Measurement of converter output voltage (across terminals P/+ - N/-)

The output voltage of the converter is developed across terminals P/+ - N/- and can be measured with a moving-coil
type meter (tester). Although the voltage varies according to the power supply voltage, approximately 540V to 600V
is output when no load is connected and voltage decreases when a load is connected.
When regenerative energy is returned from the motor during deceleration, for example, the converter output voltage
rises to nearly 800V to 900V maximum.

Insulation resistance test using megger

For the inverter, conduct the insulation resistance test on the main circuit only as shown below and do not perform
the test on the control circuit. (Use a 500VDC megger.)
CAUTION
• Before performing the insulation resistance test on the external circuit, disconnect the cables from all terminals of the
inverter so that the test voltage is not applied to the inverter.
• For the continuity test of the control circuit, use a tester (high resistance range) and do not use the megger or buzzer.

Pressure test

Do not conduct a pressure test. Deterioration may occur.
