Recommended Periodic Inspection

Table 6.2

outlines the recommended periodic inspections for Yaskawa converter installations. Although periodic

inspections should generally be performed once a year, the converter may require more frequent inspection in harsh
environments or with rigorous use. Operating and environmental conditions, along with experience in each application,
will determine the actual inspection frequency for each installation. Periodic inspection will help to avoid premature
deterioration in performance or product failure. Copy this checklist and mark the “Checked” column after each
inspection.

Periodic Inspection

DANGER! Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not inspect, connect, or disconnect any wiring while the power is on. Failure to comply can

result in serious personal injury. Before servicing, disconnect all power to the equipment. The internal capacitor remains charged even

after the power supply is turned off. The charge indicator LED will extinguish when the DC bus voltage is below 50 Vdc. To prevent

electric shock, wait for at least the time specified on the warning label; after all indicators are OFF, measure for unsafe voltages to

confirm the converter is safe prior to servicing.

NOTICE: Check the operation of the cooling fan only during inspections.

Main Circuit Periodic Inspection

General

• Inspect equipment for discoloration from

overheating or deterioration.

• Inspect for damaged or deformed parts.

• Replace damaged components as required.
• The converter has few serviceable parts and may

require complete converter replacement.

Inspect for dirt, foreign particles, or dust collection on
components.

• Inspect enclosure door seal if used.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt, but do

not allow it to come into contact with product
components.

• Replace components if cleaning is not possible.

Conductors

and Wiring

• Inspect wiring and connections for discoloration,

damage, or heat stress.

• Inspect wire insulation and shielding for wear.

Repair or replace damaged wiring.

Terminals

Inspect terminals for stripped, damaged, or loose
connections.

Tighten loose screws and replace damaged screws or
terminals.

Relays and

Contactors

• Inspect contactors and relays for excessive noise

during operation.

• Inspect coils for signs of overheating such as melted

or cracked insulation.

• Check coil voltage for overvoltage or undervoltage

conditions.

• Replace damaged removable relays, contactors, or

circuit board.

Electrolytic

Capacitor

• Inspect for leaking, discoloration, or cracks.
• Check if the cap has come off, for any swelling, or if

the sides have burst open.

The converter has few serviceable parts and may require
complete converter replacement.

Diode, IGBT

(Power

Transistor)

Inspect for dust or other foreign material collected on
the surface.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt, but do not
allow it to come into contact with product components.

Control Circuit Periodic Inspection

General

• Inspect terminals for stripped, damaged, or loose

connections.

• Make sure all terminals have been properly

tightened.

• Tighten loose screws and replace damaged screws or

terminals.

• If terminals are integral to a circuit board, then board or

converter replacement may be required.

Circuit Boards

Check for any odor, discoloration, and rust. Make sure
connections are properly fastened and that no dust or
oil mist has accumulated on the surface of the board.

• Fix any loose connections.
• If an antistatic cloth or vacuum plunger cannot be used,

replace the board.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt, but do

not allow it to come into contact with product
components.

• Do not use any solvents to clean the board.
• The converter has few serviceable parts and may

require complete converter replacement.
