6. Main Circuit Test Procedure This test procedure must be performed before replacing a servopack. Test Procedure Checklist Completed Check RSTUVW on the terminal block. Check the regen (regenerative) transistor. Check the diode bridge # 1. Check the diode bridge # 2. Check the braking transistor.
8. Power the power OFF. 9. If breaker is tripped, do not reset and power on, check terminals. Breaker WWW.REDRIVE.ZOOVY.COM 10. If breaker is blackened (burnt), need to replace servopack and check contactor (power supply to the servopack), it may need to be replaced too.
Note: Measured values (excluding 0L) vary with the power rating of the servo. Check for consistency. 12. Remove all wires from bottom of terminal strip (R-W) 13.

Regen Transistor When the servomotor is turned off, there is still a voltage present across the main bus of the servo. The regen transistor acts as a switch with closes when the servo is turned off to allow this voltage through to the Y3 and Y4 terminals.
Diode Bridge #1 The diode bridge #1 is a component in the braking circuit. When the servomotor is turned off, the continued spinning of the motor generates a voltage across U, V, and W. The diode bridge directs the current from this voltage to the braking resistor to be dissipated.
Page 13
Diode Bridge #2 Diode bridges are used to rectify voltage wave patterns. In this case, the input voltage is the three phase AC voltage RST. In order for this voltage to be useful to the PTM, it must first be converted to a DC voltage pattern.

Braking Transistor The braking transistor is actually a triac. A triac acts like a diode except that it can conduct in both directions. The braking transistor rectifies and provides a return path through the braking resistor for the UVW voltage from Diode Bridge #1.

. Resistor Module The braking resistor is primarily used to dissipate the current created by the voltage which is generated by the spinning servomotor after the servo has been shut off. Usually this resistor needs to be replaced if it is cracked or physically damaged in a similar way.

Thyristor Module The Thyristor module is composed of both diodes and silicon-controlled rectifiers. The Thyristor is the main component which contributes to the conversion of the AC input voltage to the DC voltage used to power the servomotor.

Cooling Fan Only the SB 60 and BB 20+ units have a cooling fan that blows air across the heat sink on the back of the unit. If the cooling fan is not working properly, the servo will trip on an overheat fault. Visually check the cooling fan to make sure it turns freely.
