T.B details
Major components of Power
Pack are
i) Ignition Tranformer- 1No,
ii) Capacitors- 2Nos,
iii) Sparkgap- 1No,
iV) PCB (Printed Circuit Board)-1No
HOW TO CHECK THE
INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS
A. CAPACITORS

B. IGNITION TRANSFORMER

C. PCB

D. SPARK GAP
Capacitors checking procedure
1. Switch off the power supply to Power Pack and disconnect all
input connection to power pack. Ensure delay of minimum 5
minutes prior to check capacitor.
2. First short both connection of capacitor with insulated cable to
ensure capacitor is fully discharged. Ensure proper hand gloves
and precaution to work with high voltage.
3. Now select capacitance measurement on multi meter.
4. Now connect the capacitor terminal to the multi meter leads.
5. If reading is above 10.5μF, capacitor is in good condition. If value
is lower than 10.5 μF capacitor is getting weak.
6. If you read a significantly lower capacitance or none at all, then
capacitor is dead and you should replace it with new one.
Capacitor checking

Multimeter
 Ignition Transformer checking
1.Switch off the power supply to Power Pack and ensure the same.
2. Now isolate the transformer primary and secondary
terminations (by removing termination).
3. Now select resistance in your multi meter.
4. Check resistance across as below termination and note the
reading:
i) Blue and Red
ii) Blue and Orange
iii) Blue and Green
iv) Blue and Yellow
v) Black and Black
 Ignition Transformer checking

5. While checking the above cases from i, ii, iii & iv,
you should get the reading in between 22ῼ to
28ῼ. And case (v) you should get the reading is in
between 0.5Kῼ to 3Kῼ. If the reading in above
range value, then the transformer in good condition.
If any abnormal reading you should replace
with new transformer.
 PCB checking

PCB has consisted with Resisters (White-2nos &

Blue-1No), Diode and Inductor. For checking PCB,
we recommend to replace with new one and check
the spark.
SMP & Safety precautions
1) Disconnect the 230 V A C supply by removing
fuse TB in DCS panel & supply voltage to be
checked with the multimeter for ensuring no
voltage.
2) Proper de-energization of ignitor (DE
energising capacitor) should be done before
stating job ( wait for 20 minutes after power
removal)
3) Proper safety goggles should be weared in order
to prevent dust/air entrance in eyes.
SMP & Safety precautions
4) Ignitor should be kept on insulating wood while
checking spark outside of combustor.
5) Proper distance should be maintained while
checking spark online, No one should stand near
ignitor while spark checking maintain at least
distance of 4 feet from igniter rod
6) Proper communication with the DCS engineer
while giving command
( communication with help of IS mobile with shift
engineer)
SMP & Safety precautions

7) After completion of spark checking

Properly DE energising the ignitor and wait
for 20 minutes after power removal.
8) Ensuring proper sealing of JBs and cable
dressing, Proper support to cable after work.
