Product Overview
The PFC FrontEnd is an extremely low
profile, 1 RU enclosed chassis mount AC
front end that may be used with any Vicor
300 V VI-200/VI-J00 or 375 V Maxi,
Mini, Micro modules or ViPAC Arrays to
create a complete, high density AC-DC
power supply.
Accepting universal input voltages of 85
Vac to 264 Vac, and 100-380 Vdc, the
PFC FrontEnd can deliver up to 2,200 W
@ 230Vac from 4 non-isolated outputs
(additional using "Y" adapters). With an
extremely compact, package size of 1.72"
H (43,6mm) x 6.4" W (162,6mm) x 7" L
(177,8mm), the PFC FrontEnd can
provide >28 W/in3.
