MPC while the MPC is operating. No User Serviceable Parts The SynQor MPC has no user serviceable parts inside of it. DO NOT REMOVE the cover of the MPC or any of its connectors. Only factory trained personnel should perform repairs. -
Page 6: General Product Information
Front panel LEDs and an audible alarm provide information on the status of the MPC. The MPC-1500 Series products can draw power from an AC input having a wide range of voltage and frequency levels, or from an optional 28 V nominal DC input. The AC input has priority over the DC input. -
Page 7: Product Topology
General Product Information Product Topology The SynQor MPC-1500 Series products use a true on-line double conversion 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 sources are not subjected to these disturbances. - Page 8 MPC. There is a communication/control port that provides a digital interface to a host computer system.

Total Output Power that can be derived from the AC INPUT The total MPC output power (the AC OUTPUT power plus the optional DC OUTPUT power) for the MPC-1500 series is rated at 1250 W for an ambient temperature as high as 55 C (131 F). - Page 15 AC INPUT would be 1125 W at an AC INPUT voltage of 90 Vrms and an ambient temperature of 50 C (122 F). A higher output power than this would cause the MPC to switch over to its DC INPUT. 006-0006452 MPC-1500 Operator Guide Rev P 15 of 48 03/03/2021 www.synqor.com...

Page 18: Power Cable Wire Size
While this is an issue for all of the power cables, it is particularly important for the DC INPUT and DC2 Output cables because the current flowing through it is very high (as high as 65 A for the MPC-1500 Series) and the voltage across it is already relatively small (as low as 22 V). In fact, a common problem that arises (when the DC INPUT cable has too small a wire) is that the voltage seen at the DC INPUT of the MPC falls below the minimum specified value of 22 V even though the voltage at the source of the DC power is greater than 22 V. -

Page 21: Cooling System
Operation Cooling System The SynQor MPC-1500 Series products are cooled by fans that draw air into the intake below 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. -
