MPC Efficiency

Figure 1 shows the typical efficiency with which the MPC-1500 series power conditioner delivers 

power to its AC OUTPUT from a 230 Vrms AC INPUT, an 115 Vrms AC INPUT or a 28 V DC INPUT. 

Units with the “Electronic Breaker” option installed can be up to 1% less efficient at full load.

Total Output Power that can be derived from the AC INPUT

The total MPC output power (the AC OUTPUT power plus the optional DC OUTPUT power) for 

the MPC-1500 series is rated at 1250 W for an ambient temperature as high as 55

o

C (131

o

F).  It 

draws this power first from the AC INPUT (if its voltage is within range) and then the DC INPUT 

(if its voltage is within range).

However, when the AC INPUT voltage is at the low end of its range (<90 Vrms) or the ambient 

temperature is at the high end of its range (>45oC/113oF) the MPC will not be able to deliver 

its full rated output power in the steady-state without switching over to the DC INPUT (if it is 

available and >22 Vdc).  Figure 2 indicates the total steady-state output power that the MPC 

can derive from the AC INPUT under these extreme conditions. See Figure 3 for information on 

transient conditions.
