Uniform Clamping Pressure

Always maintain proper pressure on the thyristors. Follow this procedure
whenever changing devices or loosening the clamp completely.

1.

Apply a thin layer of Electrical Joint Compound (Alcoa EJC No. 2 or
approved equivalent) to the clamp head pressure pad face (

Figure 81

).

Apply the compound using a small brush, and gently wipe the pad face
with an industrial wipe until a thin film remains. Ensure no brush bristles
remain.

2.

Torque the heat sink bolts to 13.5 N•m (10 ft•lb.), then loosen each bolt
two complete turns.
