  • Página 50 section 6 troubleshootinG replacement: A. Thoroughly clean any thermal compound from the heat sink and the modules. Any foreign material trapped between the module and heat sink, other than an appropriate thermal interface, can cause module damage due to over heat- ing. B. Inspect the thermal (interface) pad, P/N 951833, for damage. A crease or deformity can prevent the module from seat- ing properly, impeding the heat transfer from the module to the heat sink. The result can be module damage due to over heating. If a thermal pad is not available, a heat sink compound such as Dow Corning® 340 Heat Sink Compound may be used. It’s a good idea to mount all paralleled modules located on the same heat sink using the same thermal interface. Different in- terfaces can cause the modules to operate at different temperatures resulting in un-equal current sharing. The imbalance can shorten module life. C. Place a thermal pad, and an IGBT module on the heat sink. Carefully align the holes in the thermal pad with the heat- sink and module holes. If heat sink compound is used in place of a thermal pad, apply a thin coat of even thickness to the metal bottom of the module. A thickness of 0.002” – 0.003” (0.050mm – 0.075mm) is optimum. Too much com- pound impedes heat transfer from the module to the heat sink resulting in short module life due to over heating. D. Insert the four M6 mounting bolts, but do not tighten. Leave them loose a few turns. Be certain that the threads from the mounting bolts do not bend the edges of the thermal pad clearance holes. A bent thermal pad can prevent the module from seating properly, impeding the heat transfer from the module to the heat sink. The result can be module damage due to over heating. E. Partially tighten the four mounting bolts a little more than finger tight in the order: A-B-C-D. See figure below. F. Fully tighten, in the same order above, to a torque of 35 – 44 in-lbs (4.0 – 5.0 N-M). See figure below. G. Install the bus plates and bus bars. Be careful that the sheets of insulation separating the bus plates are still in their original positions. It’s a good idea to tighten the mounting hardware only after getting it all started. Torque the M6 module terminal hardware to 35 – 44 in-lbs (4.0 – 5.0 N-M). H. Remove the jumper plugs from the module gate lead plugs, and plug into the appropriate plugs from the PWM/Gate Drive PC Board. See Caution below. Replace the top panel. the module gate plugs must be plugged into the pwm/Gate caution drive pc board whenever the power source is in operation.
  • Página 51 section 6 troubleshootinG 6.4.3 power shunt installation instability or oscillation in cutting current can be caused by im- caution proper dressing of shunt pick-up leads. poor torch consumable life will be the result. There are two cables that attach to the shunt pick-up points: a two conductor cable drives the ammeter a three conductor which provides the current feedback signal to PCB1 (control PCB). Dressing of the 2 conductor cable is not critical. The following is the dressing procedure for the 3 conductor cable. • The breakout point should be physically at the middle of the shunt. The breakout point is the place where the conductors exit from the outer insulation jacket.
  • Página 52 2. Compare the power source voltmeter reading to the calibrated meter reading. Readings should match within ±0.75%. Ammeter 1. External to the power source, connect a precision shunt in series with the work lead(s). The best shunt is one with a value of 100 micro-ohms (50mV / 500A or 100mV / 1000A) and a calibrated tolerance of 0.25%. 2. Use a calibrated 4 ½ digit meter to measure the output of the shunt. The amperage indicated with the external shunt and meter should match power source ammeter to within 0.75%. 6.5 control circuit interface using J1, J4 and J6 connectors Interface to the EPP-601 control circuitry is made with connectors J1, J4 and J6 on the front panel. J1 has 24 conductors, J4 has 2 and J6 has 10. J1-P and J1-G provide access to the galvanically isolated transistor output signal indicating an “Arc On” condition. See Subsection 6.8, Arc Current Detector Circuits. J1-L and J1-J are the inputs for the remote Voltage Reference Signal that commands the EPP-601 output current Subsection 6.9, Current Control Pot & Remote Vref. J1-R and J1-Z supply 115V AC for remote controls. See Subsection 6.6, Auxiliary Main Contactor (K3 and K33) & Solid State Contactor Circuits and Subsection 6.10, Pilot Arc Hi/lo & Cut/mark Circuits. J1-E and J1-F are the input connections for the Emergency Stop function. For Emergency Stop to operate, the Jumper between TB8-18 and TB8-19 must be removed.

