ACS1000 AC drive
Preventive maintenance
ABB recommends maintenance for AC
drives throughout their lifetime in order
to ensure maximum availability and to
eliminate unplanned and unbudgeted
repair costs.
Drives preventive maintenance service
aims for increased reliability, optimized
performance and extended lifetime.
It consists of annual drive inspections
and component replacements according
to product specific maintenance
schedule.
Benefits
• Increased drive reliability
• Optimized maintenance costs and minimized
repair costs
• Easy-to-plan maintenance budget
• Extended drive lifetime
• Current and appropriate genuine spare parts
Service provides
Preventive maintenance service includes labor
and service parts to perform on-site mainte-
nance work according to the maintenance
schedule:
• Visual inspection of the electrical drive and
its environmental conditions
• Inspection of the fault logger
• Inspection of the drive parameters and the
optimization when needed
• Inspection of the power and control terminal
connections
• Inspection of the optic fibers
• Inspection of the cooling system
• ESD protected cleaning of the drive
• Functional inspection of the cooling system
and replacement of the parts
• Replacement of the batteries
• Inspection of the capacitors
• Inspection of the insulation, converter and
main transformer
• Inspection of the motor and main cables

Service Notes
Drives preventive maintenance is based on ABB’s extensive knowledge
and experience of manufacturing and maintaining AC drives for more
than 30 years and is taking environmental and operational conditions
into account. Qualified and certified drives specialists perform on-site
preventive maintenance work.
• Functional testing of the drive by running it
under normal conditions
• Inspection of the drive spare part inventory
A detailed service report including recommen-
dations for future actions is provided once the
maintenance work has been completed and
inspection data fully analyzed.
Ready-made preventive maintenance parts kits
are available at www.abb.com/partsonline for
component replacements marked as R on the
maintenance schedule.

extensive when the information provided is
thorough. This is especially true if the drive
has not been inspected and serviced annually
according to maintenance schedule.
ABB needs free access to the drive, which
must be available for maintenance at agreed
time during the shutdown. In order to reserve
resources and service parts needed, preventive
maintenance must be planned well in advance.
