(1) Cooling fan

The cooling fan used to cool heat-generating parts such as the main circuit semiconductors has a bearing whose life is said to be 10,000 to 35,000 hours. Hence, the cooling fan must be changed every 2 to 3 years if the inverter is run continuously. When unusual noise and/or vibration is noticed during inspection, the cooling fan must be changed immediately.
