AP1 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Circuit board AP1 is the mother board in the power section of the power unit. The
components of the power section are mounted on a cast heat sink.
If the IGBT modules, circuit board AP1 and/or circuit board AP2 are replaced, the gate
pulses must be checked and the machine must be soft--started: see pages 26 and 32.
AP1:1 THE MAINS POWER UNIT
The mains voltage is rectified by rectifier VC1. Primary inductor L1
improves the power factor and increases resistance to mains--borne
transients.
Smoothing condensers C12 -- C15 charge up through r esistors R3 and R4
when the power is turned on. The two resistors are short--circuited by
thyristor TY1 (V2) about 1.2 seconds after starting. If the thyristor fails to
do this, the two resistors could be burnt out when load was applied to the
machine. Their ratings are 12Ω 10 W each and their ordering number is:
0193 775 114.
Resistors R5 and R9 form a potential divider / discharge resistor for
capacitors C12 -- C15.
See page 15 for instructions on fitting VC1 and TY1 (V2).
AP1:2 CAPACITIVE POTENTIAL DIVIDER
Capacitors C1 and C2 f orm a capacitive potential divider for the centre
point to which the main transformer is connected. Resistors R1 and R2 are
discharge / potential divider resistors.
AP1:3 MAIN TRANSFORMER
The transformer is strip--wound, with four primary tur ns and 1 + 1
secondary turns.
Its core has an air gap of about 0.13 mm, which is of key importance for
operation of the entire inverter. It must not be reduced or eliminated.
Two ferrite ri ngs, L3, are fitted to the conductors connected to the primary
winding. Their purpose is to attenuate current transients arising from
operation of the IGBT transistors.

clud0de1
AP1:4 IGBT
The switching components in the power section consist of two IGBT
modules, Q1 and Q2, operating at a fixed switching frequency of 20 kHz.
The IGBT modules must never be energised when the gate conductors are
disconnected.
Fitting instructions are given on page 15.
If the IGBT modules have failed, we recommend that the mains rectifier,
VC1, should also be replaced.
AP1:5 TRANSIENT PROTECTION
An RCD filter protects against transients produced by turn--off of the IGBT
modules. It consists of components R18, R19, C10, C11, D1 and D2.
AP1:6 THEGATECIRCUIT
The IGBT transistors are each driven by their own gate circuits. These
circuits are galvanically isolated from control circuit board AP2 by
transformers TR1 and TR2.
Fuses F1 and F2 protect the gate drive circuits if the power unit should fail.
Instructions for checking the gate pulses can be found on page 26.

AP1 COMPONENT POSITIONS
The drawing above shows the positions of the contacts on the first and second versions of
circuit board AP1.
On the first version, all the contacts on the board are 10 mm high. On the later versions,
contacts B, C and N are 14 mm high, while contact B has also changed places with contact
PE. The arrows, on the diagram above, are pointing out the contacts.
When fitting this board in machines that have been originally supplied with the first version,
fit the connectors to the following board contacts: XS1 on PE, XS2 on PF and XS4 on PB.
See the circuit diagram on page 11.
Contacts XS1 and XS2 must be secured to the board by means of a cable tie.
-- 1 5 --clud0de1
FITTING COMPONENTS ON THE HEAT SINK
Thermally conducting grease
A layer of thermally conducting grease must be applied to the components described below
before they are fitted.
Start by cleaning the heat sink, and then apply a thin, even layer of grease to the contact
surface of the component. The purpose of this grease is to fill any hollows in the surface of
the component and the heat sink: those parts of the component and the heat sink that are in
true metallic contact may have such contact.
Fit the components as described below.
The order ing number for the thermally conducting grease is given on page 84 of the spare
parts list. Only the grease recommended by us may be used.
Fitting instructions
Q1, Q2 IGBT MODULES
The IGBT modules are extr emely sensitive to ESD. Never touch a module
having an open gate input. Apply appropriate ESD protection measures
when fitting the modules.
Clean the heat sink and apply thermally conducting grease as described
above. Fit the module and tighten the screws to a torque of 1 Nm. Further
tighten the screws to a torque of 4.5 Nm, tightening them alternately.
Warning: An incorrectly fitted IGBT module can lead to failure. Do not
tighten the screws harder than 4.5 Nm.
V1 DIODE MODULES
Clean the heat sink and apply thermally conducting grease as described
above. Fit the module and tighten the screws to a torque of 1 Nm. Further

AP2 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Sections AP2:1 -- AP2:11 r efer to the wiring diagr am on page 8 and the components position
diagram on page 16.
If circuit boards AP1 and/or AP2 are replaced, the gate pulses must be checked and the
machine must be soft--started: see pages 26 and 32.
If circuit board AP2 is replaced, the input for the current sensor must be adjusted:
seepage20.
AP2:1 POWER SUPPLY
+5V The +5V supply is regulated by voltage regulator VR5/VR6. IC16
forms a reset circuit that monitors both the regulated 5V supply after
the regulator and the unregulated.
If the voltage after the regulator drops below 4.65V, I C16 generates a
reset signal to the processor, the CAN controller and the PWM circuit.
When the voltage rises through 4.65V on starting, IC16 maintains the
reset signal for 200 ms to ensure that the machine program starts
correctly.
-- 1 9 --clud0de1
IC16 monitors the voltage to the regulator input in order to make a
controlled shutdown in the event of low mains voltage, loss of power
supply or turning off the machine.
If the voltage across C110 drops below 6V, the gate pulses to the IGBT
transistors are cut off immediately and the processor receives an ’early
warning’ signal that enables it to shut down the process in a controlled
manner.
+15V There are four different 15V supplies on the board: 15V, 15VB, 15VC
and 15VD. The processor monitors all these voltages except 15VD.
15VB
supplies the pulse transformers that drive the IGBT transistors.
The voltage must be between 13.9V and 15.6V. If it is not, the gate
pulses to the IGBT transistors are interrupted, and the setting unit
displays error code 10.
15VC
If the 15VC supply is outside its tolerance of 13. 9 -- 15.6V, the setting
unit displays error code 8.
15VD
See OVERVOLTAGE AND UNDERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
on page 24.
--15V If this voltage varies outside its tolerance of 14. 0 -- 16.1V, the setting
unit will display error code 9.
POWER SUPPLY TO THE CAN BUS
SeeCANBUSonpage28.

clud0de1
AP2:2 CURRENT SENSOR
Input S4 is intended for use with a current sensor that produces a signal of
1V/100A, linearly proportional to the current.
If AP2 or AP4 are replaced, the machine must be recalibrated to ensure that it
delivers the correct current. Apply a resistive load to the machine and adjust the
current by means o f potentiometer R21.
Adjust the LUD 320 to give 300 A±1% at 32 V.
Adjust the LUD 450 to give 400 A ±1% at 34 V.
Use an accurately calibrated external shunt and multimeter when making
the adjustments.
Use the service functions on page 62 to set the current when adjusting the
machine.
Remember also to check the current at low values: 12 A / 14 V, for which the
tolerance is ±2 A. If the current is outside this tolerance, adjust it by means of
offset potentiometer R201. If this is incapable of bringing the current within its
tolerance, replace current sensor AP4.
At no--load, current sensor AP4 must produce an output signal of 0V ±20mV at
input S4. It must be replaced if it produces the wrong value signal at no--load.
From October 2001 there are two different types of current sensors. Either of
them might be fitted to the machine. As the connection cable is different for the
two types, spare part sensors are delivered with connection cable and ferrite
ring. See item 431a in the spare parts list. It is important to use correct
connection cable to the sensor.
