VIPAC combines application specific power processing units (PPU) a choice of chassis styles and in AC input versions, remotely located hold-up capacitors to provide fast, flexible and highly reliable power solutions for a wide range of demanding applications.
The PPU is the core element of the system and may be specified for operation for 48 Vdc or 115/230Vac. The PPU incorporates Vicor's FIAM (for DC input) or autoranging FARM (for AC input) modular front end to provide transient protection, EMI filtering and inrush current limiting. The WEB based VIPAC design centre enables designers to configure the PPU with up to three independantly regulated outputs having power levels from 50-500w and with as much as 900w total power output power. Vicors 2nd Generation DC-DC converters , in industry standard quarter, half and full brick packages are used to deliver output voltages from 2 to 48Vdc. Additionally the wide trim range of the modules can provide the operating voltages as low as 500mV.
The PPU is comprised of :
AC or DC input modular front end.
Vicors 2nd Generation, high density DC- DC converters.
Interface board.
Cold plate or finned chassis.
Intelligant communications port.
Choice of 3 output termination styles.
The VIPAC is offered in several chassis configurations facilitating its use in a variety of applications using either conduction, convection, or forces air cooling.
The low profile PPU can be placed closer to the load or attached to cabinet wall, coldplate or heatsink. The 0.5" or 1" finned versions, available in longitudal or transverse configurations, are ideal for use in free or forced cooling environments. The use of standard chassis footprints allows different input voltage configurations of the VIPAC to be used interchangeably depending on system and market requirement.
AC input VIPACs use remotely located capacitors to facilitate packaging and placement options not previously available. The low profile PPU can be placed closer to the load or attached to cabinet walls while the capacitors may be integrated into the host system away from heat sources from improved reliability. System hold-up/ride thru requirements can also be tailored for specific applications via different value capacitors. The hold-up capacitors may be obtained from Vicor as a pre-packaged hold-up box (HUB).
