Initial Information Gathering

Some of the important information to be recorded includes:

• Print Drive Setup
• Print Fault/Warning Queues
• Save Parameters to NVRAM
• Save Parameters to Operator Interface
• Circuit Board Part Numbers / Serial Numbers / Revision Letters*

(* This only needs to recorded if parts have been modified/changed since the last
PM activities)

Physical Checks

NO Medium Voltage and NO Control Power

• Power Connection Inspection:

– Inspect PF7000 drive, input/output/bypass contactor sections, and all

associated drive components for loose power cable connections and
ground cable connections: torque them to the required torque
specifications.

– Inspect the bus bars and check for any signs of overheating /

discoloration and tighten the bus connections to the required torque
specifications.

– Clean all cables and bus bars that exhibit dust build-up.
– Use torque sealer on all connections.

• Carry out the integrity checks on the signal ground and safety grounds.
• Check for any visual/physical evidence of damage and/or degradation of

components in the low voltage compartments.
– This includes Relays, Contactors, Timers, Terminal connectors, Circuit

breakers, Ribbon cables, Control Wires, etc.; Causes could be corrosion,
excessive temperature, or contamination.

– Clean all contaminated components using a vacuum cleaner (DO NOT

use a blower), and wipe clean components where appropriate.

• Check for any visual/physical evidence of damage and/or degradation of

components in the medium voltage compartments (inverter/rectifier,
cabling, DC Link, contactor, load break, harmonic filter, etc).

ATTENTION: To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the main power
before working on the drive. Verify that all circuits are voltage-free using
a hot stick or appropriate voltage-measuring device. Failure to do so may
result in injury or death.
