SynQor® Releases an Advanced Military Field-Grade 4 kW / 5 kVA AC Changer (MAC-4000)

BOXBOROUGH, Mass., May 30, 2019 (Newswire.com) -  SynQor, Inc. announces the MAC-4000, a compact, military field-grade 3-phase to single-phase AC changer. This 4 kW / 5 kVA phase/frequency AC changer is designed for the extreme environmental and demanding electrical conditions of military/aerospace applications. SynQor​ incorporates in the MAC-4000 its field-proven, high-efficiency designs and rugged packaging technologies. The MAC-4000 accepts a 3-phase 440Vrms AC input and converts it to a well-conditioned, single-phase AC output using a two-stage isolated DC mid-bus topology. Options include a selection of output voltage (115 or 230 Vrms), output frequency (50, 60 or 400 Hz) and an electronic circuit breaker on the AC output that permits glitch-free, fault-tolerant parallel operation of up to 32 units in single-phase, split-phase and 3-phase configurations, as well as (N+M) redundancy. The MAC-4000 also has a floating output ground optional feature for air or sea crafts MIL-STD-1399-300B compliant applications that might require that feature.  In addition, MAC-4000 can also be equipped with an Ethernet-SNMP optional module that allows real-time remote system monitoring with trap/email.

In addition to facilitating the change of AC output characteristics from an established AC input source, the MAC-4000 also tackles the difficult problem of unbalance loads on 3-phase systems in aircraft and ships.  MIL-STD-1399-300B requires that all the phase currents be balanced to within ±5% for ships and ±3% for submarines. Achieving this high degree of the phase current balance with today’s single-phase electronic loads is now easy with the new SynQor AC Changer. The 3-phase MAC-4000 allows single-phase loads to appear at the power source as a clean, well-behaved, nearly zero reactance balanced MIL STD 1399-300B compliant 3-phase load.

The MAC-4000 product is unique in its class. It by outperforms other industry solutions, in terms of output power, efficiency, reliability, flexibility, low weight and small size. SynQor's U.S. products have a proven record not only of satisfying military specifications but going above and beyond specifications to deliver the most efficient and dependable solutions in the market.
