2.7 Routine Maintenance of 
inverter
2.7.1 Routine Maintenance 
The influence of the ambient 
temperature, humidity, dust and vibration will 
cause the aging of the devices in the inverter, 
which may cause potential fault of the inverter 
or reduce the service life of the inverter.  
Therefore, it is necessary to carry out routine 
and periodical maintenance on the inverter.   
NoteNote
 
The maintenance cannot be performed 
immediately because there still is high 
voltage on the filter capacitor after 
disconnecting the power. The repair or 
maintenance can be conducted only after 
the charge LED indictor is OFF and the 
bus voltage measured with multimeter is 
less than 36V.   
 
Routine inspection Items include:   
1) Whether there is any abnormal change 
in the running sound of the motor;   
2) Whether the motor has vibration during 
the running;   
3) Whether there is any change to the 
installation environment of the inverter;   
4) Whether the inverter heatsink fan 
works normally; 
5) Whether the inverter has over 
temperature;   
Routine cleaning:   
The inverter shall be kept clean all the 
time.  
The dust on the surface of the inverter 
shall be effectively removed, so as to prevent 
the dust entering the inverter.       
Especially the metal dust is not allowed.   
The oil stain on the inverter heatsink fan 
shall be effectively removed.   
2.7.2 Periodic Inspection 
Please perform periodic inspection on the 
places where the inspection is a difficult thing.   
Periodic inspection Items include:   
Check and clean the air duct periodically;   
Check if the screws are loosened;   
Check if the inverter is corroded;   
Check if the wire connector has arc signs;   
Main circuit insulation test       
Remainder: When using the megameter (DC 
500V megameter recommended) to measure 
the insulating resistance, the main circuit shall 
be disconnected with the inverter.  Do not 
use the insulation resistance meter to test the 
insulation performance of the control loop.    It 
is not necessary to conduct the high voltage 
test (which has been completed upon 
delivery).  
2.7.3 Replacement of Vulnerable Parts for 
Inverter 
The vulnerable parts of the inverter 
include cooling fan and filter electrolytic 
capacitor, whose service life depends on the 
operating environment and maintenance 
status.  General service life is shown as 
follows:  
Part name  Service Life 
fan  2 to 3 years 
electrolytic capacitor 4 to 5 years 
The user can determine the year of
