9.8.3 Reforming the Power Cell Capacitors

If a stored power cell has not been energized in the last 1 year, the electrolytic capacitors must be reformed. The reforming can be
done with an AC or DC supply.

9.8.3.1 Reforming with an AC Supply

Required equipment:
• Three-phase voltage regulator, 0–750 V AC, ≥500 VA
• MCB, ≥380 V AC (460 V AC), ≥20 A
-
During the reforming, observe whether there is any abnormal phenomenon. If there is anything abnormal, open the MCB
immediately.
Make sure that the wiring for the reforming is done correctly.
Check that the power cell fuses are OK.
If there still are problems, contact Danfoss for assistance.
Procedure
1. Isolate the power cell from earth ground and separate it from personnel. Make sure that no wires are connected to the
power cell output.
2. Connect the wires as shown in
the voltage regulator secondary winding to the power cell 3-phase input.

3. Close the MCB. Turn on the voltage regulator, and bring up the input voltage slowly to 30% of the power cell nominal
voltage (690 V AC). Maintain 30% voltage for 5 minutes.

4.
Slowly increase the regulator input voltage to 50%. Maintain the voltage for 10 minutes.
5. Slowly increase the regulator input voltage to 80%. Maintain the voltage for 15 minutes.
6.
Slowly increase the regulator input voltage to 100%. Maintain the voltage for 15 minutes.
7. Once the process is complete, decrease the voltage source to zero and open the MCB.
8.
Disconnect the voltage regulator from power cell and AC supply.
