DC Link Test (without Motor)

WARNING

There will be dangerous voltages present during this test!

1.Carefully read the safety instructions in the front of this manual and above and follow them.

2.Connect a variable DC power supply to DC+ and DC- terminals. Make sure that all polarities are correct.

3.Slowly charge up the DC link to nominal voltage. Allow the system to remain at this level for at least one minute and check current.

4.If possible, continue increasing the DC link voltage up to the trip limit. Fault F2 (see Table A-1) should occur at 911V DC (400 – 500V units) and at 1200V DC (525 – 690V units). Do not increase the voltage over the trip limit.

5.Bring the power supply voltage back to zero. Allow sufficient time for the capacitors to discharge.

6.Check the DC bus voltage with a multimeter. When you read zero volts, disconnect the power supply and reconnect all wires to the phase module.

7.If the phase module has been de-energized for an extended period of time (six months or longer) allow this voltage to remain for a minimum of 30 minutes — even 4 hours if time permits.

Through the above test procedure, two things are achieved: 1) It allows the caps to partially reform due to storage and shipping; 2) It allows any device failures to evidence themselves with a low power failure.
