Commissioning after a long storage time

If the inverter was not operational for a longer period of time, it is possible that you must form
the DC-link capacitors before switching on.
Form the DC-link capacitors in the following cases:
● If the inverter was not operational for longer than one year.
● If the date of manufacture of the inverter was more than one year ago when commissioning
the drive system for the first time. The date of manufacture is coded in the serial number
(see the next paragraph).
You form the DC-link capacitors by connecting power to the inverters as shown below.
