4.24.2 DC-DC Converter Verification
4.24.2.1 Input Voltage Verification
1. IsolatethecompressorpowerasdescribedinSection1.8ElectricalIsolationonpage22.
2. InstalltheDCbustestharness.RefertoSection1.10.1GeneralVerificationandInstallationoftheDC
BusTestHarnessonpage26.
3. Turnonthemainspowertothecompressor.
4. UsingtheDCbustestharness,verifytheexpectedvoltagesarepresent.RefertoTable4-18Expected
ACVoltageRangeonpage102.
4.24.2.2 Output Voltage Verification
1. RemovetheServiceSideCover.RefertoSection4.1.3.1ServiceSideCoverRemovalandInstallationon
page54.
2. ProvidedtheInputVoltageiscorrect,withmainspoweron,usingamultimetersetforDCvoltage
measurements,placethemultimeterleadsintheHV+andHV-testpointsontheBackplane.Referto
Figure4-239BackplaneTestPointsonpage213forthisandthefollowingstep.Theresultshouldbe
220–280VDC.
3. Placethemultimeterleadsinthe+24and0VtestpointsontheBackplane.Theresultshouldbe22–26
