Fusing. The FlatPAC’s internal fuses are not user-replaceable. Please return the

unit to vendor if servicing is necessary.

Grounding. For safe operation, the FlatPAC unit must be grounded. Connect a

ground lead to the terminal marked

(GND). Use the same wire gauge as that

specified for your FlatPAC unit’s input voltage connections, below.

Input Voltage Connections. Connect the line voltage to L1 (hot) and L2N

(neutral). For one-up FlatPAC models (max. output 200 W), use #16 input wire; for

two-up and three-up models (max. output 400 W and 600 W), use #14 input wire.

Recommended connector screw torque is 5 to 7 in-lbs (0.5 to 0.8 N-m). Use your

FlatPAC model only with the corresponding input voltages and frequencies shown

in the table below. Either connect or do not connect ST1 to ST2 as indicated.

Output Wire Gauge. Use the output wire gauge that corresponds to the output

current of your FlatPAC unit, below:

105 A–160 A : #4

26 A–40 A : #10

7 A–10 A : #16

66 A–104 A : #6

16 A–25 A : #12

4 A–6 A : #18

41 A–65 A : #8

11 A–15 A : #14

0 A–3 A : #20

Output Voltage Trimming. Do not trim the outputs higher than 110% of their

nominal output voltage. When an output is trimmed up, do not exceed its

maximum rated output power.

Operating Temperature. Do not allow the FlatPAC to exceed its maximum

operating temperature, which is reached when the heat sink is 85°C. (Full power

can be delivered up to this temperature.) Heat sink temperature is a function of the

output power and voltage of the supply, ambient temperature, and airflow across

the heat sink. Refer to the Vicor Applications Manual to determine the maximum

ambient temperature for your application. Always use worst-case conditions when

calculating operating temperature. Note: To ensure proper heat transfer from the

internal module(s) to the heat sink, the mounting holes through the heat sink (2, 3,

and 4 holes on one-, two-, and three-up models, respectively) must contain

torqued screws at all times during operation, whether or not the unit is mounted.
