- Remove old thermal joint compound (grease) from the heat sink.
Preparation of the heat sink: if the area is clean, spread out the
heat-conducting compound with a rubber spatula or by hand. If
the area is dirty, clean the heat sink surface with tissue paper.
Clean the mounting surfaces with an appropriate solvent (e.g.
ethanol).
- Apply a thin coat of thermal joint compound to the new module.
Spread the thermal joint compound evenly by moving the mod-
ule forward and backward on the heat sink.
- Tighten the clamping screws by hand until the screw heads
touch the bottom of the module. Then tighten the screws to 2.5
Nm torque. If the module is mounted using four screws, tighten
the screws crosswise.
- Tighten the screws to nominal torque (see Table below).
- Reinstall the busbars; make sure, the correct torque is applied
and reconnect all cables.
