Operating principal Minarc power sources are ”dual-Forward”-inverter power sources, controlled by PWM method. The switching components are IGBT-transistors. Inverter operating frequency is approx. 80 kHz. Below is a picture of the ”dual-forward”-inverter operating principal: n. + 320 V 13µs When IGBT-transistors V1 and V2 are not conductive, no power is transferred. The power is adjusted by changing the IGBT-transistors conductive timings (PWM).

IGBT-transistors testing Discrete-IGBT (50 A, 600 V) can be tested with the IGBT-tester. When replacing damaged IGBT-transistors the whole set must be always replaced. The gate resistors (10Ω) must be checked and replaced if necessary. Spare part IGBT set 4297750. Discrete-IGBT tightening torque to the heatsink is 0,6…1,2 Nm! B1/4 Testing the secondary diodes...
Service infos 02 / 2002 Minus pole insulator Power sources Minarc 110 & 140 Modification An insulator 9771963 is added to the minus-pole. See the attached picture. Reason for midification Secondary choke may cause a short circuit between plus- and minus-poles. This is prevented by installing the inslulator 9771963 to the minus-pole.

Service infos 03 / 2002 IGBT gate resistors and intermediate circuit charging relay Power sources Minarc 110 & 140 Modification IGBT gate resistors (10 ohm.) have been added to the spare part set (4297750). Reason for modification If the IGBTs are damaged, also the gate resistors (R2, R4, R5, R6, R7 and R8) may be damaged. For example if one resistor has been destroyed, then the IGBT doesn´t get gate control and this causes overload to the other IGBTs.
