*Perform a visual inspection, looking for burn marks, burnt components and blown traces before testing
*Before beginning testing please be sure the fuses in the drive are good
The following should be checked with the drive disconnected from AC power and the motor. Use the continuity (diode checking) function of your multi-meter. A short (indicated by a solid beep, not a momentary beep) on any of the below indicates a drive that is in need of repair.
Check for Shorts
