[ 1 ] Measuring the capacitance of DC link bus capacitor in comparison with initial one
at shipment
When bit 3 of H98 data is 0, the measuring procedure given below measures the capacitance of DC link bus
capacitor in comparison with initial one at shipment when the power is turned OFF. The measuring result can be
displayed on the keypad as a ratio (%) to the initial capacitance.

1) To ensure validity in the comparative measurement, put the condition of the inverter back to the state at factory
shipment.
• Remove the option card (if already in use) from the inverter.
• In case another inverter is connected via the DC link bus to the P(+) and N(-) terminals of the main circuit,
disconnect the wires. It is not required to disconnect the DC reactor (optional), if any.
• Disconnect power wires for the auxiliary input to the control circuit (R0, T0).
• If the standard keypad has been replaced with multi-function keypad TP-A2SW (option) after purchasing
the inverter, return to the standard keypad.
• Turn OFF all the digital input signals fed to terminals ([FWD], [REV], and [X1] to [X9]) of the control circuit.
• If a potentiometer is connected to terminal [13], disconnect it.
• If an external apparatus is attached to terminal [PLC], disconnect it.
• Ensure that transistor output signals ([Y1] to [Y4]) and relay output signals ([30A/B/C], [Y5A/C]) will not be
turned ON.
• Disable the RS-485 and built-in CAN communications links.
If negative logic is specified for the transistor output and relay output signals, they are considered
ON when the inverter is not running. Specify positive logic for them.
• Keep the surrounding temperature within 25 ±10 °C.
2) Turn ON the main circuit power.
3) Confirm that the cooling fan is rotating and the inverter is in stopped state.
4) Turn OFF the main circuit power.
5) The inverter automatically starts the measurement of the capacitance of the DC link bus capacitor. Make sure
that “ . . . . ” appears on the LED monitor.
If “ . . . . ” does not appear on the LED monitor, the measurement has not started. Check the conditions
listed in 1).
6) After “ . . . . ” has disappeared from the LED monitor, turn ON the main circuit power again.
7) Select Menu #5 “Maintenance Information” in Programming mode and note the reading (relative capacitance
(%) of the DC link bus capacitor).
