To prevent electrical shock, ensure the main
power has been disconnected before working on
the drive. Verify that all circuits are voltage free
using a hot stick or appropriate voltage-
measuring device. Failure to do so may result in
injury or death.

2.

Remove the load from the clamp head per the procedure on page

6-19.

3.

Completely remove the SGCT from the heatsink that is being replaced

per the instructions on pages 6-22 to 6-27.

4.

There are 2 bolts that secure the heatsink to the PowerCage. They are

13-mm bolts, and should be removed using several extenders to get
the socket wrench out past all the sensitive gate driver boards.

5.

Loosen the two bolts and carefully remove the heatsink from the

PowerCage.
