1. Ensure that the new thyristor module is of the correct type
this manual).
2. Remove old heat conducting compound (grease) from the heat sink. Clean the

4. Spread the heat conducting compound evenly by moving the thyristor module
forward and backward on the heat sink.
5. Tighten all clamping screws by hand until the screw heads touch the bottom of
the thyristor module. Then tighten the screws to 2.0 Nm torque.
Note:
If the thyristor module is mounted by means of four screws, tighten the screws
crosswise.
6. Tighten the screws to nominal torque according to table
