Operation principle Minarc power sources are dual-forward inverters, controlled by PWM technology. Switching components are IGBT transistors. The operation frequency is ~ 80 khz. Below is a picture of the dual-forward inverter operation principle. ~ + 320 V 105 VDC V1 Max. 0,5 1/3 13µs t V2 When IGBTs V1 and V2 are non-conductive no power is transferred. Power is altered by changing the transistor s timing (PWM).

General This machine may be repaired only by authorized repair shops and persons! The visual check must be done first, to find possible damages; loose wires, breaks and signs of overheating. Troubleshooting diagram DISTURBANCE POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY Power source doesn t start; OCV ~ 0 V; Cooling fan M001 Disconnect the fan connector X20 and start the power source again. If the power source starts and the OCV is ok, change the fan. The power source starts and the OCV rises up to ~85 V, after which the power source shuts down. Th epower source can not be loaded. The automatic fuses are blown during start up. The rectifier diodes are in short circuit. Check the secondary diodes condition and change if needed. See the changing of secondary diodes, page 26. Faulty primary circuit power Check the primary side power semiconductor. semiconductors. If the voltage over the PTC R30 is more than ~ 230 Vac then there is a short circuit in the primary circuit. Change the faulty power semiconductor. See the IGBT transistor testing on page 26. Faulty control card A001. Change the control card A001. Relay K1 Check the relay operation. Welding current can t be adjusted by potentiometer R001. Faulty power adjustment potentiometer R001. Check the potentiometer condition (R001 = 10 kω) Faulty control card A001. Change control card A001. 7

IGBT-transistor testing Discrete-IGBTs (50 A, 600 V) can be tested with an IGBT tester. When changing damaged IGBTs, the whole series must be changed, plus the gate resistors (10Ω)!! G C E Discrete-IGBT s tightening torque to the heatsink is 0,6 1,2 Nm! B2/6 C2E1/1 E2/2 C1/3 B1/4 OFF ON CONTROL TR 1 TR 2 IGBT-TESTER Secondary diode testing When testing secondary diodes the other coil end of the main transformer (T001) must be disconnected. Main transformer cable connector s may break if bent! If secondary diodes are in short circuit, then the power source will not start. The tightening torque for the secondary diodes is 0,6 1,2 Nm! The soldering must be done carefully, because they are stressed with high current, approximately 30 A/ leg! 26
