354 Maintenance and hardware diagnostics
Cooling fan
The drive’s cooling fan has a life span of minimum 25 000 operating hours. The
actual life span depends on the drive usage and ambient temperature. Automatic fan
on/off control increases the life span (see parameter 1612 FAN CONTROL).
When the assistant control panel is in use, the Notice handler assistant informs when
the definable value of the operating hour counter is reached (see parameter 2901
COOLING FAN TRIG). This information can also be passed to the relay output (see
group 14 RELAY OUTPUTS) regardless of the used panel type.
Fan failure can be predicted by the increasing noise from the fan bearings. If the drive
is operated in a critical part of a process, fan replacement is recommended once
these symptoms start appearing. Replacement fans are available from ABB. Do not
use other than ABB specified spare parts.
Replacing the cooling fan (frame sizes R1…R4)
Only frame sizes R1…R4 include a fan; frame size R0 has natural cooling.
