Recommended Replacement Periods and Periodic Replacement for
Preventive Maintenance
The recommended replacement period for preventive maintenance is greatly influenced by the application environment of the product. As a
guideline, the recommended replacement period is 7 to 10 years.*
To prevent failures or accidents that can be caused by using a product beyond its service live, we recommend that you replace the product as early
as possible within the recommended replacement period.
However, bear in mind that the recommended replacement period is for reference only and does not guarantee the life of the product.
Many electronic components are used in the product and the product depends on the correct operation of these components to achieve the original
product functions and performance.
However, the influence of the ambient temperature on aluminum electrolytic capacitors is large, and the service life is reduced by half for each
10
C rise in temperature (Arrhenius law).
When the capacity reduction life of the electrolytic capacitor is reached, the product failures or accidents may occur.
We therefore recommend that you replace the product periodically to minimize product failures or accidents in advance.
* The recommended replacement period applies under the following conditions: rated input voltage, load rate of 50% max., ambient temperature
of 40
C max., and the standard mounting method. (The fan is excluded for models with fans.)
This product model is designed with a service life of 10 years minimum under the above conditions.
