The heatsinks for the Powerex IGBT modules are cooled by air flow. The air is provided by the blower to
an air plenum at the top of the electrical cabinet. The air splits into 4 paths to cool the four stacks t of
Powerex Panels. The air exits each stack of panels at the bottom and then exhausts though a hole
where the PTO oil cooler is mounted. Care must be taken when cleaning in the PTO area to not
contaminate the cabinet with water.

INTERFACE CARDS
(950 and L1350 S/N 2016 and up)

Copyright 2007

Copyright 2007
INTERFACE CARDS
The top panel of each converter section contains a drive module and two interface cards.
Interface Cards and Drive Modules
The two interface cards are used to connect the IGBT switches and drive circuitry to the drive module and
to the 24 volt supply and the bus voltage sources. The VR converter controls also attach to the drive
module through the card on Converter 4.
The upper board is called the diode/chop (left) Interface card and the bottom card is called SR (right)
Interface card.
NOTE: These boards were located in left and right positions on the first Semikron brand SR drive system
used in the L=1350.

Copyright 2007
Cable Connections
There are two 15 pin D-sub connectors and two 9 pin D-sub connectors on each card (similar to the serial
and video connectors on a PC computer).
The D-sub connector at the right in the picture above is a 15 pin on the diode/chop card and a 9 pin on
the SR card. The cable connected to these joins together at the 24 pin circular connector that attaches to
connector 1 of the drive module.
The next connector on the cards is a 9 pin on the diode/chop card and a 15 pin on the SR card. These
attach to connector 2 of the drive module. The third connector has the same arrangement as one and the
fourth connector the same as two.

Diode Chopper Interface Card

Top Card Diode/Chopper Interface Card
Diode/Chopper Interface Card
CONN 14 (labeled CHOPPER) on the diode/chop interface card connects to the chopper IGBT
converter.
NOTE: CONN1, CONN 2 and CONN3 are not used. They are labeled ACT BR. ACT BR means Active
Bridge. This provision was included on the interface card but was never used. This was going to be
another converter group that would be between the AC generator and the bus and allow regeneration to
the generator. This was never implemented.
The diode/chop interface card has a green 10-pin connector labeled CONN 9 XFMR CARD that connects
to the transformer/divider card. This brings AC voltage phase and amplitude, and fuse status information
to the drive system.
There is also a 15 pin D-sub connector that goes to the voltage regulator panel labeled CONN 12 VR
CARD. This is only used on Converter 4. This connects VR SCR firing and feedback signals to Drive
Module #4 which controls the generator regulation system.
The green connector labeled TO RT CONN5 connects the 24-volt and +/- 15 volt supply from the SR
Interface card to the Diode/Chopper Interface card of the two cards together. The other green connector
is not used in this application.
Diode/Chopper Interface card provides:
Direct feed-through for the chopper gate, error signals and current feedback from the IGBT drive
boards
Heatsink temperature measurement for the Diode Bridge and chopper.

SR Interface Card
The SR interface card has three D-sub connectors that goes to the three SR IGBT sections. (6
connectors on the Semikron system) CONN1 SR 11 goes to Phase 1 or the top converter panel. The
next goes to Phase 2 or the second converter panel and so forth. The three connector slots (CONN5,
CONN6 and CONN7) are not used for the 950 and 1350 with Powerex panels. They are used on the
Semikron systems.
There are several P/N for the various SR Interface cards. See the component interchangeability chart in
the Appendix.
There is terminal strip that connects to the 24-vdc system supply (derived from the machine battery) and
to the DC bus voltage. The green 6-pin connector is the address input. A plug at each converter location
sets the address so the LINCS system can identify the drive module required program.
The connector CONN4 provides the 24-volt and +/- 15 volt supply for the Diode/Chopper card.
SR Interface card

15V POWER FOR ANALOG CIRCUITS

24V is supplied to the SR interface card from the machine. The SR interface card has a self
contained DC/DC converter (black unit that is approximately 2 X 2 X .45) that converts 24V
input to 15V to provide power for the op amps on the SR Interface card. The power supply has
an input range of 9-36V with built in I/O protection that includes input overvoltage shutdown,
reverse polarity shutdown, output current limiting and output overvoltage protection.
For troubleshooting it is important to note that the power supply will shut down in the case of an
overload or short circuit but in most cases the power supply will recover after the short circuit or
overload is removed.
SR Interface card power supply
The 15V generated by the power supply on this card is NOT used on the Powerex Panels. The
green LED indicators on the panel for 15V are for the internally generated supplies on each
Powerex driver board. Each Powerex driver board has its own independent 15V power supply.
The 24V and 15V is also passed via the green connector and a jumper cable to the Diode
Chopper Interface card power the op amps on that card.

