Life Prediction Function
The inverter has the life prediction function for the parts with lifetime. The lifetime prediction information can
be checked on the LED monitor. (The life prediction function can also issue early warning signals if the
lifetime alarm command
LIFE is assigned to any of the digital output terminals by any of E20 through E24
and E27.)
The predicted values should be used only as a guide since the actual service life is influenced by the
surrounding temperature and other usage environments.

End of life is judged when the
capacitance is 85% or lower
compared to the initial
capacitance at shipment
(See "[1] Measuring the
capacitance of main circuit
capacitor in comparison with initial
one at shipment" on the next
page.)

(Capacitance)
Main circuit capacitor capacity
calculation
Measures the discharging
time of the main circuit
capacitor during shut-down of
the main power and
calculates the capacitance.
End of lifetime is judged when the
capacitance is 85% or lower when
compared with the capacitance of
the main circuit capacitor under
user's standard operation
conditions (necessary to measure
at the time of start-up).
(See "[2] Measuring method of the
capacitance of the main circuit
capacitor at the power shut-down
under standard operating status"
on page 5-195.)

Voltage-applied time count to
the main circuit capacitor
Counts the time that the
voltage is applied to the main
circuit capacitor (main power
on time). In addition, the time
can be corrected by the

of main circuit capacitor.

It counts the period when the

printed circuit boards. In
addition, the elapsing time
can be corrected with the

Capacitance Measurement of the Main Circuit Capacitor (H42)
Calculating the Capacitance of the Main Circuit Capacitor
- The discharging time of the main circuit capacitor depends largely on the inverter's internal load
conditions, e.g. options attached or ON/OFF of digital I/O signals. If actual load conditions are so different
from the ones at which the initial/reference capacitance is measured that the measurement result falls out
of the accuracy level required, then the inverter does not perform measuring.
