4.2.1.2. IGBT
Main supply voltage must
not
be connected during the IGBT module diode measuring.
IGBT module can be tested by multimeter if using the diode tester function. Module holds four diodes and
in many cases they may be defective if IGBT is damaged. They can be measured separately only if main
transformer primary is disconnected.

If the transformer primary is disconnected, IGBT 1 emitter and IGBT 2 collector connection points can be
used separately to measure diodes one by one. In this case the table must checked twice: first using the
IGBT 1 emitter point only and then the IGBT 2 collector point.
