Inspection And Maintenance; Regular Inspection - Toshiba VF-S15 Instruction Manual

14. Inspection and maintenance

Mandatory
action
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.

 The equipment must be inspected daily.
If the equipment is not inspected and maintained, errors and malfunctions can 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 at least 15 minutes and check to make sure that the charge lamp is no longer lit.
(3) Use a tester that can measure DC voltages (400V/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.

Criteria for judgment
1) Improve the environment if
it is found to be
unfavorable.
2) Check for any trace of
water condensation.
3) Max. temperature: 60°C
If something unusual is
found, open the door and
check the transformer,
reactors, contactors, relays,
cooling fan, etc., inside. If
necessary, stop the
operation.
To be within the rated
