3.x with converters 4512 104 7231x INTRODUCTION With this document it should be possible to determine which part of kV units of an Optimus generator is still operational and which part is defective and has to be replaced.
The generator has to be kept in this condition to discover the cause of the problem. A non-qualified person (e.g. hospital technician not familiar with Optimus) should not be asked to just turn the fuses back on to prevent further damage.
Problem might be caused by any of the: – internal generator units (Optimus RAD + R/F) – external units (Optimus RAD only) connected to breaker ENF2 :T1 :T2 :T3. Solutions for such a case are not part of this document.

Converter test kit OPTIMUS for OPTIMUS 50/65/80 gen‐ erators release 3.x with converters 4512 104 7231x ▪ Record the conditions of the breakers in the checklist (last pages). ▪ Check for contacts that are welded at breakers and contactors. If contacts are found welded, replace breaker(s) and/or contactor(s).
Converter test kit OPTIMUS for OPTIMUS 50/65/80 gen‐ erators release 3.x with converters 4512 104 7231x CONVERTER CHECKS (EQ FRONTAL AND E2Q REAR) ISUAL CONVERTER CHECK ▪ Check the converter visually. The entire converter chassis must be replaced if cracks are visible at the white IGBT body (looking through the converter cage grid) or if the kV-power PCB Q100 is bent towards the cover plate.
Converter test kit OPTIMUS for OPTIMUS 50/65/80 gen‐ erators release 3.x with converters 4512 104 7231x 4.2.5 Power cable harness check ▪ Check internal converter power cable connections at resonance capacitors C3:2 and C13:2. If the connectors look like (2) no additional action is necessary.
Converter test kit OPTIMUS for OPTIMUS 50/65/80 gen‐ erators release 3.x with converters 4512 104 7231x CHECK OF THE HIGH-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER ▪ Remove PCB EZ130 kV-control. ▪ Insert an extender PCB at EZ130 X1 (or use the backpanel connections, which is less convenient).
