Maintenance Instructions

22.10.19 Kapitel/Chapter 6: Maintenance Instructions - Seite/Page 115

Checking the electrical connections to the Capacitor

It must be ensured that the electrical connections to the capacitor are always tight fitting. Loose connections with

transitional resistance can mean that the contact surfaces will become heated externally. This can lead to faster

deterioration of the capacitors.
