Introduction to Drive
The Type H Medium Voltage GP drive is a multilevel Insulated Gate Bipolar
Transistor (IGBT) based pulse width modulated (PWM) inverter. It is designed for
high performance and efficient control of variable speed, medium voltage induction
motors.
The drive system provides the following power quality characteristics:
• Clean power input
• High power factor
• Nearly perfect sinusoidal output
Clean Power Input

The drive meets the most stringent IEEE 519 1992 requirements for voltage and
current harmonic distortion, even if the source capacity is no larger than the drive
rating. The drive protects other online equipment (such as computers, telephones,
and lighting ballasts) from harmonic disturbances. The drive also prevents
interaction with other variable speed drives. Clean power input eliminates the need
for time consuming harmonic resonance analyses and costly harmonic filters. Figure
1-1 illustrates input waveforms for typical 6-pulse, 12-pulse, and Type H waveforms.

1-2 • Chapter 1 Overview GEH-6131 MV-GP Type H Drives

Typical harmonic distortion of the source current is 25% for 6-pulse, 8.8% for 12-
pulse and 0.8% for the Type H drives. The corresponding voltage distortion with a
typical source impedance are 10% for 6- pulse, 5.9% for 12-pulse and 1.2% for the
drive.
Note The above comparisons were done using a typical 1,000 hp current source
drive (6- and 12-pulse modes) and a Type H drive operating from a 1100 kVA
5.75% impedance source.
High Power Factor, Nearly Perfect Sinusoidal Input

Currents
Power factor is a measure of the fraction of current that produces real power to the
load. Typically, power factor is given as a percentage. A high power factor (95%)
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) makes better use of its input line current demand in
producing real power to the motor than a VFD operating at a low power factor
(30%). VFDs having low power factor often generate square-wave shaped line
currents. This can lead to harmonics and other associated resonance problems.
The Type H drive draws nearly perfect sinusoidal input currents having a power
factor that exceeds 95% throughout the entire speed range without the use of external
power factor correction capacitors. This eliminates utility penalties for power factor
and demand charges, and improves voltage regulation. In addition, feeders,
breakers, and transformers are not overloaded with reactive power. Low speed
applications specifically benefit from the Type H drive since a high and stable power
factor is maintained throughout the entire speed range using a standard induction
motor. Figure 1-2 below compares graphs of power factor versus percent speed for
the Type H drive and a typical phase controlled SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier,
also known as a Thyristor) drive.

Nearly Perfect Sinusoidal Output Voltages
The design of the Type H variable frequency drive inherently provides a sinusoidal
output without the use of external output filters. This means that the drive provides a
low-distortion output-voltage waveform that generates no appreciable audible motor
noise. In addition, there is no need to derate the motors (the drive can be applied to
new or existing 1.0 service factor motors). Similarly, VFD induced torque pulsations
are eliminated (even at low speeds), therefore reducing the stress on mechanical
equipment. Common mode voltage stress and dV/dt stress are also minimized.

Note For 600 hp and below, the Innovation Series Type H drive is available in a
single cabinet with compartments for all of the sections shown above. These drives
have lifting bolts and fork truck lifting tubes for proper handling.
Note Hardware torque specifications are given in the Installation and Startup
Guide, GEH 6130. For liquid cooled drives, refer to GEH-6132.
The Bypass Contactor Cabinet is an optional cabinet that provides all necessary
control and hardware for full voltage bypass operation.
The Input Power and Option Cabinet houses the input terminals, the disconnect
switch and fuses. Various input/output options are also supplied in this section (such
as meters and associated hardware).
The Transformer/Blower Cabinet houses the input phase shifting transformer and
surge suppression which supplies 3-phase voltages to the output cells (refer to Figure
1-5). This cabinet contains a secondary tap board which is used as a connection
point between the various secondary windings and the output cells. This tap board is
supplied so that the Transformer Cabinet can be easily separated from the Cell
Cabinet. Surge suppression is supplied as a standard in this cabinet. The cooling
blowers are also supplied in this section.
The Cell Cabinet houses between three and six cells per output phase. Each output
phase voltage is the series sum of the horizontal cell voltages (refer to Figure 1-6).
Each cell can be disconnected and removed from the cabinet by disconnecting the 3-
phase input power, the two output connections, the fiber-optic cable, and a retaining
bolt. All cells are electrically and mechanically identical, so that they may be
interchanged. Each cell contains its own control boards that communicate with the
system through an isolated link using fiber-optic cables.
The Power Output/Control Cabinet houses the control boards (refer to Figure 1-7)
as well as the VFD output connections.

servicing (and removal) between the top of the cabinet and the ceiling
(approximately 26.5 inches). To remove the fan(s), the optional air duct cover must
be removed and the fan “tub” assembly must be lifted vertically from the cabinet. If
the optional duct covers are not used, then plenum/duct connections must be
removable to allow proper access for servicing and replacement of fans and
associated components.

Software Overview
The drive application program consists of functional software modules (building
blocks). They combine to perform according to system requirements. Block
definitions and configuration parameters (see Appendix C) are stored in EEPROM.
Variables are stored in RAM.
Tuneup and diagnostic software is transparent to the user. Operator control is
provided as menu driven selections on the door mounted interface unit (DDI, See
Chapter 4) The drive continually monitors performance and outputs the results to the
DDI display as animated meters, icons and digital values. Additional menus allow
the operator to examine and reset any detected fault.
An optional Windows-based configuration, tuneup, and monitoring package is
available for use on a connected personal computer (PC). This Control System
Toolbox provides online help functions, including parameter diagrams. Refer to the
toolbox manual, GEH-6401, for details.
Technical Characteristics
Cell Specifications
The drive system is offered in several basic cell sizes (current ratings), grouped to
provide output operating voltages of 2400 V ac (3 cells in series), 3300 V ac (4 cells
in series), 4160 V ac (5 cells in series), or 4800 V ac (6 in series). Appendix D
provides the basic specifications associated with all cell combinations.
The drive is offered in additional cell sizes (current ratings) for higher voltage
applications. These high voltage cells are grouped to provide operating voltages of
6000 V ac (5 cells in a series) and 6600 V ac (6 cells in a series). Refer to Appendix
D for 6000 V ac and 6600 V ac cell specifications.
Note Output current ratings are a function of the selected cell size. Input current
ratings are a function of the transformer size associated with each hp rating. Note
that all specifications are subject to change without notice.
The individual output cells are located in the Cell Section. All cells are electrically
and mechanically identical, so that they may be interchanged. Each cell contains its
own control boards that communicate with the system through a fiber-optic link.
This link is the only connection between the cells and the master control located in
the Control Section, thus each cell is fully isolated from the main control.
A switching power supply located on the Cell Control Board (refer to Figure 1-8)
allows the control power to be derived from the individual 3-phase secondary
connections of the transformer. This power supply is fully operational between 250
and 510 V ac.
Note For high-voltage cells, the power supply is fully operational between 375 V ac
and 750 V ac. For liquid cooled drives, refer to GEH-6132.

