5.7.17 Capacitor lifetime detection
Capacitors on main circuit may age and its capacity may reduce. This function is to detect capacitor service life in
main circuit and serve as a replacement standard.
Capacitor lifetime
detection
0: Off
1: When power is OFF, start to detect the lifetime of
capacitor on main circuit. After detection is finished and
power on this parameter value will change to 3.
Capacitor lifetime
detection level
Percentage of detection capacitance value and factory
detection value
Capacitor lifetime
detection result
Electrolytic capacitor abnormal.(less than 80% capacity
compared to test in factory)
Capacitor lifetime detection
Detect the aging degree of the capacitance of the main circuit..
No capacitor lifetime detection.
When the power is OFF, start to detect the lifetime of
capacitor on main circuit.
Capacitor lifetime detection is finished.
Control mode is not correct cannot detected(Not
in V/F mode)
detection process is forced to end(B,F,H)
An error occurs during the detection process(A,
C,G,E)
Detection percentage of capacitance life 06-25(P.709) is theoretical calculation result and can only be used as a
reference.
Capacitance tested in factory is 100.0%, if detection result 06-25(P.709) is less than 80%, then 06-26(P.710)=”1”. Digital
output terminals can also output alarm signal (set 03-10(P.40), 03-11(P.85) to 20)
Detection steps are as follows:
1. Check motor is connected.
2. When inverter is stop set 06-24(P.708) to 1 and cut off the power.
3. Inverter applies DC voltage to motor to measure capacitor capacity while inverter is OFF.
4. After power indicator is OFF, turn ON the power again.
5. Check that "3" is written in 06-24(P.708), read 06-25(P.709) to check aging degree of the main circuit capacitor.
Capacitance lifetime cannot be detected under the following conditions.
1. Terminals P/N is connected to DC power supply.
2. Power supply is switched ON during measurement.
3. Motor is not connected to inverter.
4. Motor is running (coasting).
5. Alarm occurs during capacitance detection process
6. Inverter output is shut off by MRS signal.
7. Motor capacity is two level or more smaller than inverter.
8. Start command is given while measuring.
