Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1. What is the main purpose of a Power Distribution Board in a drone?

Ans. A Power Distribution Board (PDB) serves as a central hub that distributes power from the drone's main battery to all the electronic components, primarily the ESCs and motors. It simplifies the wiring, making the drone build cleaner and more organized while providing a stable power supply to all connected parts.

Q2. Does this PDB have a BEC, and why is that important?

Ans. Yes, this Holybro PDB has a built-in BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit). A BEC's purpose is to step down the high voltage of the main battery (e.g., 16.8V for a 4S battery) to a lower, regulated voltage, typically 5V. This 5V output is then used to safely power sensitive electronics like the flight controller, receiver, and FPV camera without damaging them.

Q3. Can this PDB be used for a drone with more than four motors?

Ans. Yes, most Holybro PDBs are designed to be versatile and can be used for drones with more than four motors, such as a hexacopter (6 motors) or an octocopter (8 motors). You would simply solder multiple ESCs to a single set of power pads if the board doesn't have a dedicated set for each ESC. The total current draw must not exceed the PDB's maximum rated current.
