Yeah, but the guy that posted on Mach 3 forums provided a link to an e-bay seller from where he got his replacements from. I traced it out, but the link was dead, so no help there.
Here's the forum link where I got all this from - Huanyang VFD controller plugin
It deals with communications and it's 32+ pages long!
Found it... How's this?Last edited by Malibu; 28th January 2013 at 09:39 AM. Reason: Added the link and a picture

That's where I've been getting my info too. Good to confirm that the IGBTs are FGA25N120ANTD. I just checked. RS have them for $6.80 ea before GST, here: -

That's a better price than buying a new inverter! Seems awfully cheap for RS too, unless they've gotten more competitive in the last few years?
It occured to me while I was looking around internet for the schematic and other bits and pieces, just how many of these drives must be out there! Some good reports, some bad and most of them to do with parameter settings. (half the hits were from the CNC forum here on WWF), but they look to be everywhere!
They seem to be an essential part of any CNC system, which makes sense for the price verses function features. I know when I've bought drives from SEW or Siemens over the years as an electrician, sometimes I'm staggered by the cost of the drives (which have only ever been 50hz outputs, except one, which was a high speed spindle drive from Germany... and the list price was $39k for that one...)

I found a source on eBay for 10 of there IGBTs for $25. Free postage.
I would like to have at least three on hand for any (inevitable) mishaps with one of my three inverters....
Does anyone want me to split this lot up and post some to you? $2.50 each plus $0.60 for local postage.
Just an idea.Cheers,
Joe

It's not just ebay. The company I work for recently wrote off 200k worth of assembled product because the manufacturer had sourced grey market components that didn't meet the datasheet specs (high speed BGA ADCs). Lawyers got involved, and it turned out cheaper to get them rebuilt, rather than reworked.

I'm the first to admit that this sort of stuff is a little above my knowledge base, although I might be able to muddle my way through it.
But looking at the circuit, if the zeners are open or shorted, would that give the 0 ohms reading across the E-C of Q 20? It would make a little sense for the voltage readings taken if that were the case, but I would have thought it more likely that the internal diode would have copped a belt, hence the 0 ohms.

Gotta agree with sjm and forp - for the cost of a few bucks, better to stick with the Fairchild originals.
For fast delivery, RS can't be beaten, but Mouser or Digikey are probably cheaper.

My eyes are at fault, I guess. Been having trouble with them lately, that's why I don't do any hands-on electronics any more. I could have sworn the short was E-G, not E-C. Sorry
Won't be the (zener) diodes. Either the junction or the inherent protection diode, as you say.

Thanks for the warning! On further search, they are available from all sorts of reputable electronics dealers at around the same price and closer to the RS price.
In any case, they are easily and cheaply available. No need to have stocks on hand after all.
I expected them to be difficult to get for some reason.
Also, I didn't twig that there were 6 in each inverter - I could only see three and assumed that there were 2 in each package. Wrong guess....Cheers,
Joe

My thanks to everyone who has kept this thread going. I wasn't able to reply because of the flooding. I only just got power back at 1 am last night.
I have some things to do, but soon as I can I will take off the IGBT and measure it again and replace it if necessary.Bob Willson
