MAINTENANCE Troubleshoot the Hypertherm IGBT tester 1. Inspect the leads and the IGBT tester for damage. 2. Verify that the battery voltage is greater than 8V. 3. Test the IGBT Tester, itself, as shown below. If the results do not match the table, replace the lead connections.
MAINTENANCE IGBT device test using non-Hypertherm tester The device tester shown in Schematic for building an IGBT tester has one LED and one pushbutton switch that are used in combination to perform two tests. 1. Visually inspect the IGBT for cracks or black marks. If damaged, replace the IGBT.
