Inverter drive repair
Avoid downtime with inverter repair and maintenance
While a variable speed drive is often given a different name: VSD, inverter, AC inverter, variable frequency drive etc. they and soft starts all manage the supply of power to an electric motor. Most are also service items that can benefit from regular maintenance to avoid performance and efficiency reduction or eventual failure.
If the worst happens and a drive fails, then it is worth considering an emergency repair, especially for legacy equipment where a direct replacement is not available off-the-shelf. Sulzer specializes in this service and can be contacted on the details below.
Since drives contribute to the efficiency of a plant or machine by matching motor speed to demand, any degradation in the drive can affect plant productivity and OEE (overall equipment effectiveness). Any open cooling apertures can let in a significant amount of dust, fans themselves have a limited life-span and even static cooling fins can become clogged with debris; all of which lead to overheating, reduced performance and eventually a stoppage.
To avoid this happening, Sulzer recommends developing a full facility-wide inventory of drives, highlighting critical parts of the plant and starting a program of regular maintenance and health-checks. The cost of a routine service can vastly outweigh any amount of unscheduled plant downtime, so a regular check-up is very wise.
Sulzer is a leading service provider for the repair and supply of all types of inverters, whether modern or obsolete (legacy systems). Regardless of what it is called by the manufacturer, we can restore the performance and functionality of AC Drives, Variable Speed Drive (VSD) or Adjustable Speed Drive (ASD), Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) or Adjustable Frequency Drive (AFD) inverters.
