Chapter 12 - Electric Motor Drive Start-Up Procedures

Electric motor drive voltage is tested at the line power terminal strip, load power terminal strip and the control terminal strips. An insulation spot-test identifies a problem as either with the conductors to a motor or the motor windings. An ESD-safe vacuum with accessories is used to safely remove debris from an electric motor drive.
