3 INTRODUCTION TO THE AC90SVHE-3 / AC100VHE-3,
cont.
Being converters designed from the ground up specifically for the yachting industry, all efforts
have been made to produce systems capable of withstanding the marine environment. All system
components are packaged in one drip-proof, dust-resistant stainless steel enclosure. Major
components are internally modular, allowing a simple exchange in the unlikely event of failure.
Complete electrical maintenance and service can be provided with only top and front access to the
system. Three lightweight power modules can be removed and replaced through the front panel
for repair or power level upgrade.
System operation is managed through two basic operators: A safety disconnect on the front of the
enclosure is used for securing input service during maintenance and service, and three membrane
switch groups in the control console—SHORE POWER, CONVERTER POWER, and SHIP’S
POWER—provide normal operation of the system. Each switch group contains an ON and OFF
switch with associated LED indicators.
In addition to the basic function of power conversion, the converter provides the user with a
sophisticated power analysis and monitoring capacity. All parameters for input and output
power, along with operations and status information, are available on the front panel display
console. Various displays are selected through a long life, sealed membrane switch panel.
This converter is designed to have the heat it introduces into its own internal atmosphere cooled
via a side-mounted, air-to-liquid heat exchanger. The heat-exchanger is designed for use with
chilled water or coolant (not seawater).
For additional information on controls and indicators, please refer to Section 6.
