zChecking the inverter and converter modules

<Preparation>

(1) Disconnect the external power supply cables (R, S, T) <L1, L2, L3> and motor cables (U, V, W).

(2) Prepare a tester. (Use 100Ω range.)

<Checking method>

Change the polarity of the tester alternately at the inverter terminals R, S, T, U, V, W, P and N <L1, L2, L3, U, V,

W, + and ->, and check for continuity.

Note: 1. Before m easurement, check that the smoothing capacitor is discharged.

2. At the time of continuity, the meas ured value is several to several ten’s-of ohms depending on the

module type, circuit tester type, etc. If all measured values are almost the same, the modules are

without fault.
