I hope this is ok to put this question in this part of the forum. I'm not sure where to specifically put this.
So, I am anticipating a rather large multirotor build in 2019. I have my motors and props picked out and I'll be using a 12S lipo configuration. The specs for the motors state a max of 80amps on a 14S setup. I will only be running 12S. I have found some 100amp esc's.
Now, I've been hearing some people are using bus bars, for power distribution, instead of a PDB. I was thinking about doing this and still using a lower voltage PDB for the LED's, vtx, camera, etc.
So here's my question....how do I go about building a suitable bus bar to handle the 44.4v and 80+ amps? Honestly, it's not likely that I will fly "full throttle" for very long, so I won't be hitting those high amps but I'm just concerned about the possibility of heat being produced and would be any possibilities of melting the bus bar connectors, etc.
Does anyone have any thoughts? I'd be most greatful!
