There are no abnormal sounds, vibrations, or odors.

There are no indications of overheating or discoloration.

Sign off on the daily Vector AC Drive inspection

Avoid megger testing on an drive since an insulation test was completed at the factory. If a megger test must be completed, proceed as described below. Incorrect testing methods may result in product damage.

If the specifications for the dielectric strength test are not followed, the drive may be damaged. If a dielectric strength test must be completed, contact your local distributor or nearest Fuji Electric sales office.

(1) Megger test for the main circuit

1. Use a 500V DC megger and isolate the main power before starting measurement.

2. If the test voltage is connected to the control circuit, remove all connection cables to the control circuit.

3. Connect the main circuit terminals using common cables, as shown in Fig. 8-4-1.

4. Perform the megger test only between the common cables connected to the main circuit and ground (Terminal ).

5. A megger indicating 5M Ohm or more is normal. (This is the value measured with only the drive connected.)

(2) Insulation test in the control circuit

Periodic inspections should be made after stopping operations, cutting off the power source, and removing the surface cover.

Note that after turning off the power, the smoothing capacitors in the DC section of the main circuit take time to discharge. To prevent electric shock, confirm with a multimeter that the voltage has dropped below the safety value (25 V DC or below) after the charge lamp(CRG) goes off.

• Start the inspection at least five minutes after turning off the power supply for inverters rated at 30 Hp or less. Wait at least ten minutes for inverters rated at 40 Hp or more. Check that the charge lamp (CRG) went off and that the voltage is 25V DC or less between terminals P(+) and N(-). Electric shock may result.

• Only authorized personnel should perform maintenance and component replacement operations. Remove metal jewelry such as watches and rings, and always use insulated tools.

• Never modify the drive. Electric shock or injury may result.
