overview
The MAD AMPX 80A (5-14S) Drone ESC is a high-power electronic speed controller designed for UAV applications, offering exceptional reliability, efficiency, and protection. It supports 5-14S LiPo batteries (16V-64V) and features CAN communication, dual throttle control (RPM+CAN), and an IP67-rated waterproof and dustproof design. This ESC comes in two versions (V1.0 and V2.0), with the V2.0 version featuring enhanced performance and upgraded firmware compatibility.
Key Features
- High Continuous Current Handling: Supports 80A continuous current with 84A peak current limit.
- Wide Voltage Compatibility: Works with 5-14S LiPo batteries (16V-64V).
- CAN Communication Interface (V2.0): Enables real-time data exchange with flight controllers, providing voltage, current, temperature, and operational status.
- Firmware Upgradeable (V2.0): Allows updates for enhanced functionality.
- Integrated BEC (V2.0): Provides 5V/200mA output for additional power supply needs.
- IP67 Protection Level: Fully waterproof, dustproof, and corrosion-resistant.
- Optimized Cooling Design: Includes a high-efficiency aluminum heat sink for superior heat dissipation.
- Overload Protection: Unlimited automatic restart for enhanced safety.
- Advanced Throttle Control: Supports RPM + CAN dual throttle mode.
- Convenient Installation: Integrated mounting screw holes ensure easy installation without considering front and back sides.
Protection Functions
- Short Circuit Protection: Automatically shuts down output in case of short circuit. Power must be re-applied to restore normal operation.
- Stall Protection: If a motor stall is detected, the throttle must be reset to zero before resuming.
- Voltage Protection: If the ESC detects voltage below 16V or above 64V, it will emit an alarm and disable flight.
-
Temperature Protection:
- At 125°C, the ESC reduces output power to 50%.
- At 140°C, the ESC shuts down completely.
- Normal output is restored when the temperature drops to 80°C.
- Throttle Loss Protection: If the ESC detects a loss of throttle signal for over 2 seconds, it cuts power and restores it once the signal is regained.
- Startup Protection: If the motor does not start within 10 seconds, the ESC shuts down to prevent damage.
- Throttle Calibration Setting: A DO MI SO sound confirms a successful throttle range setting.
