Forming

CAUTION
If a unit has been non-operational for more than one year, the DC link
capacitors have to be newly formed. If this is not carried out, the unit
can be damaged when the line voltage is powered up.
If the unit was started-up within one year after having been
manufactured, the DC link capacitors do not have to be re-formed. The
date of manufacture of the unit can be read from the serial number
How the serial (Example: A-N60147512345)
number is made up
The following applies for the above example:
Manufacture took place in June 2001.
During forming, the DC link of the unit is connected up via a rectifier, a
smoothing capacitor and a resistor.
As a result, the DC link capacitors receive a defined voltage and a
limited current, and the internal conditions necessary for the function of
the DC link capacitors are restored.
