    CTRLPSB32-IGBT Phase Fuse Part Number Change PDF

    Uploaded by

    Ivan Alex Escobar
    This document provides instructions for part number changes for IGBT phase fuses. Originally, phase fuses were rated at 600A and came in matched pairs (Type P1). A new 300A fuse (Type P2) now comes singly to replace P1 fuse pairs. A third part (Type P3) was created to supersede P1 and provides two of the new P2 fuses. Key points are that P2 fuses can be mixed with P1 fuses but not within the same phase, and if any fuse blows it and its pair must be replaced. An FAQ section clarifies these instructions.

    I.

    Purpose:

    This service bulletin is designed to clarify the part number changes that have taken place with the
    IGBT Phase Fuses. The goal is to ensure that the correct part numbers are ordered in the correct
    quantities and to explain the apparent changes in rating identification on the fuses.

    II.

    Background:

    The phase fuses connect the positive side of the DC Link to the IGBT side of the phase module. They
    serve to isolate an inverter phase after a short circuit failure.

    III.

    Type P1: The original 600A types

    Originally, there was IGBT Phase fuse 41A296321BSP1. This fuse came as a pair of two in parallel
    with each other with a legibly marked current rating of 600amps. If for any reason one of the P1
    types is replaced, they must be replaced as a matched pair.

    IV.

    Type P2: The New 300A type

    The original 41A296321BSP1 fuse pair has been superseded by two of 41A296321BSP2 IGBT fuses.
    This fuse, 41A296321BSP2, is a single fuse that is legibly marked with a current rating of 300amps.
    The new requirement is that a quantity two 41A296321BSP2 should replace one 41A296321BSP1.
    The new 41A296321BSP2s are controlled so that the need to have matched pairs is no longer
    required. Additionally, a pair of these 41A296321BSP2s can be applied to an inverter phase even if
    other phases of that inverter have the 41A296321BSP1 type fuses. If, however, for any reason one of
    the P2s 300 amp fuses is blown, they must be removed as a pair as in P1 above.

    V.

    Type P3

    A new part number was also developed, 41A296321BSP3, to supersede the 41A296321BSP1. When
    ordering 41A296321BSP3, you will receive quantity two of 41A296321BSP2 fuses.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    The explanation above has been summarized in an FAQ below.

    Can 300amp (BSP2) pairs of fuses be used in an inverter phase when other
    phases have 600amp (BSP1)?

    A pair of 41A296321BSP2 fuses can be applied on an inverter phase even if


    other phases of that inverter have 41A296321BSP1 fuses.

    Can one replace a single blown 600A fuse of the type P1 only?

    In the unlikely event that only a single fuse blows out of a fuse pair, both fuses
    should be replaced regardless of whether the fuses are 41A296321BSP1 or

    Can a 300A BSP1 be mixed in the same phase as a 600A?

    No. The 300A and the 600A fuse should not be mixed in one phase.

    ?
    A

    Since two BSP2 Fuses replace each BSP1 Fuse, is it advisable to therefore
    double BOM on these parts?
    Yes.

    Since the BSP1 was superseded to the BSP3, which in turn was superseded to
    the BSP2, does that mean the BSP3 cannot be ordered?

    The BSP3 is still a real part and is orderable. 41A296321BSP3 simply calls for
    quantity 2 of 41A296321BSP2 fuses.
