Find faulty thyristor
DCS 500 / DCS 600 Service Manual
1. Find the defective branches by performing an OHM test (both
polarities) between U1, V1, W1 and C1, D1
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 with BCT's change the BCT.
5. In a 4 - quadrant converter with 2 single thyristors change both
thyristors clamped between 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.
