Learning Protection Features
3 Set Pr-61 (CAP Diag) to “1” (Ref Diag). Then, the direct current set at Pr-60 (CAP DiagCurr)is
output.
• The capacitor diagnosis is only available when the inverter is stopped.
• If Pr-61is set to 1 (Ref Diag), the displayed value at Pr-63 reflects 100% of the measured
capacitance.
• If you plan to perform a capacitor diagnosis using Pr-61(CAP Diag), the initial capacitance
must be measured when the inverter is used for the first time. A capacitance measured on
a used inverter leads to inaccurate inspection results due to an incorrect reference
capacitance value.
4 Turn off the input to the inverter.
5 Turn on the inverter when a low voltage trip (LVT) occurs.
6 View the value displayed at Pr-63 (CAP Diag Level). When Pr-61 is set to “1” (Ref Diag), Pr-63
displays100% of the capacitance.

Inspecting the capacitor life and initializing the capacitance reference
Refer to the following instructions to inspect the capacitor life and initialize the capacitance
reference.
To perform a capacitor diagnosis, a capacitance reference must be measured and registered by setting
Pr-61 (CAP Diag) to 1 (Ref Diag) when the inverter is used for the first time. The measured reference
value is registered at PRT-63, and is used asthe reference for the capacitor life diagnosis.
1 On an inverter whose run time has reached the cumulated time for capacitor replacement,
set Pr-61 (CAP Diag) to 2 (Pre Diag).
