8. Using the analog ohmmeter, connect the
positive meter probe to the heat sink and the
negative meter probe to the positive capaci-
tor terminal on the power module chopper
PC board. See Figure F.18. The resistance
reading should be high (over 20,000 ohms).
9. Reverse the meter probe leads. The resis-
tance should be very high (over 20,000
ohms). It the resistance is low in either Step
8 or 9, the IGBT may be shorted or leaky.
