Overview
TP-P36 is an airborne DC-DC module with 1200-1450VDC input, 58.5VDC rated output (54-59VDC range), 32kW recommended design power, a 36kW extreme-test value rather than a continuous rating, and approximately 12.5kg weight. TethPower TP-P36 is the highest-power airborne DC-DC module in this product group, designed for heavy-lift tethered UAV platforms with very high propulsion and mission-power demand. The detailed electrical specification defines a 1200-1450VDC tether input and a regulated 58.5V rated output.
Use 32 kW as the actual design power for TP-P36, allowing for conversion losses. The 36 kW value is an extreme-test value, not a continuous rated output. The module weighs approximately 12.5 kg and has IP65 protection with integrated air cooling for high-power industrial UAV integration.

System selection guidance
TP-P36 should be selected as part of the complete tethered UAV power chain, not from the kW rating alone. We review 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.
FAQ about TP-P36
What is the confirmed output voltage of TP-P36?
Rated output voltage is 58.5 V with a 54–59 V output range.
Which output power should be used for system design?
Use 32kW for actual system design. The 36kW value is an extreme-test value only and must not be used as a continuous rated output.
Why does TP-P36 use a 1200-1450VDC tether input?
At very high power, increasing transmission voltage reduces tether-side current, which helps manage conductor size, voltage drop and cable weight.
What aircraft class can carry TP-P36?
The module weighs about 12.5kg before mounting hardware and tether load are considered. It is intended only for heavy-lift aircraft with adequate payload and propulsion margin.
Does the operating temperature range establish a continuous 36kW rating?
No. The operating temperature range does not establish a continuous 36kW rating. Use 32kW for actual design and evaluate the installed cooling conditions.