  • Página 54 section 6 troubleshootinG 6.6 auxiliary main contactor (k3 & k33) and solid state contactor circuits K3 and K33, activated by supplying a Contactor Signal, initiate and controls the operation of K2 (Starting Contactor) and K4 (Pilot Arc Contactor). K3/K33 are called the Auxiliary Main Contactors because they must be activated before the Main Contactor (K1) power-up sequence can occur. The Contactor Signal is supplied through a remote contact connect- ing 115VAC from J1-R to J1-M. If K6 is closed (no fault), K3 will activate. The closing of K3(6, 9) activates K2, the Starting Contactor, and K4, the Pilot Arc Contactor, provided the power source is not over heated. See Subsection 6.7, E-stop and Main Contactor Circuits for more information on the operation of K2. K4 is turned off when the Current Detector senses arc current and opens the contact connecting P2-5 to P2-6 on the Control PC Board. In addition to operating K3/K33, the Contactor Signal also activates the Solid State Contactor. The Solid State Contactor is a logic and interlock circuit permitting the IGBT’s to conduct whenever the remote Contactor Signal is present. The 115V AC Contactor Signal is fed to TB1-9, TB7-8, and resistors R45 and R45-A. These resistors reduce the 115V to approximately...
  • Página 55 section 6 troubleshootinG 6.7 e-stop (emergency stop) and main contactor (k1a, k1b and k1c) circuits A power-up sequence takes place before the Main Contactor (K1) activates. K1 is actually three separate contactors – one for each primary input phase. Thus, K1A, K1B, and K1C switch phases A, B, and C respectively to the Main Transformer, T1. The power-up sequence begins with a remote Contactor Signal activating K3 and K33. Refer to the description entitled, Section 6.6, Auxiliary Main Contactor (K3 and K33) & Solid State Contactor Circuits for more information. K3 and K33 acti- vates K2 closing the three contacts of K2. K2 bypasses K1 contacts providing primary input power to the Main Transformer, T1. This current is limited by three one Ohm resistors, R1, R2, and R3. The resistors eliminate the high surge currents typical of the turn-on inrush transients associated with large transformers. The high current surge of charging the Bus Capacitor Bank is also eliminated by initially powering the Main Transformer through K2 and the resistors. The discharged Bus Capacitor Bank initially prevents the output of the Main transformer from reaching its normal value. As the Bus Capacitor Bank charges, the Main Transformer output voltage rises and becomes high enough for K1A, K1B, and K1C to close. Once the K1’s are closed, the contacts of the Starting Contactor, K2, are bypassed, and full primary line power is supplied to the Main Transformer through the contacts of the K1’s. Because the starting sequence takes time, it is important at least 300 mS lapse between applying the Contactor Signal and applying load to the power source. Applying load too soon will prevent the K1’s from closing and fuses F1 and F2 will open. K15, the E-Stop relay must be closed for the power-up sequence to take place. K15 contains one contact in the K2 coil circuit and another contact in the K1A, K1B, & K1C circuits. There is no power supplied to the Main Transformer, T1, until K15 is acti- vated. For K15 to activate, S5, the E-Stop switch on the front panel must be closed. Also, the Plasma Control must complete the E-stop loop by closing an isolated contact between J1-E and J1-F. The E-Stop switch is closed whenever the E-Stop button, on the front panel, is pulled out. For troubleshooting purposes only, a jumper can be connected between TB8-18 and TB8-19. If a jumper is installed, it MUST be removed before placing the power source back into service. If the jumper is not removed, the power source E-Stop condition will not function when the E-Stop button for the Plasma Control is pushed. J4-A and J4-B are connected together whenever the E-Stop button on the power source is pulled out. This signal can be sent to the Plasma Control so that the control senses the state of the power source E-Stop switch.

  • Página 57 6 troubleshootinG 6.8 arc current detector circuits There are three Arc Current Detector circuits in the EPP-601. One is used internally to control the Pilot Arc Contactor, K4. The other two are available for remote use. A galvanically isolated transistor Current Detector Output is accessible at J1-G (-) and J1-P (+). J1 is the 24 conductor con- nector on the EPP-601 front panel. The transistor is best suited for switching small relays or low current logic signals like those utilized by PLC’s (Programmable Logic Controllers). The transistor can withstand a maximum peak voltage of 150V. It can switch a maximum of 50 mA. The transistor turns on whenever the arc current through the Work Lead exceeds 5A. Pilot arcs not establishing main arcs will not turn on the transistor. A second current detector output is available at TB8-3 and TB8-4. This output is supplied by an isolated relay contact rated for 150V, 5 Amperes. This contact is closed when the primary input power to the EPP-601 is off. It opens whenever primary power is supplied to the power source, and it closes when main arc current is established. Like the transistor output, the relay contact closes whenever the arc current through the Work Lead exceeds 5A. Pilot arcs not establishing main arcs will not close the contact.

