ACPL-337J Reference Manual
Chapter 5: Setup
WARNING!
The EB600-337J board is designed to work with up to 300V and thus requires that all safety precautions and
national accident prevention rules must be undertaken and observed by skilled technical personnel, related to
a board installation, use, and maintenance. There is a danger of serious injury and damage of property if the
board is improperly used or installed. It is strongly recommended that a system aimed to supply the evaluation
board is equipped with control and protection devices, in agreement with the applicable safety standards.
5.1 Installation of the EB600-337J
Before evaluating the board, perform these installation steps:
1. Before any installation, make a visual inspection of the board to make sure it contains all components assembled except
the PIM module. See
assembled PIM module to avoid damage of the module and the evaluation board during transport, as well as to provide
the customer an option to use other modules with the same footprint.
2. Ground the board. Connect the –DC_BUS terminal to earth potential.
3. Connect the signal connector. The PWM signals as well as the ACPL-337J output fault signals can be connected to any
control board with 5V/3.3V logic.
4. Connect a 24V external power supply. The EB600-337J requests a 24V external power supply to enable 5V digital
operations and a ±15V gate driver high-voltage side power supply. Although the polarity is marked, the board is reverse
protected regarding the 24V external.
5. Turn on power to the board by performing these steps:
– Case 1, with DC voltage:
a. Connect the DC power supply on terminals +DC_BUS and –DC_BUS.
– Case 2, with three-phase AC voltage:
a. Use terminals N_REC and –DC_BUS to connect the external pre-charge circuit.
NOTE:
Precautions: Due to technical requirements, the evaluation board does not comprise a pre-charge circuit that
enables soft DC bus charging. In the case that the three-phase autotransformer is not used, an external pre-charge
circuit must be installed to avoid DC bus capacitor failure, which would cause injury and damage to property.
b. Use terminals L1, L2, and L3 to connect the three-phase AC power supply.
ATTENTION: The maximum allowed input AC voltage is 240V.
5.2 Evaluation of the EB600-337J
The EB600-337J enables users to evaluate the following items:
ACPL-337J driver features
ACPL-C87A voltage sensor features
Switching characteristics of the semiconductors within the PIM module
Inverter basic features
To evaluate semiconductor switching characteristics with the EB600-337J, perform a double pulse test, and measure the
transients related to the semiconductor and the ACPL-337J driver circuit.
