overheating.

Check visually. There must be no abnormality
found.
Connecting
conductors and
cables
(1) Check the conductors for
distortion.

Check visually
There must be no abnormality
found.
(2) Check the cable insulations for
damage.

Terminal block Check the terminal blocks for damage.

Check visually There must be no abnormality
found.
Inverter circuit and
converter circuit
(including
resistors)
Check the resistance between
terminals.

Remove all cables from the inverter's
main circuit terminal block. Use a
tester (in 1Ω range mode) to measure
the following:
- Resistance between terminals R, S,
and T and terminals P and N
- Resistance between terminals U, V,
and W and terminals P and N
See Section 6.5, "Method of
Checking the Inverter and Converter
Circuits." Standard operating life of
power module(IGBT,IPM,Diode and
Thyristor ) until replacement: 10

cycles of starting and stopping (*3)
Analog tester
Smoothing
capacitor
(1) Check for liquid leak.  Check visually. There must be no abnormality
found.
Target operating life until
replacement: 10 years
(*1) (*3)
Capacitance meter
(2) Check that the relief valve does not
protrude or swell.

Relay (1) Check that no fluttering sound is
generated during the relay
operation.

Check by listening.
There must be no abnormality
found.
(2) Check the contacts for damage.

Check visually. There must be no abnormality
found.
Control
and
protective
circuits
Operation (1) While performing a unit operation
of the inverter, check the balance
output voltage among the
individual phases.

Measure the voltage between the
cables connected to the main circuit
terminals U, V, and W. The inter-phase voltage balance
must be as follows:
200 V class models: 4 V or less
400 V class models: 8 V or less
Digital multimeter,
rectifier
instrument, and
voltmeter
(2) Carry out a sequential protection
operation test, and check the
protective and display circuits for
any abnormality.

Short-circuit or open the protective
circuit outputs as a simulation.
An error must be detected
according to the sequence.
Cooling
system
Cooling fan (1) Check for abnormal vibrations and
noise

Turn the fan manually during the
inverter power-off status.
The fan must rotate smoothly. There
must be no abnormality found.

replacement: 10 years
(*2) (*3)
(2) Check the joints for loosening.

Check visually.
Heat sink Check for clogging.

Check visually. The heat sink must not be clogged.
Display Monitor (1) Check that all LEDs light up
normally.

Check visually.
The LEDs must light up normally.
(2) Clean the monitor.

Clean the monitor with a rag.
Meter Check that meter readings are normal.

Check the meter readings on the panel. The readings must meet the
standard and control values.
Voltmeter and
ammeter
Motor General (1) Check for abnormal vibrations and
noise.


*1 The operating life of the smoothing capacitor is under the influence of the ambient temperature. Refer to Section 6.6, "Smoothing-Capacitor Life Curve," as a standard for the operating life until
replacement.
*2 The operating life of the cooling fan varies depending on environmental conditions, including the ambient temperature and dust. Check the status of the cooling-fan operation during daily
inspections.
*3 The standard operating life (number of years or operation cycles) and the data described in Section 6.6, "Smoothing-Capacitor Life Curve," are based on the expected design life, but they do not
indicate the guaranteed life of any parts.
*4 When replacing to the capacitor stored for 3 years or longer, please have shakedown period as below.
Apply 80% of rated voltage for 1 hour.
Increase the voltage to 90% and keep for 1 hour.
Then apply rated voltage for 5 hours.
*5 In case fan is locked by dust or particle, it takes 5 to 10 seconds to restart even after the dust is removed.
