193111-050 MAINTENANCE 3. If capacitor is good, pointer will deflect, indicating capacitor is being charged, followed by a deflection in the opposite direction indicating partial discharge. If there is no deflection, capacitor is “open” and must be replaced. Also, if meter needle moves and stops at one value, replace capacitor.
193111-050 MAINTENANCE Troubleshooting DANGER: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD — Before checking electrical components, turn OFF and remove fuses of disconnect switch (supplying AC power to charger), disconnect battery, and check for voltage on capacitors. Discharge through insulated screwdriver if there is any reading. CAUTION: HIGH VOLTAGE FROM TEST EQUIPMENT can damage silicon diodes and other parts.

193111-050 MAINTENANCE Replace capacitor if can is ruptured or fails test. Refer to Capacitor Testing in Maintenance chapter. Check line voltage for connection to proper input voltage. Refer to Line Voltage Changeover instructions in Installation chapter. Check battery for one or more defective cells. Less than rated output on fully discharged battery (approximately 1/2 rated output) (3-phase chargers only) Check for either a shorted transformer, or wiring short circuit.
