SCR Firing Test
 
 
In normal operation, the SCR firing cards derive their power from a 
voltage divider network that steps down the medium voltage to 20 
volts maximum. As it is necessary to perform this test while isolated 
from medium voltage, a secondary source of power has to be 
provided to power the firing cards. 
Supplied with each drive is a wire harness that supplies 20 V DC 
from the DC/DC Converter power supply to the firing cards (SPGDB). 
This harness has one input to be connected to the DC/DC converter, 
and 18 sets of outputs that can be connected to the SCRs. The 
firmware ensures that this is achieved. 
The procedure is as follows:
Plug the 4-pin Phoenix connector on the test cable into the DC/DC 
converter terminal labeled P3. The other 3-pin connectors plug into 
the SCR self powered gate drive board terminals labeled TB3 – Test 
Power (See Figure 4.19 – Self-Power Gate Driver Board Test Power 
Terminal).
