Scotchbrite or equivalent abrasive

Mild solvent to clean mounting surfaces

Electrolube 2GX or equivalent thermal grease

1.Disconnect the control wiring harness for the SCRs to be replaced. If necessary, disconnect the wiring harness of the CTs.

2.Remove the bolt holding the busbar to the line side of the SCR Module.

3.Remove the bolt holding the CT, spacer, and load- side busbar to the SCR Module, as shown in Figure 15.

4.Remove the four screws holding the SCR Module to the mounting plate, as shown in Figure 16.

5.Lift out the SCR Module, as shown in Figure 17. Retain all parts and hardware for reassembly with the replacement Module.

6.Remove the MOV by disconnecting it at the spade connectors. Attach the MOV to the replacement SCR Module in the same manner.

7.Clean the heat sink surface of the replacement Module with a fine abrasive, such as Scotchbrite. Remove all particles from the heat sink surface and wipe the SCR mounting surface with a mild solvent. Apply a light coat of thermal grease, such as Electrolube 2GX to both the SCR and heat sink surfaces.

8.Place the new SCR Module in the proper position on the mounting surface. Move the Module back and forth several times to evenly distribute the grease on the plate.

9.Secure the SCR Module to the mounting plate with the screws removed earlier. Tighten the screws to 44 in-lb torque.
