8-4 Insulation Test

Avoid testing an inverter with a megger because an insulation test is completed at the factory. If a megger test must be completed, proceed as described below. Use of an incorrect testing method may result in product damage.

If the specifications for the dielectric strength test are not followed, the inverter may be damaged. If a dielectric strength test must be completed, contact your local distributor or nearest Fuji Electric sales office.

(1)Megger test for the main circuit

Use a 500V DC type megger and isolate the main power before commencing measurement.

If the test voltage is connected to the control circuit, remove all connection cables to the control circuit.

Connect the main circuit terminals using common cables as shown in Fig. 8-4-1.

Execute the megger test only between the common cables connected to the main circuit and the ground (terminal G).

A megger indicating 5MΩ or more is normal. (This is the value measured with an inverter only.)

(2) Insulation test in the control circuit

A megger test and a dielectric strength test must not be performed in the control circuit. Prepare a high resistance range multimeter for the control circuit.

Remove all external cables from the control circuit terminals.

Conduct a continuity test between grounds. A result of 1MΩ or more is normal.

(3)Exterior main circuit and sequence control circuit

Remove all cables from inverter terminals to ensure the test voltage is not applied to the inverter.
