Welder IGBT Module Testing

Use the cropped terminal layout and meter sequence below. The important evidence is G/E/C identification, gate charge/discharge behavior and C-E short/open status, not a full-page scan.

StepActionMeaning
1Identify G1/E1/C1 and G2/E2/C2.Wrong terminals invalidate all readings.
2Charge G-E using the high resistance range.The gate should respond like a capacitive control terminal.
3Measure C-E after charging.Temporary conduction can appear after gate charge.
4Short G-E to discharge, then re-test C-E.A permanent C-E short is a failed module.
5Repeat on the second transistor section.Both sections should behave consistently.
After any failed IGBT, test the driver branches before power-up.
After any failed IGBT, test the driver branches before power-up.

Do not stop at the IGBT

If the module failed, check the driver board, gate resistors, clamp parts, snubber network, rectifier bridge, output diode module and load path before applying mains power again.
