We tested the BlueROV2 equipped with the SubseaLED 1500W power supply system! We’ve submerged it in a water tank and monitored the voltage and current as we ramp up the power from 25% to 100% gain.
The results? Impressive voltage stability even as the load increases. Check out our video.

Many have faced bandwidth limitations with competitive PSU systems, but our solution changes the game.
With our Power Supply System at full throttle on the Blue Robotics BlueROV2, and even with a Ping360 sonar connected, we achieve over 70 Mbit of remaining bandwidth across a 250m tether - proving high performance without compromise.
Quick recap:
1500W Output: Powers your BlueROV2 efficiently.
Over 70 Mbit Bandwidth: Maintains superior communication, even with sonar and other optional tools installed.
Up to 450meters Tether: Long-distance operation without losing signal integrity.
Test in sea water 
Compatibility with the Fathom-X passed 
Achieving a bitrate of over 70Mbit over 250meters of tether.
I am currently working on developing a power architecture for a 2KM long tether ROV…My Maximum load requirements are 4000W and i assume a 700V 5.71 A transmission is a option for reducing the Cable size…Do you have any such SMPS or can you suggest me some options to achieve this

This is the power it can supply when equipped onboard the Bluerov2 in Heavy Configuration.
In my humble opinion, after having used this power supply in two offshore oil campaigns, where reliability, resistance, and power are a must have, having in the past tried other similar systems recommended by B Robotics, I tell you that with this system a small Rov with a lot of potential has been transformed into a large Rov that can also face demanding work dives in the Atlantic Ocean… and there is another thing to consider and not a small one, the owners of the subsea led company having great offshore experience, are very collaborative even for particular needs they are able to give additional solutions to their system, as in the case in which in the last job I asked them for support to manage a tool that I had to mount on the Blue Rov…

@Framau thanks for sharing your insights. We’re really happy to see our system support your offshore operations!
today we did the 100th dive, with your system, even the tether is resisting quite serious daily abuse! 
Keeping in mind that the first dives were done in freeswim from a rig, where the launch point was 38 meters from the surface… And here the marine groove is really merciless (west africa congo)…
Very happy with the system, as you know we already bought others 2, and the second one for our ops in 
, just finally arrived today!
