PFC Mini Configuration Layout

Shown above, are two sample PFC Mini configuration layouts. Due to the configurability
nature of the PFC Mini, various output combinations are possible. See Page 12 for more
information about your output connections. The PFC Mini has three slots and each slot
accommodates either full or half-brick modules.
Please note that the maximum output power of the PFC Mini is 1,500 W at 230 Vac,
800 W at 115 Vac, irrespective of the maximum output power of the modules e.g. if
a PFC Mini is configured with three Maxi modules, on the configuration sheet, the
maximum output power of the module (600 W) is listed. However, irrespective of the
maximum output power of the three Maxi modules (1,800 W), the maximum output
power of the PFC Mini is still 1,500 W at 230 Vac and 800 W at 115 Vac.
When populated with 12 V modules, the maximum output power per slot is
500 W (with other modules it is 600 W). Hence, when a 12 V Maxi module is used,
the maximum output power is limited to 500 W. If a 12 V Mini module is used, the
maximum output power is limited to 250 W.
