7.1.1 Routine Inspection Items
Inuence of ambient temperature, humidity, dust and vibration will cause aging of components in the AC drive,
which may cause potential faults or reduce the product life. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out routine and
periodic maintenance. More frequent inspection will be required if it is used in harsh environments, such as:
High ambient temperature;
Frequent starting and stopping;
Fluctuations in the AC power supply or load;
Excessive vibrations or shock loading;
Dust, metal dust, salt, sulfuric acid, chlorine atmospheres;
Poor storage conditions.
Check the following items routine to avoid deterioration in performance or product. Copy this checklist and sign
the "Checked" column after each inspection.
Inspection
Item
Inspection Points Solutions Checked
Motor
Inspect whether abnormal
oscillation or noise exists.
● Check mechanical connections.
● Check power phases of the motor.
● Tighten all loose screws.
Fan
Inspect whether the cooling
fan of the AC drive and the
motor works abnormally.
● Check running of the drive-side cooling fan.
● Check running of the motor-side cooling fan.
● Check whether the cooling fan is clogged or dirty.
● Check whether ambient temperature is within the
permissible range.
Installation
environment
Inspect whether the
cabinet and cable duct are
abnormal.
● Check for input and output cables with insulation
damaged.
● Check for vibration of hanging bracket.
● Check whether copper ground bars and terminals
become loose or get corroded.
Load
Inspect whether the drive
output current exceeds the
drive or motor rating for an
extended period of time.
● Check for setting of motor parameters.
● Check for excessive load.
● Check for mechanical vibration (< 0.6 g on normal
condition).
Input voltage
Check main power supply
and control voltage.
● Adjust the input voltage to the permissible range.
● Check whether start of heavy load exists.
7.2 Periodic Inspection
7.2.1 Periodical Inspection Items
Always keep the AC drive clean. Clear away dusts especially metal powder on the surface of the AC drive, to
prevent dust from entering the drive. Clear oil dirt from the cooling fan of the AC drive.
