Preface
Phase 2 - Starts January 1, 2013, and Ending December 31, 2014
According to the ErP Directive, delivering the existing AC fan systems as spare
parts for PowerFlex 700H and 700S, frame 9 and larger, drives and PowerFlex
700AFE systems is allowed until the December 31, 2014 deadline within the EU.
DC fan systems are available as spare parts.
Phase 3 - Starts January 1, 2015
Use DC fan systems as spare part kits for PowerFlex 700H and 700S, frame 9 and
larger, drives, and PowerFlex 700AFE systems. DC fan system retrofit kits are
available for drives that were originally manufactured with AC fan systems.
AC fan system kits that were manufactured before January 1, 2015 can still be
used as a replacement spare part kit.
Fan System Replacement FAQs
Typical questions and solutions to fan system replacements can include:
Question Solution
Do all AC fans in a drive need to be replaced with a new DC
fan if only one has failed? It is recommended that a power structure always
contains the same type of fan system, either all AC or
all DC.
If only one AC fan inverter circuit board fails, can I replace
only the damaged board with a new one? Yes, if the other components of the AC fan unit are
functioning properly, you can replace the circuit board
only.
What does a DC fan kit include? This kit includes the DC fan assembly.
What does a DC fan circuit board kit include? This kit includes the DC fan power supply circuit board.
Are retrofit kits available? Kits are available to retrofit an AC to DC fan power
supply. These kits include the DC fan assembly, DC fan
power supply, fan inverter circuit board, all wire
harnesses, and required hardware.
