Risk register
| ID | Area | Severity | Detail | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| r1 | thermal | high | The FNB33060T module dissipates significant conduction and switching losses at 1kW output, risking thermal shutdown if heatsinking is inadequate in an open-frame chassis. | Ensure proper thermal interface material (TIM) application, calculate worst-case junction temperature under overloaded V/Hz conditions, and allocate adequate extrusion heatsink area with airflow clearance. |
| r2 | emi | high | High dV/dt (fast switching edges from the SPM IGBTs) combined with open-frame construction can cause conducted and radiated EMI failures violating EN 61800-3. | Optimize PCB layout for minimum loop area on the DC bus and inverter outputs, include snubber networks or gate resistors if needed, and ensure proper grounding of the EMI filter common-mode choke. |
| r3 | power | med | Low-side shunt resistor layout parasitics and high dv/dt switching noise can inject severe common-mode spikes into the LM358 op-amp inputs, causing false OCP trips or erratic V/Hz control. | Use Kelvin connection routing for the shunt resistors, place RC filtering close to the op-amp inputs, and maintain clean separation between power ground and signal ground planes. |
Bring-up and Validation Plan
- Power-off inspection and rail resistance checks
- Current-limited first power-up; verify every rail before enabling loads
- Validate interfaces and timing one subsystem at a time
- Run thermal, fault-injection, EMC pre-scan, and endurance tests for the target environment
