PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

5.1.3 Daily and periodic inspection
Oil component of the heat dissipation grease used inside the inverter may leak out. The oil component, however, is not flammable, corrosive, nor
conductive and is not harmful to humans. Wipe off such oil component.
It is recommended to install a voltage monitoring device for checking the voltage of the power supplied to the inverter.
One to two years of periodic inspection cycle is recommended. However, it differs according to the installation environment.
Consult us for periodic inspection.
NOTE
• Continuous use of a leaked, deformed, or degraded smoothing aluminum electrolytic capacitor (as shown in the table above)
may lead to a burst, breakage or fire. Replace such capacitor without delay.

electrolytic
capacitor
(1) Check for liquid leakage. Contact the manufacturer.
(2) Check for safety valve projection and bulge. Contact the manufacturer.
(3) Judge by visual check
Relay/contactor
Check that the operation is normal and no
chattering sound is heard.
Contact the manufacturer.
Control
circuit,
protective
circuit
Operation check
(1) Check that the output voltages across phases
are balanced while operating the inverter alone.
Contact the manufacturer.
(2) Check that no fault is found in protective and
display circuits in a sequence protective
operation test.
Contact the manufacturer.
