Location of the Flywheel Inverter Assembly (1) Flywheel Inverter Assembly |
The Flywheel Inverter assembly is located in the upper right side of the flywheel cabinet. When online, the Flywheel Inverter is used to convert the DC voltage to AC Voltage in order to keep the flywheel at speed. During discharge, the Flywheel Inverter assembly converts the 3-phase AC voltage from the flywheels in order to keep the DC Bus charged. The regulated DC voltage is used by the Inverter Cabinet where the energy is converted back to AC voltage to supply the customer load.
Each cabinet for the flywheel contains two inverter assemblies. Each Inverter assembly is made up of three Inverter modules. Each complete Inverter assembly includes the following components:
- Flywheel Inverter module
- DC capacitors
- heat sink
Illustration 2 shows a complete Flywheel Inverter module.

Removal Procedure
Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, RENR7654, "Internal Component Preremoval Steps (Flywheel Cabinet)" in order to shut down the system and gain access to internal components.
NOTICE |
---|
Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits or semiconductors if you touch bus connector pins. When not in use, keep the module in the static-shield bag. Follow these guidelines when you handle any module: Touch a grounded object to discharge static potential. Wear an approved wrist-strap grounding device. Do not touch the bus connector or connector pins. Do not touch circuit components inside the module. If available, use a static-safe work station. |

SKiiP Interface Board |
- Remove the tie wraps that hold the three SKiip Interface (SKI) wire toroids away from the bus work.
- Disconnect the three connectors from each of the three SKI boards. Verify the labeling on each connector with the location of all connectors. Refer to Illustration 4.
- Disconnect the wiring for the fuses from Inverter A (9). The wires run from the Field Coil Driver boards to the Field Coil Driver fuses.
Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, RENR7654, "Field Coil Driver" for the location of the Field Coil Driver boards.
