What to do if one or more outputs (phase A, B or C) of California Instruments AC Power Distribution do not produce an output?
If one or more outputs (phase A, B or C) do not produce an output, it could be due to amplifier failure. Contact customer service support@calinst.com before attempting any troubleshooting steps on your own.
What to do if one or more of the 30A fuses (F1 through F8) on the DC power distribution board of California Instruments AC Power Distribution is open?
If one or more of the 30A fuses (F1 through F8) on the DC power distribution board is open, it's likely that one or two of the IGBT switch devices on one of the 4 heat sinks have shorted. The affected IGBT's need to be replaced.
What to do if PFC failure occurs in California Instruments MX AC Power Distribution?
PFC failure means that one or all three of the IGBT power modules on the large PFC heat sink have shorted. If there is any sign of damage, the PFC power devices must be replaced. If not, they need to be checked for continuity using a DMM or diode checker.
What to do if the PFC control boards of California Instruments MX AC Power Distribution are damaged?
If the PFC control boards (7003-705 or 7003-712) have sustained damage in the isolated gate drive section of the board, the board itself may have to be replaced.
What to do if there is no voltage at all measured at terminals 5 and 6 of California Instruments MX AC Power Distribution?
If no voltage at all is measured at terminals 5 and 6, it is possible that the AC power stage inside the module has failed. In this case, it will be necessary to remove the power module from the chassis for closer inspection.
