The new KDE-125UVC-USA ESC is made in the USA. The KDE-125UVC-USA ESC offers a redesigned case for effective cooling and sustained high power operation along with improvements to electrical components for increased reliability and efficiency. The new ESC contains all of the features of the UVC series ESCs such as:

• CAN Bus – enables live-telemetry feedback with the flight-controller for added safety and operation. Critical system components can be monitored in real time and additional control signals can be sent to the ESC. See the KDECAN or DroneCAN for setup and functionality.
• Data Logging – high-memory storage, onboard EEPROM allows for continuous logging of critical parameters (voltage, amperage, temperature, throttle signal, throttle output, eRPM, etc.) with the ability to download and review via standard PC-USB connection.
• Regenerative Braking – active braking during motor deceleration phase, providing instantaneous response to the flight controller commands and matched-response to acceleration profiles (less “float” during flight).
• Temperature Controlled Synchronous Rectification – new proprietary algorithm for smooth-running motors at low-throttle and improved, faster response under high-peak loads; all while significantly increasing flight-time efficiency and reducing operating temperatures (also termed "active-freewheeling").
• Active Monitoring – internal hardware and specialized algorithms continually monitor voltage, current, temperature, stall detection, and a host of other critical parameters for safe reliable operation and damage prevention.
• Dynamic Timing and Startup Power – optimally-tuned for smooth and precision-controlled startup throughout the full-range of UAS Brushless Motors (no hesitation, stuttering, or response lag).
• Increased Drive and Throttle Frequency Resolution – high-accuracy, linear throttle response throughout full-range of operation control.
• Motor Synchronization – frequency matched start-up protocols for smooth and efficient motor operation.
• Anti-Spark Circuitry – protects the integrity and life-span of critical connectors upon each initial plug-in and system power-up.
• Auto Recognition of PWM Control Signals – factory calibrated, automatic throttle calibration ideal for most applications.

Full Specifications:

*: ESC requires consistent airflow (5 mph or greater) across the heatsink to maintain maximum continuous current and power ratings during operation, specified at full-load condition (100% throttle). Increasing airflow or adding additional cooling can further increase the capabilities of the controller and extend the lifespan of the critical internal components.

*: ESC actively monitors internal hardware components to protect its circuitry. Overtemperature protection ensures safe and reliable operation by limiting the maximum RPM when the temperature rises above the maximum temperature rating. Overtemperature protection decreases an ESCs operating temperature and will bring the ESC back to safe operating conditions.

*: Extending the ESC power leads is at your own risk and voids the warranty. Additional capacitance must be added if the DC wire length between the ESC and power source is longer than 12 inches