In the #4 motor position the 15V is also passed on from the Diode Chopper Interface card to the
VR interface card. This is used to power the various op amps on the VR interface card and is
also used to power the current transducer.

BUS VOLTAGE CARD

(950 and L1350 2016 and up)

Copyright 2007

Copyright 2007
Bus Voltage Card

During normal operation the DC bus on each of the converters will discharge within 2 seconds of
the machine going to low throttle. The diode/braking chopper panel IGBT is turned on to short
out the bus across the grids
If there is a switch or system fault or the converter has been turned off and not properly isolated
there can be bus voltage present. Any voltage present will discharge automatically in 3-5 minutes
through the equalizer resistors across the power capacitors.
There are LEDs on the interface card and the back wall of the cabinet that detect voltage present
on the bus.
These LEDs will glow bright red if one or more of the buses are energized
Converter bus voltage (up to 730VDC) is present in the electrical cabinet when the red LED lights
are glowing on the lower interface card located at the top of each power conversion group.
Red LEDs are also present on the Bus Voltage card on back wall of the electrical cabinet.
DO NOT ENTER THE CABINET. DO NOT TOUCH anything in the cabinet if these LEDs are
lit.
Under normal operating conditions the bus will automatically discharge within 2 seconds
of the machine going to low throttle. However, under some fault conditions, the bus
discharge circuit does not function. Under these conditions it may take up to 5 minutes
for the bus to fully discharge.

Copyright 2007
High Intensity LEDS are also present on the Bus Voltage card on back wall of the
electrical cabinet. DO NOT TOUCH anything in the cabinet if these LED are lit.
Bus Voltage Card
Entry bar in doorway

An entry bar is placed in the doorway that also warns of bus voltage if the LEDs are lit.
NOTE: The door of the electrical cabinet is interlocked with the generator. If the door is
opened while the generator is energized the generator will immediately be turned off and
the DC bus discharged. The entry bar is also interlocked with the door of the electrical
cabinet and the generator.
Under normal operation the DC bus will always be discharged as part of the shutdown process. If
a motor has been disabled in the LINCS configuration in the cab and has not been disabled
electrically at the panel it can remain charged.
The motor should always be disabled per instructions.
Disable the motor in the cab with LINCS configuration.
Remove and insulate/secure the 3 AC leads that go to the Diode/Chopper panel of

the drive system that is being disabled

Phase Panel early type
IGBT modules on phase panel

The phase panel consists of two 1200V rated IGBT modules mounted on a heat sink and a control
(driver) card.
1200V devices are used as there are some spikes in the system that cannot be fully
suppressed.

Copyright 2007
It is critical that the locations of the wires are carefully noted when a driver board is removed or
changed. A wire misconnected or left off can cause an immediate failure of the IGBT or driver
board.
One IGBT module is used as the high side switch and the other module is used as the low side switch.
The module is a standard module used for Variable Speed AC motor control and includes both high and
low side switches. Only one of the two switches is used in this application.
The modules cannot be moved around to a different position in order to use the opposite switch.
There is a diode in parallel with each of the IGBT switches. The diode for the unused switch is
used as part of the SR control circuit. If something goes wrong with a switch it would not work
in the opposite position. It would likely explode when power was applied.

Each panel also includes power capacitors for the DC bus. All of the panels are connected together at
the bus so that all capacitors on all panels are charged by the diodes on the Diode/Chopper Panel. There
are two 450VDC electrolytic capacitors in series to give 900V maximum rating. The bus normally runs at
about 600-740V.
Capacitors Schematic

Copyright 2007
There is also an equalizer resistor across each capacitor. The resistors assure that the voltage drop
across the two capacitors in series is equal. It also provides a discharge path and the capacitors will
normally discharge in 4-5 minutes when the generator goes off line.
Equalizer Resistors and Capacitors
The equalizer resistors shown in the picture MUST be in place across each capacitor or the
capacitor can explode when it is first charged.
See appendix for large drawing of each of the phase panels.

