Alpha Power Supply Module Test: Regular Voltage

Alpha Power Supply Module Test: Regular Voltage

By: kkuster@trinityinsight.com - March 21, 2021

To make an Alpha Power Supply Module (regular voltage) come up with “- -“ on the display and 300 volts DC output across the buss:

Step 1

Kill power, let the charge lights go out, then check for a DIRECT SHORT between the top and bottom buss bars.

Step 2

If you have a DIRECT SHORT, disconnect modules until the short goes away.

Step 3

If you do not have a DIRECT SHORT, follow the steps below.

Step 4

Be sure to measure the leg-to-leg AND leg-to -ground voltage into the power supply module.

If you do not have a DIRECT SHORT:

Step 1

Supply 3- phase input into L1, L2 and L3 bottom of power supply (200-220V AC leg-to-leg & 100-110V AC leg-to-ground)

Step 2

Supply 200 volts input into CX1A connector.

Step 3

Jumper out the top and bottom pins of the three pins on the CX3/MCC cable coming into the PSM.

Step 4

Jumper out the top two pins of the three pins on the CX4/ESP E-Stop connector on the PSM.

Step 5

Have all screws on the DC buss installed and tight.

With these things done you should have “- -“ on the display and 300 volts DC across the buss. If you do not, then replace power supply.
