BatMod current source modules are ideal for use with equipment that requires a controlled current output - such as battery chargers, metal platers, and laser diode arrays. They are compatible with all major battery types used in applications for vehicles such as golf carts, fork lifts, automated guided vehicles, and electric cars. Each module offers output currents up to 14.5 Amps and open circuit output voltages up to 66 Vdc.

Booster modules enable the designer to create systems for higher power applications, such as battery chargers, up to Kilowatt levels.

Input Voltage – 48 V
IAM - Input Attenuator Module - DC input, front-end module providing transient protection, inrush current limiting and EMI filtering for VI-200 and VI-J00 DC-DC converters.

Input Voltage – 150 V
AIM - AC Input Front-end Module - The AIM is an AC front-end module which interfaces directly with worldwide AC mains to provide line rectification, EMI filtering, transient protection, and inrush limiting.

Input Voltage – 300 V
AIM - AC Input Front-end Module - The AIM is an AC front-end module which interfaces directly with worldwide AC mains to provide line rectification, EMI filtering, transient protection, and inrush limiting.

IAM - Input Attenuator Module - DC input, front-end module providing transient protection, inrush current limiting and EMI filtering for VI-200 and VI-J00 DC-DC converters.

RAM - Ripple Attenuator Module - RAM may be connected to VI-200 or VI-J00 converters with output voltages from 5 – 50 Volts, to limit total output noise to less than 3 mV peak-to-peak at loads up to 20 Amps.

FARM - Filter / Autoranging Rectifier Module - The FARM is an AC front-end module which provides EMI filtering, autoranging line rectification and inrush current limiting.

ENMods - Modular AC Front-end System - The ENMods system combines EMI filtering with the FARM and MiniHAM modules creating an AC front end fully compliant with European norms for harmonic current limits, EMI and input transient immunity.

Off-line Front End - Vicor's family of off-line front ends interface any 300 Vin DC-DC converters or configurable products, to 100, 115, 230 or 240 Vac single-phase and 208 Vac three-phase mains.

High Boost HAM - AC Harmonic Attenuator Module - The HAM module is a full-wave rectifier with a high-frequency zero-current switching (ZCS) boost converter providing up to 675 Watts of power in a full-brick package.
