PowerCage Removal

1. Ensure there is no power to the equipment.

To prevent electrical shock, ensure the main
power has been disconnected before working on
the sensing board. Verify that all circuits are
voltage free using a hot stick or appropriate
voltage-measuring device. Failure to do so may
result in injury or death.

2. Before removing the PowerCage, all the components located within

the PowerCage need to be removed to avoid any damage to the
components. Consult the required sections to remove clamping
pressure, as well as remove the SGCT or SCR, circuit boards, and
thermal sensor.

The SGCT can be destroyed or damaged by
static charges. Personnel must be properly
grounded before removing circuit boards from
the PowerCage. Use of damaged circuit boards
may also damage related components. A
grounding wrist strap is recommended for
handling.

3.

Remove the M8 bolts in the two flanges that connect the heatsink to

the PowerCage, then remove the heatsink from the PowerCage. This
will reduce the weight of the PowerCage making it easier to handle.


4. To detach the PowerCage itself, the bolts on the outer flange need to

be removed. Carefully lift the PowerCage down, placing the forward
face down. Do not overtorque these bolts when replacing the
PowerCage.

The PowerCage can be heavy and it is preferred
that two people should extract the PowerCage
from the drive to prevent injury or damage to the
module.

5. Refer to appropriate section for component replacement.

6.

When replacing the PowerCage, it is important to place the bolts on

the outer flange in loosely. Torque bolts alternately on one flange and
then the opposite flange to ensure even tightening of the module. A
suggested sequence for torquing PowerCage bolts is shown in Figure
5.21.
