The Vicor VI-MA3-03 is an AC-DC front-end converter module engineered for high-efficiency power conversion in modular power systems. Built on the FlatPAC form factor, it accepts single-phase AC input and delivers isolated DC output suitable for integration with Vicor DC-DC converter modules and MegaMods. The unit provides galvanic isolation, AC fail warning capability, and dual status signals for system monitoring.

– Key Features
• Compact FlatPAC package enables high power density integration
• AC OK and BUS OK status signals for system-level monitoring and control
• Multiple input voltage configurations support global mains standards
• Galvanic isolation protects downstream DC-DC converter stages
• Industrial EMI compliance across single and three-phase applications
– Compatibility & Integration
The VI-MA3-03 pairs directly with Vicor VI-260 and VI-J60 series DC-DC converters, as well as MegaMods. Supports both chassis-mount and PC-mount installation. Additional VI-MA3 series modules enable system scalability across power and voltage requirements.
