Spare capacitors
When using the spare part capacitors from stock and it is known that they
have been there over one year as voltage free, the re-forming of capacitors is
easiest to perform before capacitors are installed inside unit.
For loose capacitors, the DC-supply current limit is set to value 50…100 mA
and voltage is set up to rated value of capacitors. The degree of re-forming
process can be then followed by indication of the current meter of the DC
power supply. It is still recommended to keep voltage at least 1 h even that
leakage current is already stabilized earlier.
Note! Due high leakage resistance the dangerous voltage can remain in
capacitors long time. Discharge capacitors by using resistors after re-
forming.
In case re-forming is not done for loose capacitors, the re-forming has to be
done for complete frequency converter according to above instruction.
