Maintenance42 Power Xpert Solar 1500/1670 kW Inverter MN141001EN—October 2014 www.eaton.comThe maintenance-schedule log shown in Appendix H (orsimilar) should have entries made to document when andwhat maintenance is performed by the qualified personnel.The maintenance log should include air filter cleaning orreplacement, inspection of the air inlets and air outlets forthe absence of foreign debris that could impede air-flow onthe outside of the inverter, internal and external componentand connection inspection inside and externally associatedwith the inverter.Air FiltersThe frequency of air filter maintenance will depend on thelocal environment in which the inverter is located.Dust-prone environments will require more frequent air-filtermaintenance. The following procedure may be used toaccess and perform maintenance on the air filter.One of the following procedures may be used to clean orservice the filters, after removal from the inverter.1. Vacuum the filter (material)2. Rinse the filter with a stream of water, and let the filtercompletely dry.3. Immerse the filter in a solution of warm soapy water,using a mild detergent. Rinse with clear water and letcompletely dry.4. Discard the filter, replace with new filter (material).Component InspectionAn annual inspection should be made on all components.Components, including bus-bars and connections should beinspected for the any sign of overheating and anaccumulation of foreign material on the component or insidethe inverter. To prevent damage to the inverter circuit-boardsand electronic components, use only ESD-free Vacuumequipment to clean inside the inverter, the air-filters ifin-place, and the radiator. Notice: Damage to componentsdue to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is not covered bywarranty.Connection InspectionAn annual inspection should be made on all electricalconnections and wiring.
