5.3.4 Insulation resistance test using megger

1) Before performing the insulation resistance test using a megger on the external circuit, disconnect the

cables from all terminals of the inverter so that the test voltage is not applied to the inverter.

2) For the continuity test of the control circuit, use a tester (high resistance range) and do not use the megger

or buzzer.

3) For the inverter, conduct the insulation resistance test on the main circuit only as shown below and do not

perform the test on the control circuit. (Use a 500VDC megger.)

5.3.5 Dielectric strength test

Do not conduct a dielectric strength test. The inverter's main circuit uses semiconductors, which may be

deteriorated if a pressure test is made.
