Figure 35 - Snubber Capacitor Test (shown with SPS Board installed)
Refer to
Table 1 on page 46
to determine the appropriate snubber capacitance
value for the current rating of the SGCT used.
The capacitance measured is actually affected by the snubber capacitor and other
capacitance in the circuit, including capacitance from the gate driver circuit. You
are actually looking for a consistent reading for all devices.
If the capacitor is out of tolerance, refer to publicatio
for
detailed instructions on how to replace the snubber capacitor.
