9.3 Cooling fan
The VFD’s cooling fan has a minimum life span of 25,000 operating hours. The actual life span
depends on the VFD usage and ambient temperature.
The operating hours can be found through P07.14.
Fan failure can be predicted by the increasing noise from the fan bearings. If the VFD is operated in a
critical part of a process, fan replacement is recommended once these symptoms appear. Spare fans
are also available.
9.3.1 Replacing the cooling fan
• Read and follow the instructions in Chapter 1 "Safety precautions". Ignoring the
instructions would cause physical injury or death, or damage to the equipment.
1. Stop the VFD and disconnect it from the AC power source and wait for at least the time designated
on the VFD.
2. Loose the fan cable from the clip (remove the shell for the VFDs of 380V 1.5–30kW).
3. Disconnect the fan cable.
4. Remove the fan.
