Fig. 7-2 Insulation test of motor 
 Notes: 
Dielectric strength test of the drive has already been 
conducted in the factory. Do not do the test again, 
otherwise, the internal components might be damaged. 
7.3  Replacing Wearing Parts 
The components that are easily damaged are: cooling 
fan and electrolytic capacitors of filters. Their lifetime 
depends largely on their application environment and 
preservation. Normally, lifetime is: 
Components  Life 
Fan 3~40,000 hours 
Electrolyte capacitor  4~50,000 hours 
You can decide the time when the components should 
be replaced according to their service time. 
Cooling fan 
Possible cause of damages: wear of the bearing, aging 
of the fan vanes. 
Criteria: 
After the drive is switched off, check if abnormal 
conditions such as crack exists on fan vanes and other 
parts. When the drive is switched on, check if drive 
running is normal, and check if there is any abnormal 
vibration. 
2. Electrolytic capacitors 
Possible cause of damages: high ambient temperature, 
aging of electrolyte and large pulse current induced by 
rapid changing loads. 
Criteria: Check if frequent over-current or over-voltage 
failures occur during drive start-up with load. Check if 
there is any leakage of liquids. Check if the safety valve 
protrudes. Measure static capacitance and insulation 
resistance. 
7.4  Storage 
The following points must be followed for the temporary 
and long-term storage of drive: 
1. Store in locations free of high temperature, humidity, 
dust, metal powder, and with good ventilation. 
2. Long-term storage will cause the deterioration of 
electrolytic capacitors. Therefore, the drive must be 
switched on for a test within 2 years at least for 5 hours. 
The input voltage must be boosted gradually by the 
voltage regulator to the rated value. 
7.5  Warranty 
Emerson Network Power will offer warranty service in 
the case of the following situations: 
1.The warranty clause is only confined to the drive;   
2. Emerson Network Power will take the responsibility of 
18 months defects liability period for any faults or 
damages under the normal operation conditions. After 
18 months, maintenance will be charged;   
3. Even within 18 months, maintenance would be 
charged under the following conditions: 
4.Damages incurred to the drive due to incorrect 
operation, which are not in compliance with “User 
Manual”;  
②  Damages incurred to the drive due to fire, flood, 
abnormal voltage and so on;   
③  Damages incurred to the drive due to the improper 
use of drive functions;   
5. Service fee will be charged according to the actual 
costs. If there are any maintenance contracts, the 
contract prevail.
