5.1.4
Checking the inverter and converter modules
Preparation
• Disconnect the external power supply cables (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3) and motor cables (U, V, W).
• Prepare a tester. (For the resistance measurement, use the 100
Ω
range.)
Checking method
Change the polarity of the tester alternately at the inverter terminals R/L1, S/L2, T/L3, U, V, W, P/+, and N/- and check the
electric continuity.
NOTE
• Before measurement, check that the smoothing capacitor is discharged.
• At the time of electric discontinuity, the measured value is almost
. When there is an instantaneous electric continuity, due to
the smoothing capacitor, the tester may not indicate
. At the time of electric continuity, the measured value is several
Ω
to
several tens of
Ω
. If all measured values are almost the same, although these values are not constant depending on the
module type and tester type, the modules are without fault.
Module device numbers and terminals to be checked
(Assumes the use of an analog meter.)
5.1.5
Cleaning
Always run the inverter in a clean status.
When cleaning the inverter, gently wipe dirty areas with a soft cloth immersed in neutral detergent or ethanol.
NOTE
• Do not use solvent, such as acetone, benzene, toluene and alcohol, as these will cause the inverter surface paint to peel off.
• The display, etc. of the operation panel is vulnerable to detergent and alcohol. Therefore, avoid using them for cleaning.
