• Check Diode Bridge/IGBTs: Use a multimeter in diode mode to check the DC bus positive and negative terminals against the input (R,S,T) and output (U,V,W) terminals to identify failed input bridges or output transistors.

• Inspect Environment & Cooling: Clean air filters and ensure cooling fans are operational.

• 2. Overload Relay Troubleshooting
