Periodic and Preventive Maintenance
Bus —
For drives that are in storage and do not have a voltage that is applied,
maintenance of the drive product can also be required
(see
). For drives that are stored under 2 years, there is no additional
maintenance required. For storage greater than 2 years, see
for bus
capacitor reforming requirements.

Receptacles and Cable Connectors
— Check the tightness of all external
cable connections that are made to the quick connectors on the bottom

Duration
Reforming Guideline
Under 2 years
No reforming required.
2 …3 years
Apply rated voltage, per the normal method, for 30 minutes under no load.
Over 3 years
Using a DC power supply connected directly to the DC terminals of the product, ramp-up the volt-
age from 0…100% of DC bus voltage (as per
DC Bus Voltage Ramp-up Values) in incre-
ments of 50%, 75%, and 100% rated voltage, under no load, for 30 minutes at each increment.
See
for an illustration of this method.
