Power-module / phase-leg evidence record

ABB ACS800 IGBT Output Module and Phase-Leg Evidence Record

Documents whether a destructive output-stage event is external-output, IGBT/module, AGDR driver, current-feedback or protection-route related before a power module or donor unit is sourced.

Scope of this technical record

Use this record when an ACS800 2340 case needs a controlled decision about IGBT/module repair, donor module sourcing, AGDR relationship or modernization.

Safety boundary

This record is for evidence collection and service decision support. Power-module inspection and any test work must be performed by qualified personnel under safe, documented procedures.

The record converts a destructive output-stage event into a repair, donor-unit or modernization decision.

A module request must prove the boundary

A request that says only 'ACS800 2340, need IGBT' is not sufficient for a reliable service decision. The record must show the installed type code, module label, phase-leg evidence, external output proof, AGDR relationship and whether any previous module has already failed.

A donor module or repaired module can be the right decision, but only when the initiating condition and driver boundary have been addressed. Otherwise the donor part becomes the next failed part.

Evidence intake

Turn this record into a qualified service request

A repair decision is much more reliable when the request includes the exact identity of the drive, the first fault evidence and the machine condition when the symptom appeared.

  • Complete drive type code / MLFB or nameplate model
  • Fault code, fault value and first event before reset
  • When the event appears: power-up, enable, ramp, run, decel or stop
  • Motor/cable connected or isolated during the symptom
  • Visible board, option-card, module and connector identifiers
  • Previous repair history, replacement parts and repeat-failure pattern
