Issue:
Performe a Static Test on an Altivar Process.
Product Line:
Altivar Process Drive (ATV630, ATV930, ATV650, ATV950)
Environment:
All serial numbers for Altivar Drives
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
For Altivar Process Drive up to 25hp

- Range: ATV630... ATV930....
- U07M3 to D18M3 and U07N4 to D18N4
- Range: ATV650... ATV950...
- U07N4 to D18N4
- 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
- Repeat the entire procedure measuring from PC- instead of PA+.
- Readings should be OL (should be above 1.0 and may continue to increase to OL if the meter is left connected long enough) 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
- Repeat the entire procedure measuring from PC- instead of PA+
- Readings should be OL in one direction and a low voltage reading the other way (Example 0.3v)
- Range: ATV630... ATV930....
- D22M3 to D75M3 and D22N4 to C31N4
- Range: ATV650... ATV950...
- D22N4 to D90N4
- Drive uses SCRs on the positive input bridge and diodes on the negative. For the Output Bridge its all diodes.
- Instrument
- Use Digit-Meter with an ohm and a diode scale
- Measurement
- Locate PA+ and PC- input on drive power terminals (should be close to your power connection terminals)
- To measure Input SCRs and diodes.
- Set meter to diode scale
- 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 1.0 - OL in both directions (should be above 1.0 and may continue to increase to OL if the meter is left connected long enough).
- Set meter to diode scale
- Place black on positive bus (PC-) 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 (PC-) to L1...L3
- Readings should be OL in one direction and a low voltage reading the other way (Example 0.3v)
