1. Find the defective branches by performing an OHM test (both
polarities) between U1, V1, W1 and C1, D1 (see figure 5-1)

2. Disconnect the branch fuses of the defective branches.
3. Find the defective thyristors by performing an OHM test (both
polarities) over their heat sinks.
4. In a 4-quadrant converter change both thyristors clamped be-
tween the same heatsinks at once.
Note: Because "Disc Type" semiconductors need a certain
compression force to operate properly a measurement outside
the clamped heat sinks might be wrong. To be sure change only
one thyristor, clamp the heat sinks again and repeat step three.
