16.2 Daily Inspection and Periodic Inspection
16.2.1 Inverter Inspection List
Check the ambient
temperature, level of
humidity, dust, … etc..
Refer to "Chapter 4
Installation".
The ambient temperature
and level of humidity are
within the operating
range.
There are no freeze,
condensation, dust,
corrosive gas, explosive
gas, flammable gas,
grinding fluid mist,
hydrogen sulfide and salt.
Thermometer,
Hygrometer,
Data logger
Check that there are no
abnormal vibrations or
noises.
Check visually and
auditorily.
Check that the main
circuit voltage is normal.
Measure the line-to-line
voltage of the inverter
main circuit terminals
[R/L1], [S/L2], and [T/L3].
Within the allowable AC
voltage fluctuation.
Multimeter,
Digital
multimeter
Check the resistance
between the main circuit
and the ground terminals.
(between main circuit and
ground terminals)
Remove all wires from the
main circuit terminal block
and control circuit terminal
block of the inverter. Then,
shortcircuit the terminals
[R/L1], [S/L2], [T/L3],
[U/T1], [V/T2], [W/T3],
[P/+], [PD/+1], [N/-] and
[RB], and measure between
this shortcircuited part and
the ground terminal.
Resistance no less than 5
MΩ.
500 VDC
class
ohmmeter
(megger®)
Check looseness in
tightening parts.
Check for overheating
traces.
Check for straining in
conductors.
Check for cable coating
damage.
Inverter and
converter
circuits
(including
resistors)
Check the resistance
between all the terminals.
Remove all wires from the
main circuit terminal
block of the inverter.
Then measure between
[R/L1]/[S/L2]/[T/L3] -
[P/+]/[N/-], and between
[U/T1]/[V/T2]/[W/T3] -
[P/+]/[N/-] in the 1 Ω
range.
Refer to "16.2.4 Checking
the Inverter and
Converter Section".

Check for capacitor fluid
leakage.
No abnormality.

Check that the relief valve
does not swell or protude.
No chatter sound while
operating.
Check contacts for
damage.
