Check that the wire sizes are within terminal specifications and that the
terminals are tightened to the appropriate torque specifications. Refer to
tables 3.2 through 3.6.
Check that the user-supplied branch circuit protection is installed and
correctly rated.
Check that the incoming AC power is rated correctly.
Check the motor installation and length of motor leads.
Disconnect any power correction capacitors connected between the drive
and the motor.
Check that any motor thermal switch and the drive’s electronic thermal
overload are enabled (parameter F-15 = ON).
Check that the rating of the transformer (if used) matches the drive
requirements and is connected for the proper voltage.
Verify that a properly-sized ground wire is installed and that a suitable earth
ground is used. Check for and eliminate any grounds between the motor
frame and the motor power leads. Verify that all ground leads are unbroken.
Uncouple the motor from any driven machinery to initially start the drive.
6.2 Checking Drive Operation
ATTENTION: DC bus capacitors retain hazardous voltages after input
power has been disconnected. After disconnecting input power, wait five
(5)
minutes for the DC bus capacitors to discharge and then check the
voltage with a voltmeter to ensure the DC bus capacitors are discharged
before touching any internal components
Use the following procedure to check the operation of the drive:
Step 1.
Step 2.
Step 3.
Step 4.
Step 5.
Step 6.
Turn off, lock out, and tag power to the drive. Wait five minutes.
Remove the cover and check the DC bus potential with a voltmeter as
described in section 9.1. Verify that the DC bus capacitors are discharged.
Replace the cover.
Uncouple the driven equipment from the motor, if possible.
Apply power to the drive. SELF should be displayed for approximately 1 to 2
seconds to indicate internal diagnostics are being performed. After 1 to 2
seconds, 0 should be displayed and the LEDs should indicate drive status. If
any fault codes are displayed, refer to chapter 9, Troubleshooting Reference.
Check all parameter settings and verify that they are set correctly based on
the application. In most cases, the factory default values are adequate for
this no-load start-up test. Parameters are described in chapter 8.
Press the START key. The drive should ramp at the acceleration rate (F-01)
until it reaches the preset minimum speed (F-03).
