High Voltage Test Example
6.1
EVM isolation
The board view is shown in
, it can be divided as three sections: 1) primary side of the driver, 2)
secondary side for low side IGBT, 3) secondary side for high side IGBT. The both secondary sides have
high voltage present when the EVM is connected to the IGBT module with high voltage DC bus. The
isolation components between primary and secondary are two flyback transformer and two UCC5870 gate
drivers. UCC5870 isolation capability is 3750 Vrms and flyback transformer ZA9710-AE (not exactly the
one shown in
) isolation capability is 3000 Vrms.
To minimize risk of electric shock hazard always follow safety practices normally followed in a
development laboratory. Refer to TI's EVM High Voltage guideline accompanying this EVM.
The J22, J23 and other test pins are mainly designed for the convenience of low voltage test, please be
extremely cautious if measuring any of these pins during high voltage test.
