IGBT Test Method The following procedure will check the inverter transistors (IGBTs) and diodes:
1. Disconnect input power to terminals [R, S, and T] and motor terminals [U, V, and W].
2. Disconnect any wires from terminals [P] and [RB] for regenerative braking.
3. Use a Digital Volt Meter (DVM) and set it for 1 ohm resistance range. You can check the
status of the charging state of terminals [R, S, T, U, V, W, RB, P, and N] of the inverter and
the probe of the DVM by measuring the charging state.
Almost infinite ohms = “non-conducting,” and 0 to 10 ohms = “conducting.”
NOTE: The resistance values for the diodes or the transistors will not be exactly the same, but
they will be close. If you find a significance difference, a problem may exist.
NOTE: Before measuring the voltage between [P] and [N] with the DC current range, confirm
that the smoothing capacitor is discharged fully, then execute the tests.
