Replacement of parts

The inverter consists of many electronic parts such as semiconductor devices.
The following parts may deteriorate with age because of their structures or physical characteristics, leading to reduced
performance or fault of the inverter. For preventive maintenance, the parts must be replaced periodically.
Use the life check function as a guidance of parts replacement.
Part name
Cooling fan
Main circuit smoothing capacitor
On-board smoothing capacitor
Relays
Main circuit fuse (FR-F840-04320(185K) or higher)

Output current: 80% of the inverter rating
NOTE
• For parts replacement, contact the nearest Mitsubishi FA center.
Displaying the life of the inverter parts
The inverter diagnoses the main circuit capacitor, control circuit capacitor, cooling fan, and inrush current limit circuit by itself
and estimates their lives.
The self-diagnostic warning is output when the life span of each part is near its end. It gives an indication of replacement time.
The life warning output can be used as a guideline for life judgment.
