7000A-UM151D-EN-P – March 2013



The Symmetrical Gate Commutated Thyristor (SGCT or device) with
attached circuit board is located within the PowerCage assembly.


SGCTs must be replaced in matched sets:

• 3300V and 4160V systems use sets of 2

• 6600V systems use sets of 3


The SGCT and associated control board are a single component. There
will never be a time when the device or the circuit board will be changed
individually. There are 4 LEDs on the SGCT, and the following table
describes their functions:

LED 4

Green

Solid Green indicates that the Power Supply to the Card is
OK

LED 3

Green

Solid Green indicates that the Gate-Cathode resistance is
OK

LED 2

Yellow

LED ON indicates the gate is ON, and Flashes alternately
with LED 1 while gating

LED 1

Red

LED ON indicates the gate is OFF, and Flashes alternately
with LED 2 while gating


Do not adjust outside nut.

SGCT captive screws

Inside nut used for loosening

and applying load to assembly