The Control Section contains printed circuit boards that provide central control of the
Innovation Series Type H drive system. The Control Section is physically and
electrically isolated from all medium voltage for safety.
Control for each of the output cells is provided via a fiber-optic communications link
between the Master Link Board and the Cell Control Board located within each
output cell.
Appendix D gives length and weight information for many common configurations
of the drive, based on 60 Hz input power at the voltages listed. If applications
require inputs at 50 Hz or voltages above 5 kV, sizes and weights may increase.

Safety Precautions and Warnings
The drive is designed with considerable thought to personal safety. However, as
with any piece of high power equipment, there are numerous internal connections
that maintain potentially lethal voltages. In addition, the heat sinks and many other
internal components are thermally hot. The warnings shown below should be
followed when working in or near the drive system.
Transportation and Material Issues
When transporting the Innovation Series Type H

drive system, the truck bed must be even and flat.
Before unloading, be sure that the concrete pad is
level for storage as well as permanent positioning.
Indoor equipment is not weatherproof and must be

protected. If it is necessary to temporarily store it
in an outdoor area, refer to Receiving, Handling,
and Storage of Innovation Series Equipment (GEI-
100256)
When using fork trucks to move the Innovation

Series Type H drive or its components, be sure to
use the lifting tubes designed for this purpose.
Never use fork trucks to lift cabinets that are not
equipped with lifting tubes. Be sure that the fork
truck tines are the appropriate length.
Never store flammable material in, on or near the

drive enclosure. This includes equipment
drawings and manuals.
Never run the drive with cabinet doors open. Also,

never leave the Transformer Cabinet doors open -
it reduces cooling to the drive.
Never shut off the blower power and leave the

main power on. This may cause the drive to
overheat and cause severe damage to the system.

Electrical Issues
Never connect or disconnect any meters, wiring or

printed circuit boards while the drive is energized.
Always use extreme caution when handling or

measuring components that are inside the
enclosure. Be careful to prevent meter leads from
shorting together or from touching other
terminals.
Never assume that by switching off the input

disconnect, that all of the voltage is removed from
inside the cabinet. Voltage is still present on the
terminals of the input disconnect. Also, there may
be voltages present that are applied from other
external sources.
Never remove safety shields (marked with a HIGH

VOLTAGE sign) or attempt to measure points
beneath the shields.
Additional safety precautions and warnings appear throughout this manual. These
important messages should be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury or
equipment damage.

Theory of Operation
Introduction
The drive provides variable speed operation by converting utility power at a fixed
frequency and fixed voltage to variable frequency, variable voltage power. This
conversion is done electronically, without moving parts. Unlike older drives, the
Type H drive does not force the user to accept unpleasant by-products of this
conversion process. Specifically, the drive:
• Does not inject significant harmonic distortion into the plant’s distribution
system. No power filters are required. No interference to sensitive equipment
or resonance problems with power factor capacitors will occur.
• Presents a high power factor to the utility, typically 95% or better throughout the
speed range. No power factor correction is required.
• Does not require any derating of the motor due to output harmonics. No
additional motor heating is produced versus operation directly from the utility.
• Does not produce torque pulsations that can excite mechanical resonances.
• Causes no noticeable increase in acoustic noise from the motor, versus operation
directly from the utility.
• Causes no appreciable additional stress to the motor insulation, versus operation
directly from the utility.
• Allows unrestricted use of rated motor torque throughout the speed range,
subject only to the thermal limitations of the motor.
• Is completely modular in construction. A defective module can be replaced in
minutes. The GE Innovation Series Toolbox or the built-in keypad can be used
to diagnose any failures.
Power Circuitry
Note The examples used in this section refer to drives having low-voltage (460 V
ac) cells. High-voltage cell systems have different values.
Medium voltage levels are obtained by adding together the outputs of multiple
low-voltage power cells. The low-voltage power cells are simplified variations of
standard Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) drives, which have been built in high
volume for many years.
Figure 2-1 shows the input transformer topology for a 2400 volt drive. Three power
cells connected in series drive each motor phase. The groups of power cells are wye-
connected with a floating neutral. Each cell is powered by an isolated secondary
winding of an integral isolation transformer. The nine secondaries are each rated for
480 V ac at one ninth of the total power. The power cells and their secondaries are
insulated from each other and from ground for the full output voltage of the drive.
For a 3300 volt drive, Figure 2-1 would be extended to have four power cells in
series in each phase, with 12 secondaries on the integral isolation transformer. For a
4160 volt drive, there would be five power cells in series in each phase, with 15
secondaries on the integral transformer.
2-2 • Chapter 2 Functional Description GEH-6131 MV-GP Type H Drives

Each cell is a static power converter. It is capable of receiving input power at 480 V
ac 3-phase, 50/60 Hz and delivering that power to a single-phase load at any voltage
up to 480 V ac and at any frequency up to 120 Hz.
With three power cells in series per phase, a drive can produce as much as 1440 V ac
line-to-neutral. With five power cells in series per phase, the drive can produce as
much as 2400 V ac line-to-neutral, or 4160 V ac line-to-line.
The power cells all receive commands from one central controller. These commands
are passed to the cells over fiber-optic cables in order to maintain 5 kV isolation.
The transformer secondaries that supply the power cells in each output phase are
wound to obtain a small difference in phase angle between them. This cancels most
of the harmonic currents drawn by the individual power cells so that the primary
currents are nearly sinusoidal. The power factor is always high - typically 95% at
full load.
The schematic of a typical power cell is shown Figure 2-2. In this example, a
3-phase diode rectifier, fed by the 480 V ac secondary, charges a DC capacitor bank
to about 600 V dc. The DC voltage feeds a single-phase H-bridge of IGBTs.

At any instant of time, each cell has only three possible output voltages. If Q1 and
Q4 are on, the output will be +600 Vs from T1 to T2. If Q2 and Q3 are on, the
output will be -600 V. Finally, if either Q1 and Q3 or Q2 and Q4 are on, the output
will be 0 V.
With three power cells per phase, the circuit of Figure 2-2 can produce seven distinct
line-to-neutral voltage levels (±1800, ±1200, ±600, or 0 V). With five cells per
phase, 11 distinct voltage levels are available. The ability to generate many different
voltage levels allows the drive to produce a very accurate approximation of a
sinusoidal output waveform.

