Provides the IGD8 inverter-control interface inside the compatible high-power SIMOVERT assembly.
Key Information
6SE7038-6GK84-1JC2 is a Siemens spare inverter control module identified as IGD8 for specific SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES power sections.
Siemens identifies this execution for devices rated 500–690 V three-phase AC at 50/60 Hz and 675–930 V DC, in the documented 650 A and 1230 A classes. It must be selected against the complete host-device MLFB.
Functions
Supports the defined power-section gating and monitoring boundary for the documented voltage and current classes.
Maintains the exact 6SE7038-6GK84-1JC2 hardware identity during legacy drive service.
Enables controlled module replacement without treating similar IGD8 executions as universal substitutes.

Installation
- Back up the host drive configuration and record the complete 6SE70 MLFB and fault history before shutdown.
- Follow Siemens lockout, DC-link discharge and absence-of-voltage verification procedures for the high-power converter.
- Compare the removed module with 6SE7038-6GK84-1JC2 at every connector, fastening point and hardware marking.
- Use the documented post-replacement checks for gate control, power section and cooling before returning the drive to load.
Lifecycle
- 6SE7038-6GK84-1JC2 is managed as a spare for a legacy SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES installation.
- Plan availability, tested-exchange conditions and outage timing before removing a serviceable unit.
- Keep the removed module identity, host MLFB and test report for future reliability decisions.

FAQ
Can 6SE7038-6GK84-1JC2 replace another IGD8 module?
Only after the complete MLFB, voltage class, current class and host power-section documentation agree. IGD8 is a module family name, not an interchangeability statement.
What should be supplied with an enquiry for 6SE7038-6GK84-1JC2?
Provide the host converter MLFB and serial number, photographs of the removed module labels, rated current and DC-link voltage, plus the recorded fault sequence.
Is parameter transfer required when replacing 6SE7038-6GK84-1JC2?
Preserve a verified drive backup and follow the host service procedure. The complete commissioning state belongs to the drive system, not to the spare label alone.
What receiving inspection is suitable for 6SE7038-6GK84-1JC2?
Check the exact MLFB, connector and heatsink condition, evidence of repair, ESD packaging and the supplier test scope before the outage.
Should 6SE7038-6GK84-1JC2 be bench-energized separately?
Do not apply power outside a Siemens-approved fixture and procedure. It is a high-power drive subassembly intended for a compatible host.
