Features
Optional current share (see overview)
Onboard fusing
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 should not be left open. VIPAC
Arrays 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.
Wire Routing
Avoid routing wires over the VIPAC Array Power System.
Do not bundle Input and Output leads together.
Parallel Outputs
The VIPAC Array 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 Connections)
VIPAC Arrays are ideal for use in distributed and modular power systems where power
density and reliable operation are critical. A current share option is available on single
module configurations enabling Arrays of identical output voltage and current ratings to
be used in applications requiring either redundant operation or kilowatts of power.
The 300 and 375 Vdc input versions can be coupled to a bulk AC Front-end to create a
modular, scalable power supply serving a variety of power architectures from centralized
to distributed. VIPAC Arrays include internal fusing, a global enable/disable function and
connectorized input and output terminations to speed system installation while a
versatile coldplate chassis simplifies thermal management and mounting.
