  • Gate driver circuit fault causing improper IGBT control

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Step 1: Check the drive cooling system for proper operation
    Cooling system operates normally
  2. Step 2: Verify the IGBT is not shorted by measuring output terminals
    IGBT shows no short circuit
  3. Step 3: If the IGBT is damaged, replace the drive unit
    New unit operates without main-device trips

How to Reset
