Rectifier Gating Test [Rec Gating Test]
Linear Number: 590
Default Value: Off
Access Level: Service
Read/Write: Read/Write when Stopped
This parameter selects the various rectifier gating test sequences. The drive should be isolated from
medium voltage. The following options are available:
Off This stops the rectifier gating test sequence.
Test Pattern This parameter applies a pattern that fires the devices sequentially at
low frequency
Normal Gate This parameter applies a normal gating pattern to the Rectifier Bridge
For 6 and 18-pulse SCR drives, ensure that the special power harness is connected to the gating boards of
all devices. A detailed description is provided in Chapter 1 – Functional Description of the PowerFlex 7000
User Manual.
