*Care should be taken to avoid starting the power supply below the full power operating 
frequency; doing so will cause a current trip. 

 

 

6.3  Changing the heat station components. 

This section describes the procedures for changing the heat station components. 
 

6.3.1 Capacitors. 

Apply a thin layer of thermal grease to both tabs of each capacitor and insert from the 
top or bottom, as indicated in Figure 4. Insert and tighten the mounting screws (four per 
capacitor). It is recommended that the capacitors be mounted in the positions closest to 
the side used for the output and no less than 4 capacitors used. Load capacitors close 
to each other in groups to maximize current sharing. 
When using the series parallel capacitor rail configuration, add and remove capacitors 
in pairs, one upper and one lower, this will avoid capacitors from being damaged due to 
full capacitor voltage across a single capacitor.
