UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Transportation and Storage
The VFD should be stored in the shipping carton or crate before installation in a controlled environment that
meets the following requirements:
The performance of capacitors in the drive will degrade if not charged occasionally. It is recommended to
charge a stored drive every 2 years to restore the performance of the capacitors.
NOTE: If the VFD is kept in storage for longer than 2 years, when powering the drive, use an adjustable AC
power source (ex. AC autotransformer) to charge the drive at 70 to 80% of the rated voltage for 30 minutes
(do not run the drive). Then charge the drive at 100% of rated voltage for an hour (do not run the drive).
