16. Disposal of the inverter
Warning
Mandatory
• For safety's sake, do not dispose of the disused inverter yourself but ask an industrial waste
disposal agent (*).
If the collection, transport and disposal of industrial waste is done by someone who is not
licensed for that job, it is a punishable violation of the law. (Laws in regard to cleaning and
processing of waste materials)
(*) Persons who specialize in the processing of waste and known as “industrial waste product
collectors and transporters” or “industrial waste disposal persons.”
When disposing a used inverter, pay heed to the following points.
Blasting during incineration : There is a danger that electrolytic condensers used in the inverter may burst if it is
burnt in an incinerator, because electrolyte inside the condenser expands with heat.
Be careful of blasting of electrolytic condensers.
Plastics : Plastics used as covers of the inverter and so on generate poisonous gas when the inverter burnt. When
burning the inverter, be careful of such poisonous gas.
Disposing manner : Be sure to dispose the inverter properly as an industrial waste.
