Application Tips
Remote Sense
A remote sense feature is provided on outputs configured with Mini or Maxi sized DC-DC
converters. The output sense connections must be terminated either locally or remotely and
may not be left open. VIPACs provided with the optional LugMate connectors are
configured for local sensing via removable jumpers installed at the factory. The jumpers will
need to be removed if access to the secondary control function is made via mating
connector 16385 and connections will need to be established for local or remote sensing.
Hold-up Capacitors
Hold-up capacitors can be located remotely with up to 3' of cable. Vicor applications
engineering should be consulted for projects requiring greater separation.
Wire Routing
Avoid routing wires over the VIPAC Power System.
Do not bundle Input and Output leads together.
Crimping Tool
The VIPAC can be configured with parallel modules for increased power or redundancy.
When output terminations other than the LugMate are specified the user must
properly connect the output and sense terminals. At no time operate a paralleled
output with a load applied to only one module! (See Output Connection Options)
