normal?
Measure the voltage between the
O
terminals L1/R, L2/S, L3/T
Digital Multi-
Meter/Tester
Main Circuit
All
Megger check
(between the main circuit and the ground)
Are any fixed parts removed?
Are there any traces of overheating at each
component’s cleaning?
O
O
O
None. Consult Factory
Tighten the screws.
Visual check.

Check
Is there any unbalance between each phases
of the output voltage?
Nothing must be wrong with display circuit
after executing the sequence protective
operation
O
O
Measure the voltage between the
output terminals U, V and W.
Short and open the VFD
