60 Maintenance
Recommended annual maintenance actions by the user
ABB recommends that you do these annual inspections to ensure the highest reliability
and optimum performance of the inverter.
Recommended maintenance intervals
1) Always when inverter module is replaced, check the cleanliness and condition of power connection and heat
sink. Cleaning if needed.
2) Check the tightness of the main circuit terminals during commissioning. See the recommended tightness in
the Hardware manual. If the inverter installation conditions require, check the tightness more often. Obey the
local regulations.