Figure 2-2 Schematic of a typical power cell (low voltage cell).
Figure 2-3 shows how these waveforms are generated for the case of three cells per
phase. First, a reference signal is created for each phase. These signals are
scaled-down replicas of the ideal waveform to be approximated. In Figure 2-3, RA is
the reference signal for phase A. This reference signal is then compared with three
triangular carrier signals, oscillating at 600 Hz. Figure 2-3 shows conditions when
the output frequency is 60 Hz, so that there are exactly 10 carrier cycles per
reference cycle. The three carriers are identical except for successive phase shifts of
60 degrees (based on the carrier frequency). Carrier phase shift is computed based
on the following equation:
Carrier Phase Shift = (180 degrees) / (# of cells per phase)
Whenever the reference is greater than the first (unshifted) carrier, the signal L1 is
high; otherwise L1 is low. L1 is used to control the pair of transistors Q1 and Q2 in
cell A1 (see the left pair of transistors in Figure 2-2). Whenever the reference is
greater than the inverse of the first carrier, the signal R1 is low; otherwise R1 is high.
R1 is used to control the pair of transistors Q3 and Q4 in cell A1 (see the right pair of
transistors in Figure 2-2).
The difference between L1 and R1 gives the output waveform of cell A1, shown in
Figure 2-3 for Phase A as A1.
In a similar manner, the reference signal is compared with the second carrier (shifted
60 degrees) and its inverse to generate control signals L2 and R2 for the transistors in
cell A2. The output waveform of cell A2 is shown as A2.
Finally, the reference signal is compared with the third carrier (shifted 240 degrees)
and its inverse to generate control signals L3 and R3 for the transistors in cell A3. The
output waveform of cell A3 is shown as A3.
The sum of the output voltages from cells A1, A2 and A3 produces the A-to-neutral
output voltage of the drive, shown in Figure 2-3 as AN. There are seven distinct
voltage levels. Note that this voltage is defined between terminal A and the floating
neutral inside the drive, not the motor neutral.

by 120 degrees (at the reference frequency).
The sum of the output voltages from cells B1, B2 and B3 produces the B-to-neutral
output voltage of the drive, shown in Figure 2-4 as BN.
Figure 2-5 repeats the two line-to-neutral voltages AN and BN. The numerical

Figure 2-6 Output waveforms, 2400 volt drive at full load.
Figure 2-6 shows motor voltage and current waveforms for a 2400 V ac drive rated
at 1000 hp. The voltage shown is between phase A and the motor neutral (not the
same as the drive neutral). The motor current is in phase A during full-load
operation. A quantitative measure of the waveform quality is its Total Harmonic
Distortion, or THD. The THD generated when using an Innovation Series Type H
drive is always less than five percent.
Figure 2-7 shows the input voltage and current waveforms for the same drive as in
Figure 2-6, under the same conditions. The perfect sine wave in Figure 2-7 is the
voltage into the special input transformer, measured between phase A and the neutral
of the wye-connected primary. The other waveform represents the current into phase
A of the same winding.

Figure 2-7 Input waveforms for a 2400 volt drive at full load.
The current waveforms drawn from the power source by the drive are also good
approximations to true sine waves, due to the harmonic cancellation obtained with
the phase-shifted secondary windings of the transformer. The THD of the input
currents with a drive is also always less than 5 percent.
In Figure 2-7 the the input current lags the input voltage by less than 15 degrees at
full load. This represents a power factor better than 96 percent. The drive always
maintains a high power factor, typically better than 95 percent throughout the speed
and load range.
The waveforms shown in Figure 2-2 through Figure 2-7 represent the worst case for
the drive when there are only 3 cells per phase. When the number of cells increases,
as in 3300 volt or 4160 volt drives, the waveforms become considerably cleaner.
Figure 2-8 shows the motor voltage and current for a 4160 volt drive at full power,
while Figure 2-9 shows the input voltage and current for the same drive and load.
Figure 2-8 Motor A-B voltage and current in phase C at full load for a 4160 volt drive.
Figure 2-9 Input A-B voltage and current in phase C at full load for a 4160 volt drive.

The block diagram in Figure 2-10 shows how the drive control circuits are
organized. The power cells receive commands and return status information via
duplex fiber-optic cables, using serial communication at a speed of 5 Megabaud.
The local communication circuits in each power cell are slaves; the only transmit in
response to an incoming message. These messages originate on one of the Master
Link Boards (MLB), which can initiate a transmission. Each MLB has three
communication channels and controls three power cells, one in each output phase.
The three power cells connected to one MLB have all the same stage number.
Master Link #1 controls power cells A1, B1 and C1; while Master Link #2 controls
power cells A2, B2 and C2; and so forth.
The MLBs all plug into a single motherboard called the Fiber-optic Hub Board
(FOHB). The FOHB has slots for as many as six MLBs, which will accommodate a
4160 V AC drive with spare cells as shown. Drives with fewer than 18 power cells
will have one or more V acant slots on the FOHB.
The FOHB provides +5 volt DC power to the MLBs, and also a set of timing signals
derived from a crystal oscillator. These timing signals cause all of the MLBs to
transmit simultaneously, once every 10.4 microseconds. The transmitted message
contains 11 bits (two start bits, eight data bits, and one stop bit), and is delivered in
less than four microseconds. The power cells then send back a similar message in
response, which arrives within an additional 4 microseconds. During the remaining
2.4 microseconds, the MLBs check that every transmission is complete and has the
correct parity. If an error is detected a link fault is generated.
For a 4160 volt drive with five power cells per phase, there are five pairs of carrier
waves displaced by multiples of 36 degrees. For a 2400 volt drive with three power
cells per phase, there are three pairs of carrier waves displaced by multiples of 60
degrees. The carrier waves are compared with reference signals to generate PWM
control signals for the power cells.
The FOHB also contains several digital registers, which store data determining the
drive configuration. Such data include:
• the phase displacement needed for the carrier waves
• the power cells that have been bypassed.
The FOHB contains a multiplexing scheme that allows the microprocessor to
interrogate each power cell in sequence for diagnostics.
The FOHB connects by ribbon cable to the BPIR Digital Interface Card. The BPIR
is connected to the BICR Bridge Interface Card and to the DSPX microprocessor
card via the backplane (CABP) on the cardrack. The BICR collects feedback signals
such as motor voltage and current.

Cell Control System
All power cells are controlled in exactly the same manner. The Cell Control Board
(CCB) resides within the power cell (refer to Figure 2-13 and illustrations in Chapter
1) and accept all communication from the Master Link Boards in the Control Cabinet
via fiber-optic links. The IGBT Gate Driver Board (refer to Figure 2-13 and
illustrations in Chapter 1) interfaces the CCB to the IGBT power switches.
Depending on the options ordered with the basic drive, a bypass SCR Driver Board
(refer to Figure 2-13 and illustrations in Chapter 1) may also be resident to each cell.
With the bypass option, the control can bypass a failed cell so that the remaining
cells in each series leg can be operated at a reduced (combined) output voltage level.
This bypass feature is implemented automatically following a trip due to a cell fault
condition as long as communication with the cell is maintained.
Note The Bypass SCR Driver Board is identical for all sizes of Innovation Series
Type H cells.
Control power for the gate driver board and the bypass board is supplied from a
switching power supply resident on the Cell Control Board.

