SERVICE PLUG GRIP REMOVAL


  1. PRECAUTION

    CAUTION:


    • Before inspecting the high voltage system or disconnecting the low voltage connector of the inverter with converter assembly, take safety precautions such as wearing insulated gloves and removing the service plug grip to prevent electrical shocks. After removing the service plug grip, put it in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are working on the high voltage system.

    • After removing the service plug grip, wait for at least 10 minutes before touching any of the high voltage connectors or terminals. After waiting for 10 minutes, check the voltage at the terminals in the inspection point in the inverter with converter assembly. The voltage should be 0 V before beginning work Click here.
