Checking the inverter and converter modules
Preparation
• Disconnect the external power supply cables (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3) and motor cables (U, V, W). (The inverter and the converter
unit (FR-CC2) can be measured with those cables connected.)
• Prepare a continuity tester. (For the resistance measurement, use the 100 range.)
Checking method
Change the polarity of the tester alternately at a semiconductor device (transistor) on an electrical path between two terminals
among the inverter main circuit terminals R/L1, S/L2, T/L3, U, V, W, P/+, and N/- to check the electric continuity.
NOTE
• Before measurement, check that the smoothing capacitor is discharged.
• At the time of electric discontinuity, the measured value is almost ∞. When there is an instantaneous electric continuity, due to
the smoothing capacitor, the tester may not indicate ∞. At the time of electric continuity, the measured value is several to
several tens of . When all measured values are almost the same (although values may not be constant depending on the
tester type), it shows that there are no electrical paths with problems.
