Product Description
The GE IGBT AP DB Snubber Board DS200IPCDG2A features one 4-pin connector and seven screws for adjusting the insulated bipolar transistor (IGBT). The drive contains a high level of electric current to power the motor and so hazardous conditions can occur when you handle the components in the drive. For this reason only qualified servicers should perform the replacement. Qualifications include recognizing the danger from high current and having an understanding of the electric cabling in the drive. Also the servicer must understand the components in the drive, how to access them, and how the drive is supplied with power. One of the first steps is to disengage the drive from power.
The servicer must always assume that power is present in the drive. By following that practice, the servicer will never be caught off guard and subject to a burn, or serious injury or an electric shock. Death can occur if the servicer touches a live wire or the components in which power is present.
The servicer must inspect the area around the drive for moisture on the floor because the moisture conducts electricity and can lead to a hazardous situation. It is important to make sure the floor is dry and clear of debris and also oil and grease. Discard any power cords that are ungrounded because of the safety hazard. The servicer should never work alone. Someone should be nearby to call for help if an emergency occurs. The partner can also assist the servicer during the replacement procedure.
