Single-phase 208 or 230 VAC power enters the rectier block where it is rectied by the IBR and gated on
and o by an SCR. The rectied 325 VDC output (230VAC input) is coupled to the Bus Supply via L2 on
the negative side of the bridge, and is directly coupled to the IGBTs on the positive side.
L2 is an inductor that has 2 purposes. First to prevent the initial surge of current from damaging the
bridge rectier and second as a bus lter device, assisting in DC ripple reduction.
SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectier) is used as a series switch for the DC power during plasma operation.
The SCR is gated on by the PWM on PCB1 and is on when cutting and o when unit is at idle conditions.
During initial charging of the buss caps, power ows through the “precharge” resistor (R10), but when
cutting, R10 is bypassed by the SCR.
Testing: 500 K Ohm forward resistance, reverse resistance - high resistance (20 Meg ohm or greater) out
of circuit. In circuit resistance is 99 K Ohm.
