Temperature Measurement of the Selected UAV Electronic Components

On the platform of an unmanned aerial vehicle there are electronic devices that emit large amounts of heat due to their power supply. Controlling the temperature of individual components, which the UAV is equipped with, allows to take care of proper operation of the entire propulsion system and control system. This allows, in particular, to maintain the safety of operating such an object. In this paper, key electronic components which can heat up during operation in operational conditions to dangerous temperature values were analyzed. The aim of the study is to verify the correctness of selection of components of the constructed propulsion and control system. As a result of the tests, the temperature distribution on the tested components and the dependence of the (maximum) temperature measured in spot points as a function of time were obtained. The intensity of temperature rise was determined and the time of safe operation at assumed operating conditions was examined.
