Thyristor Services

The Thyristor Module is used in the Wind Turbine to provide an accurate power factor correction and voltage level adjustment function plus over current protection.

Akuray offers a repair solution with a two week turn around that replaces the
defective components and also pro-actively replaces key components that frequently fail in these modules, extending the life of the module.

Key tests:

High Current Thyristor Switching-

– 3-phase AC supply, 5 KW load assemblies, Akuray switching module

Replace driver board with new board when damaged
Thermostat verification
Cooling system verification

SKiiP Services

SKiiP technology is used in various wind turbine convertor product groups and combined with different power and control terminals contacted within the module.

Akuray have a put in place a robust and custom built SKiiP test system that carries out full functional electrical testing of the IGBT components• Initial inspection includes checks for overheating, leakage and signs of explosion
• Proactive replacement of capacitors on gate driver boards and DC link assemblies
• Proactive replacement of connectors, fibre interfaces, cabling, etc.
• Water cooling systems checked for leakage under a pressurised liquid test system
• Semiconductor tests to include VCE[sat] / VF[DIODE] checks
• Check and Record l_supply measurement
• Complete overvoltage and temperature analysis tests
• Check DC-Characterisation using the SEMI KRON SKiiP Tester
• Complete Capacitor Reforming using hi voltage DC power supply
• Complete final mechanical and electrical inspection during 100% out of box audit process
• Track and trace through Akuray serial number, labelling and online ERP system
