7000 “B” Frame


The Symmetrical Gate Commutated Thyristor (SGCT or device)
with attached circuit board is located within the PowerCage
assembly.


SGCTs must be replaced in matched sets:

• 4160V systems use sets of 2

• 6600V systems use sets of 3


The SGCT and associated control board are a single component.
There will never be a time when the device or the circuit board will
be changed individually. There are 4 LEDs on the SGCT, and the
following table describes their functions:

LED 4

Green

Solid Green indicates that the Power Supply to the Card is
OK

LED 3

Green

Solid Green indicates that the Gate-Cathode resistance is
OK

LED 2

Yellow

LED ON indicates the gate is ON, and Flashes alternately
with LED 4 while gating

LED 1

Red

LED ON indicates the gate is OFF, and Flashes alternately
with LED 3 while gating


Do not adjust outside nut.
