Page 4: Hazardous Voltages
Warnings Hazardous Voltages The INPUT AND OUTPUT POWER connectors and cables of the SynQor MPC may have voltages that are unsafe. INJURY OR DEATH ON CONTACT may result. Appropriate safety precautions should be taken. All connections should be made in accordance with LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. -

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
A communication/control port is available to permit monitoring and control by a host computer system. The MPC-3000 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-3000 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 12: Mpc Efficiency
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-3000 series is rated at 2500 W for an ambient temperature as high as 55 C (131 F). - Page 13 AC INPUT would be 2250 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. 006-0006856 MPC-3000 Operator Guide Rev J 13 of 48 04/01/2025 www.synqor.com...

While this is an issue for all of the power cables, it is particularly important for the DC Input, DC1 Output and DC2 Output cables because the current flowing through it is very high (as high as 130 A for the MPC-3000 Series) and the voltage across it is already relatively small (as low as 22 V). -

Note: Be careful to not toggle the ON/OFF switch during the setup. Doing so could cause the MPC to turn on and present a hazardous voltage at its output. 006-0006856 MPC-3000 Operator Guide Rev J 18 of 48 04/01/2025 www.synqor.com... -

MPC. However, the SynQor MPC is capable of having any of its input or output power cables connected at any time (if safely done), including when the MPC is turned on and delivering power to the load. -
Page 21: Cooling System
Operation Cooling System The SynQor MPC-3000 Series products are cooled by fans that draw air into the intake below the front panel and exhaust it out the four 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. -

For example, it is conceivable that DCOUT1A and DCOUT1B load currents differ significantly, resulting in different reflected loads on the front panel, temperature, etc. 006-0006856 MPC-3000 Operator Guide Rev J 22 of 48 04/01/2025 www.synqor.com... - Page 23 MPC is On but the Output Voltage is Amber Out of Range MPC is Off and the Output Voltage is Within Range MPC is Off (Or the DC Output Option is not Installed) 006-0006856 MPC-3000 Operator Guide Rev J 23 of 48 04/01/2025 www.synqor.com...

- Page 47 The solution to this problem is to make sure that the cable has wires of sufficient diameter, or “gauge” for the length of the cable. The longer the cable, the bigger diameter the wire should have.
