5.3Precautions for Maintenance and Inspection
PROTECTIVE FUNCTIONS
The transistorized inverter is a static unit mainly consisting of semiconductor devices. Daily inspection must be performed to prevent any fault from occurring due to adverse influence by the operating environment, such as temperature, humidity, dust, dirt and vibration, changes in the parts with time, service life, and other factors.
5.3.1 Precautions for maintenance and inspection
For some short time after the power is switched off, a high voltage remains in the smoothing capacitor. When accessing the inverter for inspection, switch power off. When more than 10 minutes have elapsed, make sure that the voltage across the main circuit terminals
5.3.2 Check items
(1) Daily inspections
∙Check the following:
1)Motor operation fault
2)Improper installation environment
3)Cooling system fault
4)Unusual vibration and noise
5)Unusual overheating and discoloration
∙During operation, check the inverter input voltages using a tester.
(2) Cleaning
Always run the inverter in a clean state.
When cleaning the inverter, gently wipe dirty areas with a soft cloth immersed in neutral detergent or ethanol. Note: Do not use solvent, such as acetone, benzene, toluene and alcohol, as they will cause the inverter surface
paint to peel off.
Do not use detergent or alcohol to clean the display and other sections of the operation panel
5.3.3 Periodic inspection
Check the areas inaccessible during operation and requiring periodic inspection. For periodic inspection, consult us.
1)Cooling system:･･･････････ Clean the air filter, etc.
2)Screws and bolts: ･････････ These parts may become loose due to vibration, temperature changes, etc. Check that they are tightened securely and retighten as necessary.
3)Conductors and insulating materials: Check for corrosion and damage.
4)Insulation resistance: Measure.
5)Cooling fan, smoothing capacitor, relay: Check and change if necessary.
