TethPower TP-P24 is a 24kW airborne DC-DC power module for high-power tethered UAV platforms using a 60V-class aircraft bus. It converts 850-1000VDC tether input into regulated 60V output with 400A rated current and up to 26kW peak output.
Designed for heavy-lift and mission-intensive platforms, TP-P24 combines IP65 protection, ≤9.5kg net weight and ≥97% efficiency. The manual specifies continuous 24kW operation from -20°C to +40°C, making thermal and environmental matching an important part of system selection.

TP-P24 should be selected as part of the complete tethered UAV power chain, not from the kW rating alone. TethPower reviews the aircraft battery/DC-bus voltage, continuous and peak demand, payload, tether length, cable voltage drop, operating altitude, temperature and ground-power architecture before confirming a matched configuration.

Answers to common compatibility, configuration, quotation, and delivery questions.
No. The confirmed continuous rating is 24kW. The manual specifies 26kW as peak output.
The manual specifies -20°C to +40°C for long-term 24kW operation. Environmental derating should be evaluated outside this condition.
The module itself weighs up to 9.5kg. The complete calculation must also include payload, mounting hardware and tether lifting force.
Transmitting 24kW at a high tether voltage reduces cable-side current, helping control conductor size, voltage drop and airborne cable mass.
It can be evaluated for high-power cleaning, firefighting-support and other heavy-lift applications when aircraft voltage, propulsion power, payload and tether requirements are compatible.
