    ▪ Connections between the AC output cable and the AC load should not be accessible. Hazardous Energies The INPUT AND OUTPUT POWER connectors and cables of the SynQor MINV may be the source of high levels of energy. Do not inappropriately make electrical contact between any terminal of a connector and another, or between any wire of a cable and another, or between any terminal or wire and the MINV’s chassis or ground.
  • Page 5: Protection From The Environment

    Warnings Protection from the Environment The SynQor MINV is a ruggedly built product having its electronics contained in a sealed chamber. It is capable of withstanding harsh levels of mechanical acceleration, shock and vibration, temperature and pressure variations, and exposure to water, salt, sand and dust within the levels specified in the data sheet.

    4000 W, AC output to the load. It is designed and manufactured in SynQor’s USA facilities to comply with a wide range of military standards. Options include a selection of output voltage amplitudes, frequencies, and an electronic breaker on the AC output to permit fault-tolerant parallel operation for higher power and/or N+M redundant systems.
  • Page 7: Product Topology

    General Product Information Product Topology The SynQor MINV-4000 Series products use an isolated topology that provides protection to the load from spikes, noise, surges, brownouts, blackouts, etc. in the input power sources. They also provide smoothing of load transients and nonlinear load profiles so that the input power source is not subjected to these disturbances.

    Cooling System The SynQor MINV-4000 Series products are cooled by dual counter-rotating fans that draw air into the intake on the front panel and exhaust it out the two fan ports on the rear panel. Care should be taken to ensure there is no obstruction to this airflow, either at the front intake or the rear exhaust ports.
