Commissioning after a long storage time

If the converter 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 converter was not operational for longer than one year.
● If the date of manufacture of the converter 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 converters as shown below.
