Measure D18 diode in with a multimeter in diode mode. Make sure it measures 0.4-0.7V, anything less or more and it's dead. In this case it was 0.1V on both ways which indicates that it's dead. The original diode was a PR1600. A photoflash rectifier diode with 1600v reverse voltage. I've replaced it with a rectifying diode with 1kV reverse voltage and it started switching properly again and working.If the issue has a single, specific solution, provide it in this section and delete the sub-headers below.

Problem description

Diagnosing and fixing an issue with an Emerson SP2403 inverter that does not turn on or react to power when connected to 3 phase 400V AC

Location of D18 diode and the TR18 MOSFET (Figure 1)

Symptoms

  • Not turning on.
  • Not reacting to power.
  • MOSFET gate switching for split second then stopping and repeating when measured with an oscilloscope.
  • VCC for UC2844B going up to 16V then dropping to 7V and raising again on a loop.

Solution

Measure D18 diode in with a multimeter in diode mode. Make sure it measures 0.4-0.7V, anything less or more and it's dead. In this case it was 0.1V on both ways which indicates that it's dead. The original diode was a PR1600. A photoflash rectifier diode with 1600v reverse voltage. I've replaced it with a rectifying diode with 1kV reverse voltage and it started switching properly again and working.
