Mandatory

•The equipment must be inspected every day.

If the equipment is not inspected and maintained, errors and malfunctions may not be discovered which could lead to accidents.

•Before inspection, perform the following steps.

(1)Shut off all input power to the inverter.

(2)Wait for at least ten minutes and check that the charge lamp is no longer lit.

(3)Use a tester that can measure DC voltages (800V DC or more), and check that the voltage to the

DC main circuits (across PA-PC) does not exceed 45V.

Performing an inspection without carrying out these steps first could lead to electric shock.

•When using switchgear for the inverter, it must be installed in a cabinet.

Failure to do so can lead to risk of electric shock and can result in death or serious injury.

Be sure to inspect the inverter regularly and periodically to prevent it from breaking down because of the environment of use, such as temperature, humidity, dust and vibration, or deterioration of its components with aging.

14.1 Regular inspection

Since electronic parts are susceptible to heat, install the inverter in a cool, well-ventilated and dust-free place. This is essential for increasing the service life.

The purpose of regular inspections is to maintain the correct environment of use and to find any sign of failure or

malfunction by comparing current operation data with past operation records.
