03.
DC Motor Drives
04.
Soft Starters
05.
Servo Drives
06.
Legacy Drive Systems
Whether the equipment is current or legacy, we can help evaluate repair, replacement, retrofit, and modernization options.
What We Check During Drive Diagnostics
When a drive fault occurs, the drive itself is not always the root cause.
Our technicians evaluate both the drive and the equipment connected to it, including:
Our technicians evaluate both the drive and the equipment connected to it, including:
01.
Incoming Power Quality
02.
Drive Fault History & Parameters
03.
Motor Performance
04.
Cooling & Ventilation
05.
Signals & Communications
06.
Mechanical Load
Proper diagnosis helps prevent unnecessary parts replacement and repeat failures.
How We Troubleshoot Drive Problems
Effective drive troubleshooting requires more than reading a fault code. Our technicians follow a structured process to verify safe conditions, understand the application, gather operating data, test the system, and identify the most practical solution.
01.S is for Safety
Before testing begins, we verify safe operating conditions and protect both personnel and equipment from additional damage.
02.M is for Motor
We evaluate motor performance, insulation condition, and mechanical loading alongside the drive.
03.A is Application
We review how the drive is used and the conditions present when the problem occurred.
04.R is for Readings
Voltage, current, temperature, fault history, and operating data help identify the source of recurring problems.
05.T is for Testing
We test incoming power, drive components, communications, and connected equipment to isolate the failure.
06.S is for Solutions
Once the root cause is identified, we recommend repair, replacement, retrofit, or modernization based on the application.
Common Drive Symptoms
Drive systems are generally reliable, but symptoms often point to issues elsewhere in the machine, motor, power supply, or control system.
01.
Loose/Damaged Connections
02.
Cooling Fan or Overheating
03.
Semiconductor Failure
04.
Capacitor
Aging
05.
Program /
Parameter Issues
06.
Circuit Board Faults
Circuit board faults are possible, but they are not always the first place to start. Our technicians evaluate power quality, motor condition, cooling, parameters, and connected equipment before recommending repair.
When settings may be involved, we review operating history and available backups to determine whether restoring known working parameters could resolve the issue.
