WARNING
DISCHARGE TIME!
Adjustable frequency drives contain DC link capacitors
that can remain charged even when the adjustable
frequency drive is not powered. To avoid electrical
hazards, disconnect AC line power, any permanent
magnet type motors, and any remote DC link power
supplies, including battery backups, UPS and DC link
connections to other adjustable frequency drives. Wait
for the capacitors to discharge completely before
performing any service or repair work. The amount of
waiting time is listed in Table 2.1. Failure to wait the
specified time after power has been removed before
doing service or repair could result in death or serious
injury.
