Find faulty thyristor
1. Find the defective branches by performing an OHM test (both polarities)
between U1, V1, W1 and C1, D1 (see fig. Anti-parallel B6-bridges with
branching fuses on page 45)

2. Disconnect the branching fuses of the defective branches.
3. Find the defective thyristors by performing an OHM test (both polarities) over
their heat sinks.
4. In a 4-quadrant converter change both thyristors clamped between the same
heatsinks at once.
Note:
Because “Disc Type” semiconductors need a certain compression force to operate
properly, a measurement outside the clamped heat sinks might be wrong. To be
sure which thyristor is broken change only one thyristor, clamp the heat sinks
again and repeat step three.
