Power Section Check
Power Off Checks
To perform a power section check, remove the drive’s main and control wiring from the terminal
strips. Obtain reading as specified in the table on the next, and ensure that the reading falls within
the normal reading range.
Test equipment - Analog Ohmmeter set R x 1 scale or digital multimeter set to the diode.

Do NOT touch any circuit components while AC main power is on or immediately after the
main AC power is disconnected from the unit. You must wait until the red “CHARGE” lamp is
extinguished. It may take as long as 10 minutes for the charge on the main DC bus capacitors
to drop to a safe level. Failure to adhere to this warning could result in serious injury.

1. “+” could be any one of three (+) terminals which are labeled as

1,

2, and

3.
2. If the bus fuse is blown you must install a jumper across the fuse terminals to get accurate resistance measurements.
3. If the pre-charge resistor is open, you will read infinite W b and any output terminal unless you install a temporary jumper across the
resistor.