Drive Control Rack
The Innovation Series control rack is located within the control enclosure. The
following is a brief functional description of the cards used in the control. Refer to
Figure 2-14.
CABP The Control Assembly Backplane is a multi-layer printed wiring board
which provides the interconnect for the printed wiring assemblies inserted into it.
DSPX This card is the Central Processing Unit (CPU) for the drive. It is the primary
controller for the bridge and motor regulators and gating functions. In addition, the
DSPX supports interfaces to bridge and customer input/output (I/O) as well as serial
interfaces to the keypad programmer and to the GE Control System Toolbox
interface. Indicating lights are provided on the DSPx card for fault and status
indication as follows:
Fault Light
Solid Red - Drive Trip Fault Detected
Blinking Red - Drive Warning Detected
Light Off - Drive OK, No Faults or Warnings Detected
Status Light
Light Off - Drive Off ... Not Ready
Solid Green - Drive Off ... Ready to Run
Slow Blinking Green - Drive On ... Pre-Conditioned
Fast Blinking Green - Drive On ... Running
BAIA The bridge application interface board plugs directly into the backplane and
interfaces with the BICR, DSPX, and LAN printed wiring boards. It contains
customizable I/O that can be tailored for specific applications, however it is not
required for bridge I/O. ATBA Application I/O terminal board interfaces to the
BAIA card.
BICR The bridge interface card monitors input and output voltage with attenuator
strings consisting of voltage dividers and voltage clamps. BICR measures motor
phase B and C output current with Hall Effect current sensors. It also contains I/O
interfaced through CTBC card for internal bridge I/O (blowers, thermal switches,
etc.)
BPIR This Digital interface card provides a 15V to 5V digital bus interface between
the Fiber-Optic Hub Board (FOHB) and the Bridge Interface Card (BICR).
RAPA The Rack Power Supply Card accepts a 48V 25Khz square wave input
from the High Frequency Power Supply Card (HFPR). The RAPA converts this
voltage to provide the rack with +/- 18-24V, +/-15V, +5V, +/-12V and +24V
which is used to power cards in the control.
HFPR The High Frequency Power Supply converts 48 V ac to a 48 volt 25Khz
square wave output. This output voltage is used to power Rack Power Supply Card
(RAPA) and the Fiber-optic Hub Board (FOHB).

FOHB The Fiber-optic Hub Board (FOHB) implements basic cell hardware control,
protection, and diagnostics. The FOHB functions are interfaced with the control
through the BPIR Digital interface card and are passed between the BICR and the
BPIR through CABP backplane. This board may contain from three to six plug-in
Master Link Boards depending on the operating output voltage (system voltage).
This board contains the fiber-optic transmitter/receiver system used for
communication with the cells. A separate switching power supply on the FOHB
supplies all the necessary power to the FOHB and the Master Link Boards. See
Table 2-1 to determine the number of MLBs. The number of MLBs is equal to the
number of power cells per phase.
Note Although each printed circuit slot (PL1 through PL6) on the FOHB is
dedicated to particular cell inputs, the Master Link Boards themselves are identical.

Gain Error <.5% of full scale (least significant 2 bits)
Note Under reset conditions the D/A outputs are forced to 0 volts.
Note When using the analog outputs it is recommended that these are fed into
differential inputs - the return side of the outputs is isolated from the chassis by a
resistance (10K) which can cause false readings of the output (due to noise or current
loops) if the input is sensing with reference to chassis.
Note Because the bias and gain vary slightly from card to card, it is recommended
that the circuit be recalibrated each time the card is replaced.
Meter Driver Outputs

Four (4) bi-polar, 10 V dc analog outputs are provided intended to drive optional
door mounted meters. Two of the analog outputs are driven by 12 bit D/A‘s. The
remaining two drivers are supplied by converting a PWM signal from the drive
control CPU (DSPX) card to a –10 V to +10 V, 5 mA signal. The meter driver
outputs are available only from the CABP card connector J8. The control of the
meter driver outputs by software is configurable through the Toolbox or through the
DDI keypad. Scaling and voltage offset are provided in software.

that the circuit be recalibrated each time the card is replaced.
Tachometer Interface
A quadrature encoder with marker interface is provided to the control electronics for
motor speed feedback and incremental position indication. The interface is good for
standard, differential 5 or 15 V dc signal encoders without circuit re-configuration.
A 15 V dc, 150 mA isolated power supply is also supplied for powering the encoder
electronics.

Contactor Control Pilot Relays and Status Indication

A contactor pilot relay, MA, is provided which is intended to control the drive output
contactor (if supplied). An MA sense input is provided which can be used with an
interlock on the output contactor to inhibit bridge firing if the output contactor does
not pick up when commanded. The MA pilot relay and sense connections are
available on the DIN mounted ATBA card, as well as on the CABP back-plane card
connector J1.
A second contactor pilot relay, MB is also provided, but is not typically used only on
source converters. No dedicated sense input is provided for the MB contactor.
The Local and System fault string inputs are hardware AND’ed to provide a master
enable for the MA and MB contactor pilot relays. Dropping out either or both of
these inputs ensures that the MA and MB contactor pilot relays will drop out.
Hardware configuration assures that bridge firing will be disabled before the MA or
MB contactors drop out.
Limited configuration of the software control for the relays is available through the
Toolbox or through the DDI keypad.

Note To facilitate wiring of standard drive and source components at the factory,
the contactor pilot relays have been wired to a harness-able plug on the backplane, as
well as to the ATBA terminal board card. This presents the opportunity for potential
wiring errors if the circuit is not understood. It is recommended that either the
ATBA terminal board connections, or the backplane J1 plug be used, but not both.

these contacts is electrically tied together
(MABCOM).
The feedback sensing for the MA contactor is

wired to BOTH the ATBA card and to the J1 plug
on the backplane.
Local and System Fault String Inputs

Two circuits are provided for a hardwired, fail-safe shut down the drive. The circuit
consists of two independent isolated relays which are effectively “AND-ed” together
such that loss of either input will result in a drive control shut-down. The first input,
the Local Fault String is intended to be used for hardwired circuits specific to the
drive (i.e. mechanical over-speed, over-travel limits, lock-out, etc.). The second
circuit, the System Fault String is intended to be used in circuits common to multiple
drives in a system (i.e. system x-stop).

