PRODUCT SERIES/ MODE:
Model/ Description Part Number IGBT Kit Power Module
MultiMaster 260 (208/230 vac) 0558001513 0558003077 3 MOSFET (3 IGBT)

MultiMaster 260 (208/575 vac) 0558001514 0558003077 3 MOSFET (3 IGBT)
MultiMaster 260 (208/230 vac) 0558002370 0558003076 2 IGBT
MultiMaster 260 (208/230 vac) 0558002371 0558003076 2 IGBT
MultiPower 460 (230/460/575 vac) 0558002669 0558003077 3 IGBT
MultiPower 460 Pulse 0558002877 0558003077 3 IGBT
MultiPower 460 (Shipyard) 0558003402 0558003077 3 IGBT
AristoPower 460 (230/460/575 vac) 0558002668 0558003077 3 IGBT

SUMMARY:

Due to changes in the power component design on the MultiMaster 260 and the fact that we recommend the
IGBT’s be changed as a set, the MultiMaster 260 literature calls out for part number 0558002557 as a single
IGBT but does not indicate the number of IGBT’s to order. New part numbers have been issued depending
on the number of IGBT’s required.

OPERATIONAL IMPACT:

ACTION:

If needing part 0558002557 (IGBT replacement) for MultiMaster 260 "A" Series, order PN-0558003076.
(pair or 2 IGBT kit)

If part number 0558001533 (MOSFET replacement) for original MultiMaster 260, order PN-0558003077 as
the replacement part to replace the MOSFET’s with IGBT’s.
(triple or 3 IGBT kit)

For all MultiPower and AristoPower units (IGBT replacement) order PN-0558003077.
(triple or 3 IGBT kit)
