Overview
The PFC MegaPAC family of supplies combine power factor correction (PFC) with the
inherent configurability of all Westcor MegaPAC products. This design guide covers 4
model variations:
1.
PFC MegaPAC 1600 W max, standard chassis
2. PFC MegaPAC MI 1600 W max, rugged COTS chassis
3.
PFC MegaPAC High Power 2400 W max, standard chassis
4. PFC MegaPAC High Power MI 2400 W max, rugged COTS chassis
All PFC MegaPACs have the same input and output connections, mounting points, and
the same dimensions:
The extended length (-EL) chassis is covered in a different design guide
A complete power supply is configured at the factory by selecting and inserting up to
eight same length slide-in output assemblies called ConverterPACs. ConverterPACs
incorporate one (or more) VI-200/VI-J00), Maxi Vicor DC to DC converters and/or
FlexPACs and are available in a wide selection of output voltage and power levels.
The net result is a power supply that offers the advantages of a custom supply, but is
assembled from standard and modular building blocks. Currently, the standard power
chassis uses only FlexPACs and ConverterPACs with VI-200/VI-J00 Vicor DC to DC
converters while the high power chassis accepts FlexPACs and ConverterPACs with
both VI-200/VI-J00 and/or Maxi module. (Refer to page 6 for a brief overview of the
ConverterPACs used.)
Using the PowerBench configurator tool available on
www.vicorpower.com
, anybody can now configure a PFC MegaPAC (and other Westcor
power supplies) online.
