4.28.3.1 Verify if the Bearing PWM Amplifier is Draining Energy
1. RemovetheServiceSideCover.RefertoSection4.1.3.1ServiceSideCoverRemovalandInstallationon
page54.
2. Disablecompressoroperationwhilekeepingthecompressorenergized.
3. MeasureandrecordthevoltageattheHV+,+17HV,and+5VtestpointsontheBackplane.
4. Isolatecompressorpower.
5. WaitfortheLEDsontheBackplanetoturnoff.
6. Disconnecttherear/axialbearingcurrentoutputcableandthefrontbearingcurrentoutputcable.
7. Applypowertothecompressor.
8. MeasureandrecordthevoltageattheHV+,+17HV,and+5Vtestpoints.
9. Isolatecompressorpower.
10. WaitfortheLEDsontheBackplanetoturnoff.
11. RemovethePWMfromtheBackplane.RefertoSection4.28.4PWMRemovalandInstallationonpage
228.
12. Applypowertothecompressor.
13. MeasureandrecordthevoltageattheHV+,+17HV,and+5Vtestpoints.
14. Ifthevoltagesdonotchange,thePWMisnotthesource(ornottheonlysource)ofenergydrain.
4.28.3.2 Verify Functionality of the Five Output Channels
1. Verifythebearingcoilresistancesarewithinspecification.RefertoSection4.29.3BearingVerification
onpage230.
2. Verifythebearingsensorresistancesarewithinspecification.RefertoSection4.29.3Bearing
Verificationonpage230.
3. VerifythevoltagesattheHV+,+17HV,and+5VBackplanetestpointsarewithintheexpectedvoltage
rangesshowninTable4-42BackplaneTestPointValuesonpage215.
4. PerformabearingcalibrationusingtheSMT.