These inputs have three terminals (24 V, 115 V and Common) found on the DIN rail
mounted ATBA card. Typical connections are between the common and one of the
voltage terminals. The inputs are independently isolated, so one string can be
operated at 24 V while the other is operated at 115 V. One of the specified voltages
must be applied to both inputs for normal operation. The state of the inputs are
reported back to the control for sequencing and diagnostics. Dropping out either or
both of these inputs while the drive is running will sequence a controlled shutdown.

MB contactors drop out.
Note One of the specified voltages must be applied to both the Local and System
Fault inputs for normal operation.
Logic Control Power Supply

A 24 V dc control logic power supply is provided intended for the purposes of
control I/O wiring to the drive electronics. The 24 V dc supply is derived from the
drive power DC bus, and thus is particularly useful for applications which are
sensitive to AC power dips. Two pairs of 24 V dc and common are provided to
facilitate wiring to multiple control circuits.

Local Toolbox Port

A personal computer based Toolbox is available as an option for the sources and
drives. The basic connection for PC to the drive is a door mounted RS232
connection. (Standard cable GE PN 336A3582P1 is available).
Note Specific details of the Toolbox port cabling can be found in the Chapter 3:
Cabling and Connections in the Installation and Startup Guide, GEH-6130.
The toolbox is also used for programming the optional ACL application card if
supplied in the drive. The basic PC connection to the ACL is through Ethernet,
which may also be brought to the cabinet door. The drive (or source) can be
programmed over the Ethernet by effective going “through” the ACL. Since the
Ethernet is typically wired in a “star” configuration, the door mounted Ethernet jack
may actually be wired from the jack, back to a remote mounted Ethernet hub or
repeater. Then the Ethernet is wired from the hub back to the cabinet, and
subsequently to the ACL.
Test Lead Pass-Through Hole

The Test Lead Pass-Through Hole provides a mechanism to allow the use of test
and metering equipment with the enclosure door closed.
Keypad RS232 Transceivers

A dedicated serial communications port is provided for communications to the
standard DDI keypad interface. The interface consists of two RS232 drivers (TX,
TXEN) and one RS232 (RX) receiver. DDI connections are available on the CABP
backplane card through connector J10.

High Limit = 3.4028239e38
When all of the digits have been changed, press Enter to accept the new value or
press Escape to exit and keep the present value.
Parameter Backup
It is good practice to keep a backup copy of the drive’s working parameter
configuration. You can then restore this file, if needed, or compare it with a re-
configured file to determine differences.
Saving Parameters. Save the active parameters to backup, as follows:
1. From the Main Menu, select Parameter Backup Functions then select Save
Parameters.
2. Press Enter to make a backup copy of the parameters or Escape to cancel.

Note Each new backup overwrites the previous backup copy, which cannot then be
restored.

Tuning the Drive

The drive can be tuned using the keypad wizards. To access the wizards, perform the
following:
1. Recommended: Back up the currently active parameters (see Parameter
Backup) before each wizard is started. This enables you to easily restore
parameters if tuneup is exited or fails.
2. From the Main Menu, select Wizards, then select Start Wizard Menu.
During a complete tune-up process, you normally run all of the wizards in the order
displayed, from first to last.
Wizards
1) Drive Commissioning Wizard
2) Cell Test Wizard
3) Motor Control Tuneup Wizard
4) Speed Regulator tuneup Wizard
A) Panel Meter Setup Wizard
B) DAC Setup Wizard
C) Simulator Setup Wizard
Use the Up and Down Arrow keys to scroll to the desired wizard, then press Enter
to select and start it. (Pressing Escape returns to the Main Menu.)
The selected wizard displays a series of screens and prompts that guide you through
that part of the tuneup process.
Note The path taken by the wizard depends in part on the choices made. The same
wizard may ask different questions and execute different commands for different
applications.
Proceed through the wizard as prompted, using the following conventions:

• After starting a wizard, you should either complete or exit it before taking any
other action.
Note Some keypad pushbuttons do not function while a wizard is running.
However, the Stop button will always function.
• Pressing the Escape button exits the wizard, but any parameter edits made to
that point remain. (See Step 1.)
• Parameters presented in a wizard may be changed or left alone (as appropriate),
but all calculations and commands presented must be attempted.
• At each step, the wizard indicates whether you can proceed to the Next step
using the Right Arrow button or can back up to the Previous step, using Left
Arrow button. If the Next prompt does not appear, the command still must be
completed successfully.

• When a command completes successfully, you cannot execute it again within

the same step. To repeat a command (for example, if required by external
conditions), press the Left Arrow button to return to the previous step. Then
repeat the command.

This executes the rule to populate
all torque and current limits
based upon the previous entry.

Protecting the Keypad

To protect the drive from unauthorized operation or reconfiguration, the keypad
includes two security controls: Password and Privilege Level.
The Password is a 5-digit number that protects the Password and Privilege Level
from being changed by unauthorized personnel. The default Password is 00000.
Privilege Level specifies which operational and configuration functions are disabled
in the keypad. There are three levels:
Read Only disables both the Drive Control and the Configuration functions. An
operator can view but not edit parameters.
Operate & Read Only enables the Drive Control function, but disables
Configuration functions. An operator can view, but not edit parameters.
Configure & Operate enables both the Drive Control and the Configuration
functions. This is the default setting.
If you try to execute a function that is disabled in the active Privilege Level, the
keypad displays an error message.
Function Not Allowed at

present Privilege level!
Press Any Key to Continue
Table 4-5 lists the privilege level for all keypad functions.

Modifying the Privileges
To modify the Password and Privilege Levels:
1. From the Main Menu, select: General Setup > Keypad > Keypad Security
Enter Password: 00000
2. Enter the password as follows:

a. Use the Up and Down Arrow buttons to index through the valid digits (0
through 9).
b. Use the Right and Left Arrow buttons to move the cursor to the digit to edit.
3. Press Enter to accept the Password.
4. If the password that was entered matches the saved Password value, you can
then modify the Privilege Level or Password.
Keypad Security

Chapter 5 Preventive Maintenance
Introduction
This chapter defines practices and procedures that help keep the drive in good
running condition. Periodic preventive maintenance extends equipment operating
life and minimizes downtime. This involves specific power-on and more intensive
power-off checks, when permitted. With both checks, necessary repairs should be
undertaken when needed. This information is organized as follows:
Section Page
Schedule, Record, and Materials................................................................................................ 2

Fan and Blower Airflow Check..................................................................................................3
Power-Off Checks......................................................................................................................3
Inspecting Fiber Ends.................................................................................................................5
For liquid cooled drives, refer to GEH-6132.
Only qualified personnel should install, operate,

troubleshoot, and maintain this drive. A qualified
individual is “one familiar with the construction
and operation of the equipment and the hazards
involved.”
Never touch anything within the Innovation Series

