The manual for the Sencore LC103-STA260 provides detailed instructions on setting up and operating the system to dynamically and accurately test capacitors, inductors, and power semiconductors, including IGBTs and SCRs. It also covers troubleshooting techniques, such as pinpointing bad capacitors and inductors in-circuit and performing leakage tests up to 1000V to locate high voltage shorts.
Manual Overview
The Sencore LC103 and STA260 systems are designed for dynamic and accurate testing of capacitors, inductors, and power semiconductors, including IGBTs and SCRs. Troubleshooting involves using patented tests to identify issues such as open circuits, shorts, and shorted turns in inductors, as well as value discrepancies, equivalent series resistance (ESR), leakage, and dielectric absorption (DA) in capacitors. The systems provide in-circuit testing capabilities with an adjustable probe for surface mount components. Error diagnostics are facilitated by precise measurement ranges and accuracies, such as a capacitor range of 1pF to 20F with an accuracy of ±1% for values up to 1990uF. Calibration involves ensuring the accuracy of measurements, with specific tolerances outlined for each test type. The systems also support board-level guidance with accessories like out-of-circuit test leads and test lead mounting clips. For power components, the STA260 applies appropriate gate/base signals and performs leakage tests up to 1000V to detect high voltage shorts.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnose capacitor ESR and dielectric absorption issues.
- Perform in-circuit tests for shorts and opens in inductors.
- Trace schematics to locate high voltage shorts up to 1000V.
Overview
The Sencore Industrial Component Testing System is designed to dynamically and accurately test capacitors, inductors, and power semiconductors, including IGBTs and SCRs. It features exclusive patented tests for inductors and is the only tester on the market that dynamically analyzes capacitors out of circuit for four types of failures: value, equivalent series resistance (ESR), leakage, and dielectric absorption (DA). It also tests IGBTs, Triacs, SCRs, Diodes, FETs, and Bipolar transistors at full voltage, automatically applies the proper gate/base signal to turn on three-leaded power components, and performs leakage tests up to 1000V. The system includes in-circuit tests with the AP291 adjustable test probe and offers various specifications for testing capacitors and inductors.