DIODE/BRAKE CHOPPER PANEL

This integrated panel has two primary functions full wave diode bridge to convert AC to DC and a
braking IGBT switch to control current to the braking grids. The panel contains fuses, diodes, diode
suppression network, bus capacitor bank, current transducer, thermistor, IGBT module and IGBT Driver
Card.
Diode/Brake Chopper Panel Overview

Copyright 2007
Diode/Brake Chopper Panel Schematic
Diode Bridge
A diode bridge rectifier creates the front end. This front end rectifies the three-phase AC power to DC,
creating a DC bus as shown in illustration. The DC bus consists of a large number of storage capacitors.
The diode bridge consists of 3 1200V rated dual diode modules. There is a suppression network across
each of the diode modules to protect the diodes from both AC generator spikes and spikes that might be
present on the bus due to turn off inductances of the motor coils.
NOTE: The diode bridge rectifier and braking chopper are mounted on the same panel assembly
in current production 950 and 1350 machines.
Diode Bridge Schematic

Copyright 2007
The diodes for rectification used are dual diode packages as shown below.
Dual Diode Module

Copyright 2007
Brake Chopper
The braking chopper is a single 1200V rated IGBT module that is connected between the negative bus
and one side of the braking grids. There is one braking chopper per motor control assembly. When the
system goes into a braking mode, power is regenerated from the motor through the phase switches to the
DC bus, causing an increase in bus voltage.
The chopper turns on and off in a controlled manner and dumps the excess energy to the braking grids.

Driver Board and IGBT module on Chopper panel
It is critical that the locations of the wires are carefully noted when a driver board is removed or
changed. A wire misconnected or left off can cause an immediate failure of the IGBT or driver
board.
The low side switch of an IGBT module is used on the chopper panel. The module is a standard module
used for Variable Speed AC motor control and includes both high and low side switches. Only one of the
two switches is used in this application.
The modules cannot be moved around to a different position in order to use the opposite switch.
There is a diode in parallel with each of the IGBT switches. The diode for the unused switch is
used as part of the SR control circuit. If something goes wrong with a switch it would not work
in the opposite position. It would likely fail immediately when power was applied.

POWEREX PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

The Powerex panels can be removed and installed one at a time if a problem is found. There are 4
panels in each motor control group and each one can be removed and installed separately.
Powerex Panel
The panels are mounted onto studs on the wall of the electrical cabinet.

Copyright 2007
To remove a panel:
1. Remove the cables to the panel
a. Motor leads (Phase Panels)
b. AC leads (Diode/Chopper Panel)
c.
Braking leads (Diode/Chopper Panel)
d. Control cables from Interface card

e. Any cables that may be attached to the panel

2. Remove the air seals between heatsinks. The seal consists of a thin piece of aluminum with
piece of rubber acting as a seal. This is mounted over the gap between the heatsinks.
a. This is held in place with several small screws. Take care not to drop any of the small
screws and lock washers.
Remove air seal assembly
If any of the small screws or washers are dropped they must be found. This could cause a short
circuit on one of the panels or on the GF resistors or suppression network.
3. Remove the bolts, washers and shims between the panels on the + and DC bus.

Copyright 2007
Remove shims from bus connections
Remove bolts and shims between panels

4. Remove the 3/8 nuts and lockwashers that hold the panel to the wall. There are typically 4 nuts
down the left and right side and one at the top and bottom near the middle.

Copyright 2007
Remove nuts holding panels to wall of cabinet
If any of the nuts or washers are dropped they must be found. This could cause a short circuit
on one of the panels or on the GF resistors or suppression network.
The original machines used a separate lockwasher and nut. Newer machines use a 425-5295 3.816UNC KEP NUT where the washer is an integral part of the nut. It is recommended that the Kep
nut type of nut be used any time a panel is replaced. The lockwashers and nuts are difficult to
remove and install in several of the locations.

5. Remove the panel. Take care not to damage the studs or another panel while removing.
INSTALLATION OF NEW PANEL

1. Check the threads on studs to make sure that they are not damaged
2. Check the heat sinks of the installed panels to make sure there is no external contamination or
nuts.
3. Carefully line up the new panel with the studs and install. The panel must be pushed straight
onto all studs at the same time in order for them to align with the holes in the panels.
DO NOT install one side completely onto the studs and attempt to force the other side to go on.
4. Install the nuts. Kep Nuts as shown are recommended. Tighten all nuts to the proper Grade 8
torque.
Install nuts holding panels to wall of cabinet
5. There will normally be a gap between panels. This gap must be filled with electrically conductive
shims. The shims should be coated with an anti oxidant coating with suspended zinc particles
such as Burndy Penetrox A or Ideal Noalox.

Copyright 2007
Anti Oxidant Paste with Zinc Particles
DO NOT tighten down the bolts without first filling the gap with shims. This could cause the bar on the +
