Hitachi X200 Series

IGBT Test Method
The following procedure will check the inverter transistors (IGBTs) and diodes:
1
. Disconnect input power to terminals [R, S, and T] and motor terminals [U, V, and W].
2
. Disconnect any wires from terminals [+] and [–] for regenerative braking.
3
. Use a Digital Volt Meter (DVM) and set it for 1 resistance range. You can check the
status of the charging state of terminals [R, S, T, U, V, W, +, and –] of the inverter
and the probe of the DVM by measuring the charging state.

NOTE: The resistance values for the diodes or the transistors will not be exactly the
same, but they will be close. If you find a significance difference, a problem may exist.
NOTE: Before measuring the voltage between [+] and [–] with the DC current range,
confirm that the smoothing capacitor is discharged fully, then execute the tests.
