Maintenance and repair of inverter

Maintenance and Servicing of Frequency Converters - Sustaining Performance, Optimizing Operations

Inverter is widely used devices in industrial electrical systems, particularly in manufacturing plants. As inverter often operate in dusty environments and generate heat, regular inspections, maintenance, and cleaning are essential tasks.

Our team of technicians possesses in-depth knowledge of inverter, excellent practical skills, and years of experience in this field. They will inspect and assess the operational condition of the inverter, and proceed with maintenance, servicing, or repairs if necessary.

Common damages often occur when the inverter is not regularly maintained and cleaned:

- The inverter accumulates a lot of dust and oil, which can adhere to the circuit board and components, leading to explosions or fires.

- Moisture on the circuit board can cause short circuits and damage components.

- Dust buildup on the aluminum heat sink and inadequate ventilation from the fan can prevent proper cooling. As a result, the inverter operates at high temperatures, causing component aging, frequent malfunctions, or failures.

- When the inverter operates in an environment with conductive dust such as iron filings or coal dust, it can cause short circuits and explosions.

Why is regular maintenance of the frequency converter necessary?

       - Proactively prevent incidents that could disrupt the operation of the frequency converter.

       - Limit losses to a minimum level.

        - Ensure long-term quality and performance of the frequency converter.

         - Incidents are unavoidable without a regular maintenance plan and appropriate preventive measures. If they occur, they can become disasters.

The objective of regular maintenance and servicing of the frequency converter is to ensure that it operates stably and efficiently throughout its long-term operation. Here are some specific objectives:

  1. Protect internal components: Regular maintenance helps keep the internal components of the Siemens frequency converter operating correctly. This includes checking and protecting electrical components such as capacitors, resistors, circuitry, and circuit boards. By implementing maintenance measures, you reduce the risk of failures and ensure the longevity of the frequency converter.

  2. Ensure operational performance: Regular maintenance helps maintain the operational performance of the frequency converter. By inspecting and cleaning components such as cooling fans, heat sinks, and refrigeration systems (if applicable), you ensure proper cooling of the frequency converter. Additionally, inspecting and replacing filters helps reduce noise and interference, keeping the frequency converter operating stably and saving energy.

  3. Optimize stability and responsiveness: Regular maintenance helps optimize the stability and responsiveness of the Siemens frequency converter. This includes checking and adjusting operational parameters, including input frequency, output frequency, voltage, and current. By ensuring that the frequency converter is properly configured and calibrated, you ensure its efficient operation and compliance with system requirements.

  4. Increase reliability and prevent incidents: Regular maintenance helps detect early signs of potential issues or hidden failures in the frequency converter. This allows you to take repair or replacement measures before an incident occurs. By avoiding incidents and keeping the frequency converter operating stably, you increase reliability and reduce unwanted machine downtime.

Inverter Maintenance Procedure

The maintenance of the Inverter will be carried out following the steps as follows:

  1. Power off: Before proceeding with maintenance, ensure that the power supply to the Inverter has been completely turned off. This ensures the safety of the operator and reduces the risk of equipment damage.

  2. Check the operating environment: Examine the environmental factors surrounding the Siemens Inverter, including temperature, humidity, dust, and chemicals. Ensure that the operating environment meets the requirements of the Inverter.

  3. Inspect the cooling system: Evaluate the cooling components of the Inverter such as fans, heat sinks, and refrigeration systems (if applicable). Remove any dust and accumulated debris to ensure efficient cooling operation. If necessary, replace or maintain these components.

  4. Inspect and clean filters: Siemens Inverter often come with filters to reduce noise and interference. Check these filters and clean or replace them if necessary. This helps maintain performance and protect the internal components of the Inverter.

  5. Inspect and maintain power supply components: Examine electrical components such as capacitors, resistors, wiring, circuitry, and circuit boards. Check for any noise, voltage drops, or abnormalities. If any issues are detected, perform maintenance or repairs following the manufacturer's instructions

  6. Test and operate: After completing the basic inspection and maintenance steps, restart the Inverter and test its operation. Ensure that the Inverter operates stably and meets the operational requirements.

  7. Evaluate and record: After completing the maintenance process, record information about the performed activities and evaluation results. This helps track the maintenance schedule and carry out future maintenance tasks.