Type H drive cabinets until verifying that it is
neither thermally hot nor electrically energized.
Always work with one hand, wear insulated or

rubber safety shoes, and wear safety glasses. Also,
always work with another person present.
Never connect any grounded (i.e., non-isolated)

meters or oscilloscopes to the Innovation Series
Type H drive system.
GEH-6131 MV-GP Type H Drives Chapter 5 Preventive Maintenance • 5-1

Schedule, Record, and Materials
Maintenance Schedule
For maximum benefit, preventive maintenance needs to be performed on six-month
intervals by a qualified technician. The schedule should include an inspection of
wiring and components before re-applying power after an overcurrent trip.
Maintenance Record
GE recommends that the customer keep a detailed record of maintenance (such as a
log book) for every drive. This record serves two purposes:
• Verifies that all equipment is routinely checked
• Aids troubleshooting and prevention of equipment failure by providing a history
of equipment maintenance and problems.
Tools/Materials Needed
The tools and materials listed below may be needed when performing preventive
maintenance on the drive:
• Electrician’s tools, including screwdrivers and pliers.
• Socket set
• Hex wrench
• Torque wrench
• Electrical tape
• Fine file
• Clean dry cloth
• Soft-bristled brush (such as a paintbrush)
• Mild solution of distilled water and household or laboratory detergent
• Isopropyl alcohol
• Insulation resistance tester
• High voltage detector (such as a tic tracer using an insulated pole of appropriate
length)
• Vacuum cleaner with non-metallic nozzle and finely woven, high efficiency
filter
• Fuse puller
• Replacement components, if required, including fuses, wiring, cabling, and door
filters.
5-2 • Chapter 5 Preventive Maintenance GEH-6131 MV-GP Type H Drives

Fan and Blower Airflow Check
Dangerous voltages exist in the equipment

circuitry when power is applied.
Verify proper operation of cooling system by placing a single sheet of standard ply
notebook paper over the cabinet air intakes. The paper should stick to the cabinet.
The following preventive maintenance procedures need to be conducted with power
on within the control cabinet, only.
1. While the equipment is running, open the control cabinet door. The fan is
located underneath the control rack.
2. Without touching any circuitry, look to see that the fan is still running.
3. If it is not, turn off power to the equipment, then replace the fan. (The fan is
held in place by four screws.)
Power-Off Checks
Power-off checks involve cleaning the equipment and checking for wear and damage
through visual inspection and functional tests.
Before Starting Maintenance
Power must be de-energized before performing

any adjustments, servicing, or other act requiring
physical contact with the electrical components or
wiring.
Before starting, the equipment must be prepared as follows:

1. De-energized
2. Tagged and locked out
3. Discharged (the dc link has a minimum discharge time of 5 minutes)
4. Verified that the high-voltage warning LED on every power cell has been
extinguished.
Do not deviate from these conditions. If safety requirements cannot be met
completely, or if you do not understand them, do not work on the equipment.

Dust Removal
Since the cooling system of the Innovation Series Type H drive draws air through the
power cell heat sinks, dirt will tend to collect at the inputs of the cell heat sinks. If
significant collection is noted, these cells should be removed and cleaned (see
Chapter 7).
Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of all enclosures using a vacuum cleaner
fitted with a plastic nozzle. Keeping the equipment free from dirt and dust allows
proper heat dissipation.
Note Make sure that the air is directed so that dust and foreign matter is removed
rather than relocated.
Inspect the belts and blower motor in the Blower/Transformer Cabinet. Blowers are
located above the transformer. If the Cell Cabinets are fitted with air filters, these
filters can be cleaned and replaced.
Filter must be oriented so that airflow is from

outside to inside of the cabinet.
Loose Connections
Vibration during equipment operation can loosen mechanical and electrical
connections and causes intermittent equipment failure. Additionally, dust and
moisture in loose connections can cause loss of low-level signals at terminal boards
and also thermal runaway at bus connections.
The power connections should be re-tightened after the first few days of operation
and checked monthly for tightness during the first few months of operation, then
every 6 months thereafter. Other important procedures include:
• Check all input power and output series connections within the Cell Cabinet (see
system elementary).
• Check all secondary and primary transformer connections within the
Transformer Cabinet (see system elementary).
• Tighten or replace any loosened crimp-style lugs.
• Tighten or replace all loose or missing hardware.
• Inspect printed wiring boards for correct seating, and check that any lugs,
wiring, and bus connectors are tight.
To prevent component damage caused by static

electricity, treat all boards and devices with static-
sensitive handling techniques. Wear a wrist
grounding strap when handling boards or
components, but only after boards or components
have been removed from potentially energized
equipment and are at a normally grounded
workstation.

Damaged Insulation
Wires and cables with damaged insulation are dangerous when carrying electricity.
They can also intermittently short, causing equipment and functional failure.
• Check all wires and cables for fraying, chipping, nicks, wear, or rodent damage.
• Check all wires and cables for signs of overheating or carbonization.
• Repair minor low voltage insulation damage with a good grade of electrical
tape. If a damaged cable carries high voltage, replace the cable.
• Replace any cables or wires that have more than mild damage.
Inspecting Fiber Ends

Before connecting fiber-optic cable to any equipment, use Table 5-1 to check the
ends for proper termination and damage.

Contactors and Relays
If possible, manually trip the device to ensure that it works properly. Inspect
contacts on open (as opposed to sealed) contactors and relays. Discoloration and
rough contact surfaces are normal.
If beads have formed because of severe arcing:
• Dress the contact faces with a fine file. Do not use emery cloth or sandpaper.
• Identify and correct the cause of arcing.
• Refer to the component’s publication for detailed instructions on maintenance,
repair, and replacement procedures.
Printed Wiring Boards

If boards in a module are dirty:
1. Vacuum to remove dust from around the board connections before and after
unplugging.
2. Remove the boards per the instructions in Chapter 6. Be sure to observe the
personal and equipment safety instructions.
3. Vacuum to remove dust from the board and connections. A soft-bristled brush
may be used to loosen dirt.
4. If excessively dirty, boards may need to be washed, as follows:
• Use a soft-bristled brush to scrub the board in a mild, lukewarm (37.7 °C,
100 °F) solution of distilled water and household or laboratory detergent.
Harsh chemicals and solutions will damage the board. Do not use solvents
containing ammonia, aldehydes, alkalis, aromatic hydrocarbons, or ketones.
• Rinse thoroughly by dipping the board several times in fresh, lukewarm,
distilled water. Do not soak the board.
• Dry the board by shaking off excess water, immersing and agitating the
board isopropyl alcohol, then air drying for a few hours.
Short-Circuit Damage
If a short-circuit occurs, overcurrent protective devices on the circuit should cut off
power to the equipment. This normally prevents electrical damage, except at the
point of the short. However, the heat produced by an electrical arc can carbonize
some organic insulating materials, which then lose insulating qualities.
After repairing the cause of the short and before re-applying power:
1. Inspect the system thoroughly for damage to conductors, insulation, or
equipment. Replace, if found.
2. Check insulation resistance.
3. Inspect the overcurrent protection devices for damage to insulation and contacts
(see previous sections on damaged insulation and contactors). Replace or repair,
as needed.
4. Check and replace any open fuses.

