PFC FrontEndPower Factor Corrected High Voltage DC Front End

Features

• Power factor corrected (PFC)• Low profile (1.72"/43,6 mm H)• Output power to 2,200 W• High power density > 28 W/in3

• Up to 4 non-isolated outputs• Integral cooling fan• Meets MIL-STD-810E for vibration• DIN rail mountable• Safety agency approvals: cTÜVus,

CE Marked• RoHS compliant• Output voltage 360, 375 or 384V

Product Overview

The PFC FrontEnd is an extremely lowprofile, 1 RU enclosed chassis mount ACfront end that may be used with any Vicor300 V VI-200/VI-J00 or 375 V Maxi,Mini, Micro modules or ViPAC Arrays tocreate a complete, high density AC-DCpower supply.

Accepting universal input voltages of 85Vac to 264 Vac, and 100-380 Vdc, thePFC FrontEnd can deliver up to 2,200 W@ 230Vac from 4 non-isolated outputs(additional using "Y" adapters). With anextremely compact, package size of 1.72"H (43,6mm) x 6.4" W (162,6mm) x 7" L(177,8mm), the PFC FrontEnd canprovide >28 W/in3.

The PFC FrontEnd is DIN mountable.

Besides meeting the cTÜVus and CEMarked safety agency approvals, the PFCFrontEnd complies with harmonic currentlimits per EN61000-3-2, electrical fasttransient/burst per EN61000-4-4 andsurge immunity per EN61000-4-5.It also meets the rugged MIL-STD-810E for vibration.
