3 INTRODUCTION TO THE AC36Q AND AC45Q
Each model is a high performance Yacht Power Converter utilizing dual-conversion technology.
The systems will accept any single or three phase input service with a frequency between 40-70
Hertz, and a voltage between 170-520VAC. Input service may consist of one single phase or one
three phase shore voltage; the converter will auto-configure for the applied power form.
The output power form has been programmed at the factory for the power form (single or three
phase), voltage and frequency, required by your yacht.
Dual-conversion technology is the preferred technique for AC power conversion, and was
chosen for these systems. In this technology, the shore power service is isolated by transformers
then converted to DC power by the Power Factor Correction (PFC) power supplies. The output
inverters then convert the DC power back to the required AC form (both voltage and frequency)
required by the yacht.
