Section II General Product Information Product Description SynQor’s Military 3-Phase AC to DC Power Units are designed for the extreme environmental and demanding electrical conditions of Military/Aerospace applications. SynQor’s MPPS-4000-270 units incorporate field proven high efficiency designs and rugged packaging technologies. The MPPS-4000-270 will accept an AC 3-Phase Input with a voltage and frequency range of 360-528 Vrms (line to line) and 47-65 Hz. The unit will deliver a tightly regulated, programmable DC output to the load.

Section II General Product Information Product Topology The SynQor MPPS-4000-270 Series products use an isolated topology that provides protection to the load from spikes, noise, surges, brownouts, blackouts, etc. in the input power source. They also provide smoothing of load transients and nonlinear load profiles so that the input power source is not subjected to these disturbances. EMI filters are present at all MPPS external inputs and outputs.

4500 W when set to 200 V, 22.5 A. If the output voltage is set to 400 V, the MPPS will automatically scale back the current to 11.25 A so as not to exceed 4500 W. To set the voltage through the web page, navigate to the control page. Under “Configuration”, enter the desired output voltage in volts and the desired current limit in amps. Click update to apply the changes. These values are stored in non-volatile memory, and do not need to be reentered after the MPPS-4000-270 is power cycled. 006-0007309 03/19/2024 Rev A 12 of 37 MPPS-4000-270 Guide www.synqor.com...

To set the voltage through the RS-232 interface, configure the RS-232 terminal with 115.2 k baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and one stop bit. Using a third party terminal application such as HyperTerminal, send the following commands: SET ILIM x [mA] SET VNOM x [V] Example: Set Vout to 200 V, ILim to 15 A. SynQor>SET VNOM 200 Flash Updated. SynQor>SET ILIM 15000 Flash Updated. Note that after each command the system will return “Flash Updated”. This indicates that the values have been stored in non-volatile memory, and do not need to be reentered when the MPPS-4000 is power cycled.

Either Vout- or Vout+ can be connected to chassis ground. Internal protection devices clamp the output to within ±1000 V of chassis ground. For margin, the output must not be grounded to another source that sees more than ±300 V with respect to chassis ground. As an example, Vout- should not be tied to the AC line of a grounded AC system. 006-0007309 03/19/2024 Rev A 24 of 37 MPPS-4000-270 Guide www.synqor.com...

The interface supports auto-negotiation, polarity correction, and Auto-MDIX (detection and use of straight through or cross-over cables). IP address assignment can be configured to be acquired by the unit automatically via DHCP or set up through a static address entry via the web interface. The Ethernet interface also provides a local DHCP server that allows direct MPPS to host computer connections.

Maintenance Fans The fans on the rear panel have sealed bearings that do not require any regular maintenance. Fan assemblies are user replaceable with kits available from SynQor. Please contact the SynQor factory for obtaining fan replacement kits. Cleaning The MPPS Unit has a sealed chamber for its electronics that is weather-proof. Only the fans on the rear panel are exposed to the environment, and these fans are also weather-proof.

Section VII Trouble-Shooting Guide Fault Conditions The SynQor MPPS has no user-serviceable parts within it other than the cooling fans. If the unit has an internal malfunction only factory trained personnel should attempt to repair it. There are, however, several external conditions that could cause the MPPS to not operate as desired. These external conditions can likely be corrected by the user. The 16 LEDs on the front panel are the best and first place to look to determine what might be wrong with the Unit. The table on the next several pages is therefore organized by what these LEDs indicate, and for each indication there is a listing of what might possibly be wrong.

• To reset, the Unit OUTPUT must be turned “OFF” and then “ON”. • One or more fans have encountered a fault or degraded performance. Four tones • The Unit may still operate with degraded fan performance, but should be serviced soon. Ensure the fan blades are not obstructed. 006-0007309 03/19/2024 Rev A 32 of 37 MPPS-4000-270 Guide www.synqor.com...

MPPS’s DC OUTPUT to be triggered, which in turn causes the output voltage to drop. The drop could cause the existing loads to be disturbed. Furthermore, if the voltage drops is far enough below the rated limit, the MPPS will turn “OFF” its DC OUTPUT and initiate a new start-up sequence. This latter action could cause an interruption of existing running loads. If this disruption in the loads is a problem, then the solution is to make sure that loads with large startup surges are started first, and then proceed to start the rest of the loads. 006-0007309 03/19/2024 Rev A 34 of 37 MPPS-4000-270 Guide www.synqor.com...

MPPS may determine that the AC INPUT is out of range and proceed to shut down. After this occurs, no current is being drawn through the input cables and terminals once again, the MPPS detects that the AC INPUT voltage is back to normal, and begins the startup sequence once again after a 1 second delay. The cycle will continue to repeat over and over, until voltage drop in the input circuit is corrected. The following are possible solutions to this problem: 1) make sure that the cable diameter for the required length is sufficient to deliver the full amperage to the MPPS unit, 2) tighten the distribution panel/breaker terminals or 3) clean any contamination or corrosion buildup on all terminals and connectors. 006-0007309 03/19/2024 Rev A 35 of 37 MPPS-4000-270 Guide www.synqor.com...
