13. 4 When retaining the inverter out of operation

When retaining the inverter out of operation temporarily or for a long time, pay heed to the following points.

1.Keep the inverter in a well-ventilated place that is free from high temperature, high humidity, dust and metallic particles.

2.For the inverter whose printed circuit boards are covered with the charge-proof cover (black), don't remove the cover throughout retention. However, be sure to remove the cover before the inverter is turned on.

3.If the large-capacity electrolytic condenser mounted in the inverter is left without power supply for a long time, it deteriorates in the characteristic.

If the inverter won't be used for a long time, turn it on for 5 hours or more once every another years in order to recover the characteristic of the electrolytic condenser. At the same time, check operation status of the inverter. For turning on the inverter very seldom, it is recommended to use a step-up transformer to supply power at a low voltage first and to raise the voltage gradually.
