Installing ConverterPACs as Drivers
ConverterPACs™ can be installed in empty slots by simply sliding in the new ConverterPAC and securing
the screw at the base. Torque the retaining screw to 0.23N.m (2lb.in); do not overtighten. Power and
interface connections can be made after the ConverterPAC has been installed.
Installing Booster ConverterPACs to Increase Output Power
ConverterPACs can be paralleled for more power. Additional power to an output is obtained by
connecting one or more boosters in parallel with a single driver. The driver can be placed in any open
slot. All boosters should be inserted in the slots to the immediate right of the driver as viewed from
the output end of the MegaPAC™. Figure 2 shows a driver placed in slots #1 and 3, boosters placed
in slots #2 – 4. After inserting the driver and boosters, they are paralleled using bus bars across the
positive- and negative-output studs. Drivers should not be paralleled with each other. Bus bars between
a driver and booster(s) should never be disconnected. For help in identifying boosters and drivers, refer
to the Part Numbering section on Page 8. Please note that total output voltage should not exceed the
converter baseplate-output isolation rating of 400V. For a detailed guideline on how outputs should be
placed in series, please refer to:
