3 INTRODUCTION TO THE AC08 AND AC12
The
AC08 and AC12 are high performance Yacht Power Converters that use dual-conversion
technology. The systems will accept any single phase input service with a frequency between 40-70
Hertz, and a voltage between 170-520VAC. The output power form has been programmed at the
factory for the power form, voltage, and frequency required by your yacht. Variable fan speed
control has been provided (fan speed tied to output current level).
Dual-conversion technology is the preferred technique for AC power conversion, and was chosen for
these converters. In this technology, the shore power service is isolated by transformers then
converted to DC power by a Power Factor Correction (PFC) power supply. The output inverters
then convert the DC power back to the AC form (both voltage and frequency) required by the yacht.
Being systems designed from the ground up specifically for the yachting industry, all efforts have
been made to produce a system capable of sustaining the marine environment. All system
components are packaged in one drip-proof, dust-resistant aluminum and stainless steel enclosure.
Major components are internally modular, allowing a simple exchange in the unlikely event of
failure. Complete maintenance and service can be provided with only front access to the system.