always work with another person present.
GEH-6131 eries MV-GP Type H Drives Chapter 6 Component Replacement • 6-1

Never connect any grounded (non-isolated) meters
or oscilloscopes to the Innovation Series Type H
drive system.
Before Starting
Before starting, the equipment must be prepared as follows:
1. De-energized
2. Tagged and locked out
3. Discharged (each cell has a minimum discharge time of 5 minutes after the
removal of input power)
Do not deviate from these conditions. If safety requirements cannot be met
completely, or if you do not understand them, do not work on the equipment.
Replacing Printed Wiring Boards

Because of upgrade, boards of different revision levels may not contain identical
hardware. However, GE ensures backward compatibility of replacement boards.
Handling Precautions
To prevent component damage caused by static

electricity, treat all boards and devices with static-
sensitive handling techniques. Wear a wrist
grounding strap when handling boards or
components, but only after boards or components
have been removed from potentially energized
equipment and are at a normally grounded
workstation.
Printed wiring boards may contain static-sensitive components. Therefore, GE ships

all replacement boards in antistatic bags. Use the following guidelines when
handling boards:
1. Store boards in antistatic bags or boxes.
2. Use a grounding strap when handling boards or board components outside the
enclosure.
6-2 • Chapter 6 Component Replacement GEH-6131 MV-GP Type H Drives

Replacement Procedures
To prevent electric shock, turn off power to the

board, then test to verify that no power exists in
the drive before touching it or any connected
circuits.
To remove a board:
1. Prepare the drive as defined in the first section of this chapter.
2. Open the drive’s cabinet door. Test any electrical circuits before touching
them to ensure that power is off.
3. Carefully disconnect all cables, as follows:
• For a cable with a pull-tab, carefully pull the tab.
• For a screw-terminal connector, loosen the screw at the top of each terminal
and gently pull each wire free.
• For a fiber-optic connector, press and hold the latch on the mating cable
connector while pulling.
4. Carefully remove the board, as follows:
• Some boards are mounted on standoffs with screws. Remove the screws to
release the board, being careful not to drop hardware into the drive.
• For boards mounted within a rack, loosen the screws at the top and bottom
of the board, near the board ejector tabs. (The screws are captive in the
board front and should not be removed.) The board can then be unseated by
raising the ejector tab.
To install a board:
1. On the replacement (new) board, set all jumpers, pots, and switches in the exact
position as those on the board being replaced. If a board revision has added or
eliminated a configurable component, or readjustment is needed, refer to the
individual board publication.
2. If the board contains onboard software, refer to the individual board publication
for instructions.
3. To install a board into a rack:
a. Slide the board into the correct slot in the rack.
Boards that mount in the rack are mechanically

keyed so that they can only be installed into the
correct slot. Do not attempt to defeat or overide
these interlocks. Doing so will damage the
electronics.
b. Begin seating the board by firmly pressing the top and bottom of the board
at the same time with your thumbs.
GEH-6131 eries MV-GP Type H Drives Chapter 6 Component Replacement • 6-3

c. Finish seating the board in the slot by starting and then tightening the
screws at the top and bottom of the board. Tighten the screws evenly to
ensure that the board is seated squarely.
4. To install a board that is seated with standoffs:
a. Place the board onto the standoff in the same orientation as the board that
had been removed.
b. Secure the boards by replacing and tightening the screws that had been
removed.
5. Reconnect all cables, making sure that they are properly seated at both ends.
Removing and Installing Cells

To remove or install a cell, refer to Figure 1-6 and Figure 1-8, then follow the
instructions below.
Hazardous voltages may be present in the cell

cabinet! Verify that the input power is properly
locked in the off position and that the bus LED on
each cell is off. This takes approximately 5
minutes after removal of input power.
1. Disconnect the 3-phase input connections at the bottom of F11, F12, and F13.
These cable connections are factory placed so that the A, B and C phase
connections match the termination designations on the transformer secondary,
however individual cell phase sequence is not important to operation.
2. Disconnect the output connections between adjacent cells on T1 and T2.
3. Disconnect the fiber-optic connection on the cell control board.
4. Each cell can be accessed without removing it from the cabinet by extending the
slide rails. Detent locks on the slides must be pressed in four locations
simultaneously (two on each slide) to remove a cell.
Maintain a two inch bend radius on all fiber-optic

cables.

Appendix A Warranty and Renewal
Parts
Introduction
When ordering a replacement part for a GE drive, it is important to know:
• GE shop order or requisition number
• Drive serial number and “RSN” number
• How to accurately identify the part
• If the part is under warranty
• How to place the order
This information helps ensure that GE can process the order accurately and as soon
as possible.
To minimize system downtime if repair is needed, GE recommends that the customer
keep a set of spare parts on hand. The Initial Spares Quotation (see section Initial
Spares List) lists recommended spares.
The information in this section is presented as follows:
Section Page
Identifying the Part........................................................................................................... ..........1

Warranty Terms ................................................................................................................. ........4
How to Order Parts ............................................................................................................. .......4
Identifying the Part

A drive component, or part, is identified by its assigned part number and
description. The part number is normally found on a nameplate on the component.
The description is included in the parts tables in Chapter 6 and in the system renewal
parts list.
GEH-6131 MV-GP Type H Drives Appendix A Warranty and Renewal Parts • A-1
Initial Spares List
The Initial Spares Quotation is a separate document that lists the parts of a complete
system. This list applies specifically to the equipment furnished on a customer’s
particular application (requisition) at the time of shipment. It includes:
• Part numbers and descriptions
• Quantity used
• Recommended spares to keep on hand
• Normal delivery cycle for obtaining each part
GE provides the Initial Spares Quotation with the drive’s custom instructions. If this
document is missing, contact the nearest GE sales office or service representative to
obtain a replacement copy. You need to provide the following information (see
Figure A-4) to correctly identify the system:
• GE requisition number
• Material List number or serial number
• Item number
Part Number Structure

A GE part number is structured so that different portions of the number identify the
type of equipment and location of manufacture. A part falls into one of four
categories:
• Order-specific assemblies – Major assemblies or items that make up a specific
drive; constructed from common assemblies
• Common assemblies – Subassemblies used in many GE drive products, not just
a specific drive
• Components – Individual parts that make up assemblies
• Printed wiring boards
These categories and the makeup of their part numbers are defined below.
Order Specific Assemblies

These parts make up the particular drive. Other items obtained specifically for the
order may also use a similar part number structure, which provides information about
the equipment (see Figure A-1).

