4kW MegaPAC

3 Phase MegaPAC

Overview

The 3 Phase MegaPAC and 4kW MegaPAC are field-configurable, single or multiple output switchers providing up to 2,000 W (3 Phase MegaPAC) to 4,000 W (4kW MegaPAC) of output power. The chassis has 10 slots and can provide up to 40 regulated, fully isolated outputs. It achieves power densities of 4.4 Watts per cubic inch (3 Phase MegaPAC) to 7.8 Watts (4kW MegaPAC) per cubic inch. The dimensions of the 3 Phase MegaPAC are 4.9"H x 7.5"W x 12.3"L (124,5 mm x 190,5 mm x 312,4 mm) and the dimensions of the 4kW MegaPAC are 4.9"H x 7.5"W x 14"L (124,5 mm x 190,5 mm x 355,6 mm). The 4kW MegaPAC is longer than the 3 Phase MegaPAC to

accommodate a 2nd fan.

A complete power supply is configured at the factory by selecting and inserting up to ten same length slide-in output assemblies called ConverterPACs. ConverterPACs incorporate one or two VI-200/VI-J00 and/or Maxi Vicor DC to DC converters and are available in a wide selection of outputs and power levels. The net result is a power supply that offers the advantages of a custom supply, but is assembled from standard and modular building blocks. For detailed information about ConverterPACS, refer to

the ConverterPAC information sheet. The 4kW MegaPAC uses VI-200/VI-J00 and Maxi Vicor DC to DC converters while the 3 Phase MegaPAC uses VI-200/VI-J00 Vicor

DC to DC converters.

Manufactured at Westcor, a division of Vicor, the entire family of MegaPAC power supplies is completely user-configurable. If output requirements change, i.e., more power or a different output voltage is needed, upgrading is easy: simply unlock a single screw and replace the slide-in ConverterPAC with one of the same length and has the desired voltage power rating. For additional flexibility, same length ConverterPACs can be connected in parallel to increase output power (booster ConverterPACs), or in series for higher voltages (total output voltage should not exceed 400V). The driver is to the left of the boosters when looking at the output end of the supply. A user-friendly

interface provides control and output sequencing capability, in addition to useful status indicators. Please consult our Applications Engineering Department if you have other special requirements.

Mechanical Considerations

The 3 Phase MegaPAC and 4kW MegaPAC can be mounted on any of four surfaces using standard 8-32 or 4 mm screws. The chassis comes with four mounting points on each surface; maximum allowable torque is 20 lb-in.

The maximum penetration is 0.15 in. (3,8 mm).

When selecting a mounting location and orientation, the unit should be positioned so air flow is not restricted. Maintain a 2" minimum clearance at both ends of the 3 Phase MegaPAC and 4kW MegaPAC and route all cables so airflow is not obstructed. The standard unit draws air in at the fan side/AC input side and exhausts air out the load side. If airflow ducting is used, use caution, as sharp turns could present back pressure to the 3 Phase MegaPAC and 4kW MegaPAC. The fans move approximately 50 CFM of air for the 4kW MegaPAC and 30 CFM for the 3 Phase MegaPAC. The 4kW MegaPAC has a second fan for additional cooling capabilities.

Avoid excessive bending of output power cables after they are connected to the 4kW MegaPAC or 3 Phase MegaPAC. For high-current outputs, use cable ties to support heavy cables in order to minimize mechanical stress on output studs. Be careful not to shortout to neighboring output studs. The 3 Phase MegaPAC and 4kW MegaPAC is supplied with serrated, flanged hex-nuts on all output studs, so thread locking compounds or lock washers are not required. The maximum torque recommended on flanged nuts is 45 lbin. Never loosen the inner nut on a ConverterPAC. This nut supports the hardware inside the ConverterPAC and is factory torqued.

Avoid applications in which the unit is exposed to excessive shock or vibration levels. In such applications, a shock absorption mounting design is required.

MegaPAC Do’s and Don’ts

nFor units without Autosense, do not leave ConverterPAC Sense lines open. Always terminate them at their respective outputs locally or at the load. Use twisted pair 22-24 AWG wire. If ConverterPAC has Autosense, no local sense connection is required. See page 13 and 17 for more information on Autosense.

nIf needed, use Connector Kit # 19-130041 for the 3 Phase/4kW MegaPACs.

nAlways fill all output slots of the MegaPAC. If a slot is not filled with a ConverterPAC, it should be filled with an airblock. Airblocks are plastic assemblies whose main function is to fill up an empty slot. Any airflow escape from an empty slot, significantly degrade thermal performance can result in overheating and damage to the power supply.

nDo not unplug ConverterPACs while input power is applied. They are not designed for hot-plug applications.

nDo not restrict airflow to the unit. Leave 2 inch minimum space in front and behind the supply. The cooling fan draws air into the unit and forces it out at the output power terminals.

nFor power expansion, use booster ConverterPACs. Viewing the unit from the output terminal side, always insert boosters to the right side of the driver.

nDo not use boosters as independent outputs. Disconnecting bus bars will damage booster ConverterPACs.

nAlways ensure that output hex-nuts arer properly torqued before applying power to supply.

nFor booster arrays, do not remove busbars.

nRun the output (+/–) power cables next to each other to minimize inductance.

nWait 5 minutes after shutting off power before inserting or removing ConverterPACs.

