Power-On Test
With power applied to the drive, the DC bus shall be checked for correct voltages and currents. Incoming AC voltages shall be checked for proper amplitude and balance. The DC bus shall be checked for voltage and excessive ripple voltage. Output voltages shall be checked for amplitude and balance. All values shall be compared with previous results to assess the rate of deterioration. Contractor Technicians shall look for evidence of unusual vibration or noise.
Harmonic Filters
Components shall be inspected for integrity, insulation breakdown, and connections. Line voltages and currents shall be verified for proper balance. Load voltages and currents shall be verified for balance and amplitude. Currents and voltages at the capacitors shall also be checked for balance and integrity. Capacitors shall be inspected for bulging, leakage, loose connections, etc. Current harmonics shall be measured and verified.
