Issue:
Perform a Static Test on an Altivar 320

Product Line:
ATV320

Environment:
ATV320 all series

Cause:
Test needed to check for short.

Resolution:
Checking The Input and Output Diode Bridges
This test is done using a digital multi-meter in diode test mode to check that the transistors and diodes are not short-circuited.

ALL TESTS ARE TO BE PERFORMED WITH ALL SOURCES OF POWER REMOVED FROM THE DRIVE

Drive uses all diodes on the Input and Output Diode Bridge.

Instrument
- Use Digit-Meter with a diode scale
Measurement
- Locate PA+ and PC- input on drive power terminals (should be close to your power connection terminals)
- Set meter to diode scale
- To measure Input diodes
  - Place black on positive bus (PA+) and red on L1
  - Get readings and then move to L2, and then L3
  - When done swap red and black probes, and measure again between (PA+) to L1...L3
  - Readings should be OL in one direction and a low voltage reading the other way (Example 0.3v)
- To measure Output diodes
  - Place black on positive bus (PA+) and red on T1
  - Get readings and then move to T,2 and then T3
  - When done swap red and black probes , and measure again between (PA+) to T1...T3
  - Readings should be OL in one direction and a low voltage reading the other way (Example 0.3v)

To confirm the terminals check the ATV320 Installation Manual (link below), from page 97 to 114
