Half-brick PFC module

13 November 2013 Power Electronics / Power Management

SynQor’s new PFCQor module is a power factor correction (PFC) building block for AC-DC power conversion. When used with SynQor’s AC line filter, a hold-up capacitor and SynQor’s high-efficiency DC-DC converters, it draws a nearly perfect sinusoidal current (PF>0,99) from a single-phase AC input and provides a complete front-end system that complies with EN55011, EN55022, EN61000 and FCC regulations.

The PFCU390HPC delivers 700 W of output power in an industry standard half-brick package while achieving efficiency as high as 96%. It accepts a universal input in the 85 – 264 Vrms range and operates in both the 45 – 65 Hz and 360 – 800 Hz frequency ranges.

Offered in a fully encased and ruggedised package, the module can operate from -40°C to +100°C on its baseplate and is perfectly suited for harsh environments seen in many industrial and transportation applications that demand a low profile and extended temperature operation in a small space.

The PFCU390HPC provides serial control inputs and outputs such as load enable, clock synchronisation, output current monitoring and active current sharing for higher power requirements. Protection features include input under/over-voltage protection, output over-voltage protection, output current limit and thermal shutdown.
