Low-profile front end meets military standards

Available now from Vicor, the 1RU high-power-density PFC FrontEnd is designed for use with various power modules. The ultra-low-profile fan-cooled power-factor-corrected AC/DC front end operates from a wide range 85-264V AC input, providing 375V out with a power density of over 28W/in3. Measuring just 162.6 x 177.8 x 43.2mm, the PFC FrontEnd provides power outputs of 1100W at 115V AC or 2200W at 230V AC through four nonisolated outputs.

It also offers unprecedented control and signalling flexibility, supplying AC OK, power OK, temperature failure warning, and four discrete, isolated enable/disable lines for block control.

Compact and rugged, the PFC FrontEnd meets MIL-STD-810E for vibration.

It also has worldwide safety agency approvals from CE and cTUVus.