  • Página 58 6 troubleshootinG 6.9 current control pot and remote vref A Reference Voltage, V , is used to command the output current of the EPP-601. V is a DC voltage that can come from either the Current Control Potentiometer on the front panel or from a remote source. In the “Panel” position, S2, the Panel / Remote switch selects the Current Control Potentiometer. In the “Remote” position, the Panel/Remote switch selects the fed into J1-L (+) and J1-J (-). The EPP-601 Output Current, I , will follow V with the following relationship: = (80) x (V ) in the high output current mode and I = (10) x (V ) in the low output current mode. PCB10 is the analog signal scaling board. If 115VAC is fed into P1-2 and P1-3 the output current range is in the high mode used for cutting from 50 to 600A. With the 115VAC absent, the output current range is in the low mode used for marking between 10 and 100A and cutting between 35 and 100A. The Control PC Board contains two inputs for V : High Speed; and Normal. When the negative of the V signal is fed into the High Speed input (P8-3), the EPP-601 will respond to a change in V within 10 mS. When the negative of the V signal is fed into the Low Speed input (P8-1), the EPP-601 will respond to a change in V within 50 mS. The slower response of the “Normal” input helps filter electrical noise sometimes encountered in industrial environments. CONTROL 0.00-10.00V CURRENT REFERENCE EPP-600: I(out) = (80) X Vref...
  • Página 59 6 troubleshootinG 6.10 high / low cut current modes and mark mode A remote contact connecting 115V AC from J1-R to J1-S places the Pilot Arc in High by operating K8. Note, that for this func- tion to operate, the Pilot Arc Hi/Lo switch on the front panel must be in the “LO” position. The EPP-601 is placed in the Marking mode when a remote contact connecting 115V AC from J1-R to J1-C operates K11. In the Marking mode, a normally closed contact on K11 opens turning off K10. When K10 turns off, the Boost supply is discon- nected lowering the normal Cutting Mode 430V DC Open Circuit Voltage to 360VDC for Marking. A normally open contact on K11 activates K12. K12 connects the I (min) resistors necessary for stabilizing the low currents required for marking. In the Cutting mode, the minimum stable output current is 50A in the high current range, 35A in the low current range and 10A in the marking mode. In the marking mode, the normally closed contacts K11(3, 9) and K11(1, 7) open. This deactivates HIGH/LOW CUT CURRENT MODES & MARK MODE K13 and K14 placing the power source in the low current range.

  • Página 60 6 troubleshootinG 6.11 low current range The EPP-601 operates in either LOW or HIGH current output ranges. The LOW range is used for marking from 10 to 100 amperes and cutting from 35 to 100 amperes. The HIGH range is used for cutting from 50 to 450 amperes. In the HIGH range, both the left and right power sources are used. Each side contributes 50% of the total output current. The left side acts as a master power source by synchronizing the switching of the right side to its own switching frequency of 10 KHz. In the LOW range, only the left power source is used. The normally open contact, K13(6, 9) prevents T7 from supplying bias supply power to PCB-3, the right PWM / IGBT Gate Drive PC Board. This disables the right side. The same K13 contact (square labeled “D” on the schematic diagrams) places the EPP-601 in the HIGH current mode. In addition to providing bias power to PCB-3 in the HIGH current mode, this 115 VAC is fed into PCB-10 P1-2. PCB-10 performs two functions. With no input on PCB-10 P1-2, PCB-10 scales the 0 to 10 VDC current reference signal for 0 to 100 amperes (LOW range). In the LOW range, PCB-10 P4-11 / P4-12 provides a signal to PCB-2 P4-1 / P4-2. This signal com- mands PCB-2, the left (master) PWM / IGBT Gate Drive PC Board to change the switching frequency from 10 KHz to 25 KHz. The higher switching frequency results in the more power dissipation by the heat sinks on PCB-3. Therefore, in the LOW current mode, a small fan, M5, turns on to provide additional cooling. M5 does not operate in the HIGH current mode. 6.12 electrode current transducer circuit The Electrode Current Transducer Circuit provides a galvanically isolated signal to the plasma control indicating the power source output current. The scaling of the signal is: VOUT = IELECTRODE/100. For example, 200A results in 2.0V output. The scaling is the same for both high and low current ranges. The output signal resistance is 100 Ohms. PCB11 receives the signal from the Hall Effect Transducer and sends the signal through FN5 to J1-Y (+) and J1-J (-). PCB11 sup- plies +15V and -15V to operate the transducer. It also buffers the signal to prevent damage to the transducer from voltage ELECTRODE CURRENT TRANSDUCER CIRCUIT transients generated outside the power source. J1-Y J1-J & TB1-5, DC...
