4. THE FR4 POWER UNIT (3-12 A)

4.1. Safety notice

Before analyzing/checking measurements, make sure that the unit or module being
repaired is disconnected from the power supply, unless it is required to be powered
up. Make sure any dangerously high voltage remaining in circuitry is discharged and
that there is no voltage source with life threatening potential. It is imperative to
ensure that the main supply is switched off and the main terminals and DC bus bars
are de-energized.

Also, make sure that the working environment is safe and will not cause personal
injury, damage to the unit, or to the environment. If repairs are being carried out in
the field, make sure that the supply voltage cannot be switched on during service, and
the action of the service personnel will not cause unnecessary disturbance or interrup-
tion to the process.

NOTE! BUS BARS, INTERNAL COMPONENTS AND CIRCUIT BOARDS ARE ALIVE AND CARRYING
MAINS POTENTIAL WHEN ANY VACON AC DRIVE IS CONNECTED TO A POWER SUPPLY. THIS
VOLTAGE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE DEATH OR SEVERE INJURY, IF ANYONE
COMES IN CONTACT WITH EXPOSED COMPONENTS.

4.2. Visual checkings and measurements before powering up the unit

4.2.1. Checking the cooling tunnel


• Remove the control unit from the power module to avoid damaging it.
• Open the back plate by lifting it upwards along its lower edge and then slide the
plate downwards to disengage it from the edge retainer.

NOTE! A BRAKE RESISTOR IS AVAILABLE AS AN INTERNAL AND AS AN EXTERNAL OPTION


FOR FRAME FR4 IN THE VOLTAGE CLASSES NX_2 AND NX_5.

If the unit has a brake chopper, it is located on the underside of the back plate, in
which case, the brake chopper leads must be disconnected before removing the back
plate.

When there is a brake chopper, the disassembly entails removing the power board
before the back plate is removed. See section 5.3. Power board.
• Clean the heat sink if necessary.

4.2.2. Checking the power board


• Remove the control unit from the power unit.
• Remove the I/O-cable cover and the I/O-wires.
• Remove the control unit's fixing screws from the lower corners and from under-
neath the panel.

SURED WITH THE TESTER, PUT 1.

• Attach the power unit-tester to the connector on the power unit.


• Connect a multimeter (selecting the VDC range) to the power unit tester PUT 1 to
take the measurements.
• Supply the power unit with a DC-voltage from a DC power supply. B- = DC- and B+
= DC+. Connect the power supply leads to B- or B+ and then apply a nominal volt-
age.
• Check all signals from the power unit and compare them to the values in Table 3
Power Unit Values for FR4.
• If any of these signals 24V, -15V, 15V, IU, IV or IW are different from the value in
Table 3, the power board must be replaced.
• If the TEMP-signal is different from the value in the table, check the temperature
sensor from the power module's contacts T+ and T-. See the instructions in section
5.5. Power module.
• The values for UC+ and UC- can be different, but the calculated value has to be
according to the value in table 2. If the value differs from the value in the table,
check the capacitors. See the instructions in section 5.4. Capacitors.

TOR IS IN THE MINUS POTENTIAL. WATCH IT
WHEN THE CONNECTORS ARE USED.

Replacing capacitors:
• Replace both capacitors even if only one is
broken.
• It is essential to make sure that polarity is
correct, by checking that the small arrow on
the side of the capacitor, is aligned with the
indicator mark on the frame. The arrows on
the capacitors will then point to 10 ò clock to
align with the raise metal indicator marks on
the unit housing, as shown in Figure 10.

power board, including the pressure plate that secures the power board to the heat
sink, which, at the same time, sandwiches the Skip power module securely between
power board and heat sink are then removed.

NOTE! THE PRESSURE PLATE SCREWS ARE TORQUE WRENCHED INTO PLACE, AND ARE
RATHER TIGHT TO LOOSEN.

• Measure the main circuit for the rectifier, brake chopper and IGBT.
• Measure the gate-emitter junction (capacitance and resistance) for the gate of the
brake chopper (gB) and for the gates of the IGBT (UL, VL, WL, UH, VH and WH).
• Use the same polarity for all gate-emitter measurements: the + lead at the gate
and the - lead at the emitter.
• If the gate-emitter measurements are correct. Measure the gate-collector junction.
They should all have the same values as the gate-emitter junction. See Table 5
MiniSkiip values in section 5.5.2. Replacement for the correct MiniSkiip values.
• Use the same polarity for all gate collector measurements: the + lead at the gate
and the - lead at the collector.
• Measure the resistance value between T+ and T-. Compare the measured value to
the value in Table 8. Temperature vs. resistance values in section 6.2. temperature
tables.

NOTE! THE CAPACITANCE VALUES SHOULD NOT DIFFER MORE THAN 20% BETWEEN THE
UPPER AND LOWER BRANCH. THE CAPACITANCE READING IS ROUGHLY HALF, IF THE POLAR-
ITY MEASUREMENT IS INCORRECT (THIS FEATURE COMES WITH FLUKE MULTIMETERS). THE
RESISTANCE VALUE FOR ALL GATE MEASUREMENTS SHOULD BE INFINITE.

5.5.2. Replacing the skiip power module


• Remember to use ESD protection at all times, when working with the electronic
components of any AC drive.
• Clean the contact surfaces on the power board.
• Always put a thin and even layer of thermal compound on the bottom of the Skiip
power module before installing it on the heat sink.
• It is recommended that 'Wacker-Chemie P12' thermal paste is used.
• Torque the the pressure plate in place, using the torque values specified in section 6
Torque specifications, Table 6. Torque specifications.
The pressure of the torque has been calculated to accommodated the properties of
the thermal paste. Therefore, the screws should not be tightened more after they
have been finally torqued down, as this will affect the density and thickness of the
layer of thermal paste, and detrimentally affect the pastes thermal qualities.

NOTE! THESE ARE TYPICAL THRESHOLD VOLTAGE AND CAPACITANCE VALUES AND ARE USED
AS GUIDE LINES ONLY, AS THEY ARE NOT ABSOLUTE VALUES.

5.7. The process of modifying a board

5.7.1. Tools
• A desoldering iron with an adjustable temperature control up to 350 ° C, including
twin soldering tips. The temperature increments of the desoldering iron should be
checked for accuracy.
• A magnifying glass to check the quality of the soldering joints.

5.7.2. Working process

NOTE! REMEMBER TO USE ESD-PROTECTION (WRIST-STRAP).

• Remove the resistors quickly (~2 sec.) and efficiently by using a desoldering iron
with twin soldering tips. An example of these types of desoldering irons is the
Weller WTA50 Thermal Tweezers.

FIGURE 20. Removing a component with a twin tip desoldering iron.

• Clean any solder from soldering joints and any solder splashes from the surround-
ing area.

5.7.3. Checkup instructions
