7.3 Periodic Inspection
7.3.1 Periodic inspection 1--Before the inverter is powered ON or after it stops
running
Perform periodic inspection 1 according to the items listed in Table 7.3-1 Periodic inspection list 1. Before
performing periodic inspection 1, shut down the power and then remove the front cover.
It takes time for the main circuit DC part smoothing capacitor to dissipate even after turning OFF the power. To
eliminate any danger, wait until the charge lamp (CHARGE) has turned OFF, and use a device such as a tester to
ensure that the DC voltage has dropped to a safe level (25 VDC or less) before carrying out work.

Structural parts
such as frames,
covers
1) Is there any bolt looseness (at
secured parts)?
2) Is there any deformation or damage?
3) Is there any discoloration due to
overheating?
4) Is there any staining or dust
adhesion?
1) Retighten
2), 3), 4)
Visual inspection
1), 2), 3), 4) There
should be no
abnormalities.
(If any section is
stained, clean it with
a soft cloth.)
1) Are there any loose or missing bolts?
2) Is there any device or insulating
material deformation, cracking,
damage, or overheating, or any
discoloration due to degradation?
3) Is there any staining or dust
adhesion?
1) Retighten
2), 3)
Visual inspection
1), 2), 3) There
should be no
abnormalities.
(If any section is
stained, clean it with
a soft cloth.)
1) Is there any discoloration or distortion
of conductors due to overheating?
2) Are there any wire coating tears,
cracks, or discoloration?
1), 2) There should
be no abnormalities.
There should be no
abnormalities.
1) Is there any electrolyte leakage,
discoloration, cracks, or case
expansion?
2) Is there any safety valve protrusion,
and are there any smoothing
capacitors with significant valve
expansion?
1), 2) There should
be no abnormalities.
1) Is there an abnormal odor due to
overheating, or insulating material
cracks?
2) Are any resistors disconnected?
1) Olfactory and
visual inspection
2) Check the wires
visually, or
disconnect either
one of the wires
and measure the
conductivity with a
tester.
1) There should be
no abnormalities.
2) Within ±10 % of
the resistance of
the braking resistor