Common Assemblies
Common assemblies are subassemblies used as components of order-specific
assemblies. Common assemblies are not designed for a particular drive, but provide
a function used in other GE products.
A common assembly part number consists of the number 36 followed by an
alphanumeric character. It may contain up to 14 characters. For example,
36C774524AAG48 is the part number for a drive cable.
Components
Components are the basic parts that make up assemblies. They represent the lowest
discrete level of a system. Component part numbers consist of a combination of
alphanumeric characters that define the class and specific item.

Appendix D Optional Cell Tester
Introduction
General Electric can supply the necessary equipment to perform on-site cell testing
at a customer’s site. This test is essentially a duplication of the cell test done at the
factory prior to installation into the cell cabinet. Since each cell operates
independently within the Type H system, it is possible to fully test the performance
of each cell and thus verify the proper performance of the cell system without having
to actually apply rated voltage to the motor.
This appendix is organized in the following manner:
Section Page
Required Equipment............................................................................................................. ......1

Procedure For Testing an Installed Cell .....................................................................................2
Solid State Variable Voltage Source ..........................................................................................3
Required Equipment
The following equipment is required:
• Portable Innovation Series Cell Tester (PCT, P/N 469939.00)
• IBM compatible computer (286 or greater w/ Centronics port, EGA capability)
• Load Reactor (refer to Table E-1).
• DVM capable of measuring 500 V ac.
• Clamp on ammeter.

- Requires small cooling fans that are not included.
The PCT comes equipped with cables and software required to interface the PCT
with the cell’s optical communications port and the PC. The individual tests are
menu driven with Go and No Go features.
The load reactors will allow each cell to attain full rated current with a minimal input
service requirement to the variacs.
The clamp-on ammeters and voltmeters will allow evaluation of the proper output
voltages and cell currents during the test.
Procedure For Testing an Installed Cell

1. If possible, switch off the source of the medium voltage power at the switchgear.
Make sure the drive's medium voltage input switch is open, and lock it out.
Rack out any output contactors in the system and lock them out. Take any other
necessary steps to release the interlock key that allows access to the cell cabinet.
Keep the transformer cabinet and input switch cabinet closed and locked.
2. Isolate the cell to be tested by removing the series links from the output at T1
and T2 (see illustrations in Chapter 1).
3. Unplug the fiber-optic cable from this cell at the Master Link Board and plug it
into the PCT (see illustrations in Chapter 1). Connect the PCT to the parallel
printer port of the computer. Turn on the power to the portable cell tester.
4. Disconnect the 3-phase input from the cell and connect the 3-phase output of the
variable voltage source to the input of the cell (see illustrations in Chapter 1).
Connect the input of the voltage source to the load side of the 460 V ac control
breaker (CB1).
5. Execute the 1CELL.EXE program on the computer. From the Main Menu
choose #1. The preliminary test will go through a step-by-step go/no go
procedure. This will verify that the communications are working and the
transistors are blocking (not shorted).
D-2 • Appendix D Optional Cell Tester GEH-6131 MV-GP Type H Drives

Note At this point of the test, the functionality of the IGBTs has been determined.
When prompted to use a resistor, the operator should cancel the program by
following the instructions on the screen.
6. Turn off the variable voltage source. Connect the load reactor to output
connections T1 and T2 of the cell (see illustrations in Chapter 1). When running
with the cell mounted in the Cell Cabinet, be sure that the cell is fully receded to
allow proper cooling from the blower. If the cell is operated externally to the
cabinet, a separate blower or fan may be required.
7. From the Main Menu choose #2 Burn-in Test Menu. Make sure the pot on the
tester is turned fully in the counter-clockwise direction. From the burn-in test
menu start the burn-in. The bottom of the screen will indicate that the cell is
running. Q1-Q4 LEDs on the cell should be on. This verifies that all four
transistors are firing. Connect an ammeter to T1 or T2. Turn the pot on the
tester clockwise and note that the output current increases. Continue until
output current reaches the rated current of the cell. Run the cell for 1 hour.
Turn the pot fully in the counter-clockwise direction. Stop the burn-in test and
exit to the Main Menu.
8. Enter #4 (the diagnostic display). This screen verifies which faults are occurring
and whether they are able to be reset. For more information on cell faults, refer
to Chapter 7 Cell Faults and Troubleshooting
This completes the field cell test procedure.
Note Spare parts are available through the General Electric Customer Service
which can be reached by calling 1-540-387-7595.
Solid State Variable Voltage Source
Introduction
Two versions of the Solid State Variable Voltage Source are available: 480 V ac, 25
A (P/N 430278.00), and 480 V ac, 50 A (P/N 430278.01). This product is an option
when a GP Type H drive is purchased.
The solid-state variable voltage source is a light-weight way of supplying a variable
voltage source for back-feeding the drive. It can also be used for supplying power to
an individual cell being tested.
Use of this supply for back-feeding systems is

reserved for General Electric qualified service
personnel.

Protective Circuits
The solid-state source contains built-in current limiting circuitry and input power
fuses for protection. It contains solid-state current limit control that limits the
source’s output to the maximum rated output current. In addition, input power fuses
are supplied to protect the supply from internal short circuits.
Potentially hazardous voltages are present when

this equipment is in normal use. Only qualified
personnel should operate and maintain this
equipment.
Before connecting the solid-state variable voltage

source to a drive (or other device), be sure that all
power to the drive (or device) is turned off at the
source. Be sure to follow proper lock-out/tag-out
instructions.
Operation
Use the connection diagram shown in Figure E-1when connecting the solid-state
variable voltage source to a cell for testing. Follow the steps outlined below.
• After the unit is connected, check that the voltage adjust potentiometer is fully
rotated to the counter-clockwise (CCW) position, and the On/Off switch is in the
“off” position. Refer to Figure E-1.
An SCR does not completely isolate the load when

switched to the “off” position. Before voltage is
supplied to the variable voltage source, be sure the
load is ready for voltage.
• Set the On/Off switch to the “on” position.

• Adjust the voltage as needed by the cell test procedure.

Blown power fuse(s) Replace blown power fuse(s). Also, do a power bridge
test to check for shorted SCRs.
Defective control circuit Replace control cards.
Full output voltage Load is not connected If the variable voltage source has input voltage with no
load connected, full voltage will appear on the output.
This is due to the inherent leakage from the SCRs.
Defective control circuit Replace control cards.
SCR Power Bridge

The solid-state variable voltage source uses three sets of back-to-back SCRs. A
VOM (volt/Ohm meter) can be used to test the resistance across the SCR switch. A
zero Ohm reading (0 Ω) indicates a defective SCR. To test, connect one lead to L1
and the other to T1. Repeat the test for L2 to T2 and L3 to T3. Replace any SCRs that
are shorted. The VOM test meter should be set to the Ohm scale (R×1).
