ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OF ELECTRICAL DRIVES

Major maintenance, troubleshooting and repair of drives should be left to a qualified technician, following the drive manufacturer’s recommendations.

However, routine maintenance can help prevent problems. Here are some tips:

• Periodically check the drive for loose connections or any other unusual physical conditions such as corrosion.

• Vacuum or brush heat sink areas regularly.

• If the drive’s enclosure is NEMA 1, be sure vent slots are clear of dust or debris.

• If the drive is mounted within a secondary enclosure, again be sure vent openings area clear and that any ventilation fans are operating properly.

• Unless it is otherwise necessary for major maintenance or repair, the drive enclosure should not be opened.
