FORM: OM-182 878A

Use above FORM number when ordering extra manuals.

WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill; SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE exists after removal of input power. STATIC ELECTRICITY can damage parts on circuit boards.

Do not touch live electrical parts. Turn Off welding power source, wait 60 seconds, measure voltage on input capacitors according to Technical Manual, and be sure voltage is near zero before making or changing meter lead connections and before touching any parts.

Put on grounded wrist strap BEFORE handling boards or parts. Use proper static-proof bags.

Have only qualified persons familiar with and following standard safety practices perform troubleshooting procedures. smwarn2.5 10/93

1-2. IGBT Power Module Testing Procedure

Step 1. Check IGBT module for cracks in side of case or a separation of case from its base plate. Replace any damaged part. Step 2. Mark and disconnect leads from C1, C2/E1, and E2 terminals. Red Step 3. Disconnect gate lead plug from circuit board. Yellow Step 4. Hook up ALL tester leads to perform Test 1. LED On = Shorted; replace part Step 5. Press button. LED Off = Fails test; replace part G2 (B2) Test 2 E2 Black C2 Red Yellow LED On = Passes test Step 6. Test 2. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for
