Service manual MinarcTig Evo 200 Version 1.1.5. 29.9.2015 4.2.1.2. IGBT Main supply voltage must be connected during the IGBT module diode measuring. IGBT module can be tested by multimeter if using the diode tester function. Module holds four diodes and in many cases they may be defective if IGBT is damaged.
Service manual MinarcTig Evo 200 Version 1.1.5. 29.9.2015 4.2.1.3. Secondary rectifier Main supply voltage must be connected during the secondary rectifier diode measuring. Use a digital multimeter to test the secondary diodes. Diodes are in groups, so it is not possible to meas- ure them one by one unless they removed from the board and measured separately.

Service manual MinarcTig Evo 200 Version 1.1.5. 29.9.2015 IGBT module NTC is integrated inside the module: Measure the resistance, it should be between 14-2,8kΩ in a cool machine (in environ- ment temperature 0-40°C) While temperature rises, resistance lowers and at 500Ω point the inverter stops and gives overheat alert.
4.3.1. Rectifier/PFC module and IGBT MinarcTig Evo 200 has a soldering input rectifier/PFC and IGBT modules and it is not possible to change them separately. Only reliable way to replace the module(s) is to change the whole Z001 main circuit card.
Service manual MinarcTig Evo 200 Version 1.1.5. 29.9.2015 Heat sink paste should be spread on to the modules in an even layer by using clean fingers. Then the card should be immediately mounted onto the heat sink, this minimizes the possibility of any contamina- tion (dirt etc.) getting between the components.
