! Checking the inverter and converter modules
<Preparation>
(1) Disconnect the external power supply cables (R(L
1
), S(L
2
), T(L
3
)) and motor cables
(U, V, W).
(2) Prepare a meter. (Use 100
Ω
range.)
<Checking method>
Change the polarity of the meter alternately at the inverter terminals R(L
1
), S(L
2
),
T(L
3
), U, V, W, P(+) and N(
−
), and check for continuity.
Note:1. Before measurement, check that the smoothing capacitor is discharged.
2. At the time of continuity, the measured value is several to several ten’s-of
ohms depending on the number of modules, number of parallel modules,
circuit tester type, etc. If all measured values are almost the same, the
modules are without fault.
