1. Being careful not to scratch the heatsink, use a clean, soft cloth with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residual thermal
grease.
2. Apply a 0.051 mm (0.002 inch) layer of thermal grease, about the thickness of a sheet of paper, on all the IGBTs and
the input diode bridges.
3. Apply thermal grease to the bottom of the snubber resistor as follows.
a. Avoid getting any thermal grease on the prongs of the snubber resistor.
b. Start from the end closest to the power board and drag away from the prongs.
c. Spread an even layer of thermal grease 0.051 mm (0.002 inch) thick on the bottom of the snubber resistor.
