Uniform Clamping Pressure

Always maintain proper pressure on the thyristors. Follow this procedure
whenever changing devices or loosening the clamp completely.

1.

Apply a thin layer of Electrical Joint Compound (Alcoa EJC No. 2 or
approved equivalent) to the clamp head pressure pad face (

Figure 81

).

Apply the compound using a small brush, and gently wipe the pad face
with an industrial wipe until a thin film remains. Ensure no brush bristles
remain.

2.

Torque the heat sink bolts to 13.5 N•m (10 ft•lb.), then loosen each bolt
two complete turns.

washers by the fingers with some resistance.