nThe MegaPACs does not have user serviceable components. They must be returned to the factory for repairs. Contact Customer Service for a RMA number before returning the unit. Do not attempt to repair or modify the power supply in any manner other than the exchange of ConverterPACs as described in this User Guide.

nInsert proper fault protection at power supply input terminals (i.e., a fuse).

nUse proper size wires to avoid overheating and excessive voltage drop.

nNever loosen the inner nut on a ConverterPAC.

nVerify output nuts are tight before powering up.

nOnly use the regular length ConverterPACs in the 3 Phase/4kW MegaPAC chassis. You cannot use any of the Extended Length ConverterPACS which are only used in the EL (Low Noise) products.

nKeep in mind that currently, the UniPAC ConverterPAC can only be used in the 4kW MegaPAC.

3 Phase MegaPAC and 4kW MegaPAC Architectures

Technical Description

The 3 Phase MegaPAC and 4kW MegaPAC are configured by installing same length ConverterPAC assemblies into the chassis. The chassis takes AC input power and performs filtering and rectification functions. The ConverterPACs plug into a highvoltage backplane and provide low-noise, independently regulated and fully isolated outputs.

Input AC mains voltage (L1, L2, L3 and GND) is applied to an agency approved mating plug. The input current is passed through an EMI filter designed to meet EN 55022 Level A before it is passed to a three-phase full-wave bridge rectifier. The rectifier charges storage capacitors and delivers unregulated 300 Vdc to a backplane after passing through a large choke that improves input power factor. The power factor typically exceeds 0.9 depending upon load, line voltage, frequency and line balance. Inrush current is actively controlled with an IGBT and never exceeds 30A peak regardless of hot or cold starts.

A housekeeping supply, isolated from the AC input, powers the brushless DC cooling fan and other input monitoring circuits, in addition to providing an auxiliary +5V power source for the user. The 4kW MEGAPAC HAS A SECOND FAN FOR EXTRA COOLING. Excessive input currents caused by loss of a phase or excessive output loading in single phase operation will safely shut down the unit until input power is recycled. This occurs when the peak input current reaches 30A . An analog temperature monitor is provided, as well as overtemperature shutdown. An active-high TTL compatible Enable control is included for each ConverterPAC assembly, as well as an active-low General Shutdown control; the polarities, active-high or active-low, are factory set. The 3 Phase MegaPAC and 4kW MegaPAC can be safely paralleled (with another of its own kind) with accurate current sharing for high power systems. All interface signals are safety isolated using a common floating return.

Upon power-up, all outputs are first disabled to limit the inrush current, and to allow the unregulated bus to reach correct operating levels for ConverterPAC assemblies. The internal housekeeping supply comes up within 500 ms after input power is applied, and the AC Power OK signal asserts to a TTL "1," indicating the input power is OK. The low voltage power outputs come up within 10-20 ms after the AC Power OK asserts to a TTL "1." Output ramp-up time from Enable or General Shutdown is 10-20 ms. Output fall time from Disable is dependent on load, but is typically a few hundred microseconds.

Paralleling ConverterPACs

Configuring and Reconfiguring MegaPACs

Most ConverterPACs of the same length can be easily added, replaced, or moved by sliding the assemblies in or out of a MegaPAC chassis. They are driver ConverterPACs and can be inserted into any available slot. For outputs greater than 200 Watts, a driver ConverterPAC and one or more booster ConverterPACs will be used. For outputs greater than 500 Watts (in the 4kW MegaPAC), a driver UniPAC and one or more booster UniPACs will be used. Arrays of drivers and boosters should be configured so all boosters are placed in the slots to the immediate right of the driver when looking at the output end of the MegaPAC.

Prior to removing or installing ConverterPACs, you must remove power from the MegaPAC and wait 5 minutes. Failure to do so can result in personal injury or damage to the supply.

Take standard ESD precautions when handling ConverterPACs.

Removing ConverterPACs

ConverterPACs can be removed by loosening the captive screw at the base. Once this screw has been loosened, the ConverterPAC will slide out of the chassis. Once a ConverterPAC has been removed, the empty slot MUST be filled with either another ConverterPAC of the same length or an airblock. If the slot is left empty, it will provide an airflow escape and cause failure to the power supply.

Installing ConverterPACs as Drivers

ConverterPACs can be installed in empty slots by simply sliding in the new ConverterPAC and securing the screw at the base. Power and interface connections can be made after the ConverterPAC has been installed.

Installing Booster ConverterPACs to Increase Output Power

ConverterPACs can be paralleled for more power. Additional power to an output is obtained by connecting one or more boosters in parallel with a single driver. The driver can be placed in any open slot. All boosters should be inserted in the slots to the immediate right of the driver, as viewed from the output end of the MegaPAC. Figure 2 shows a driver placed in slots #1 and 3 boosters placed in slots # 2 to 4. After inserting the driver and boosters, they are paralleled using bus bars across the positive and negative output studs. Drivers should not be paralleled with each other. Bus bars between a driver and booster(s) should never be disconnected. For help in identifying boosters and drivers, refer to the Part Numbering section on page 10. Please note that

total output voltage should not exceed the converter baseplate-output isolation rating of 400V. For detailed guideline on how outputs should be placed in series, please refer to the Applications note available on the website at www.vicorpower.com.
