Preventive maintenance for cutting overall maintenance costs
ABB recommends regular preventive maintenance of AC drives throughout their lifetime to ensure maximum availability, minimum unplanned repair costs.
With apt and timely performed preventive maintenance reliability of drives can be ensured and lifetime extended.
Drive preventive maintenance consists of annual drive inspections and component replacements according to product specific maintenance schedules.
Drive preventive maintenance is based on ABB’s extensive knowledge and experience in manufacturing and maintaining AC drives for more than 30 years and it takes environmental and operational conditions into account.
A detailed service report including recommendations for future actions is provided once the maintenance work has been completed and the inspection data fully analyzed. Service reports also help the equipment owner plan the use of the assets and finally migration to a new product. ABB offers drive maintenance on contract basis.
ABB drive service workshop services
Instead of performing preventive maintenance or repair on site, ABB recommends drive modules to be sent to an ABB drive service workshop for repair and reconditioning. If a drive module is to be sent to an ABB workshop for repair, it is practical to perform preventive maintenance using PM kits at the same time.
