PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
6
Checking the inverter and converter modules
<Preparation>
(1) Disconnect the external power supply cables (R, S, T <L1, L2, L3>) and motor cables (U, V, W).
(2) Prepare a tester. (Use 100
Ω range.)
<Checking method>
Change the polarity of the tester alternately at the inverter terminals R, S, T, U, V, W, P and N <L1, L2, L3, U,
V, W, + and ->, and check for continuity.
<Module device numbers and terminals to be checked>
(Assumes the use of an analog meter.)
Note: 1. Before measurement, check that the smoothing capacitor is discharged.
2. At the time of discontinuity, due to the smothing capacitor, the tester may not indicate . At the
time of continuity, the measured value is several to several ten's-of ohms depending on the
module type, circuit tester type, etc. If all measured values are almost the same, the modules are
without fault.
