ACS 6000 Maintenance Manual
The DIU is located in the bottom left corner of a CBU. The CBU is available
in two different sizes depending on the power rating of the converter (size
1 for converters up to 9 MVA and size 2 for converters rated for 9 to 14
MVA).
The replacement of IGCTs is explained using the example of size 1 of the
CBU. Although the space in this type of CBU is very narrow the IGCTs can
be replaced from the front of the cabinet.
1
Check that the drive has been deenergized and voltages have been
removed from the cabinet. See section
11.2 Safety.
2
Disconnect the fiber optic cable (see
Figure 11-1) and the power
supply lead (not shown in
