Notes:
*1 - Only applies to air-cooled VFDs (i.e. "A" Frame and "B" Frame)
*2 - If filter supplied is not a washable type, replace filter. If filter supplied is a washable type, wash or replace (depending on state of filter).
*3 - Only applies to liquid-cooled VFDs (i.e. "C" Frame)
*4 - A 4 year replacement interval applies to 6 pulse or 18 pulse versions. Active Front End rectifiers have a 10 year rectifier snubber capacitor replacement interval.
*5 - Replace UPS batteries yearly for 50 deg. C rated VFDs
*6 - When rectifier snubber capacitors are replaced, the MV connections for rectifier need to be inspected.
*7 - When inverter snubber capacitors are replaced, the MV connections for inverter need to be inspected.
*8 - These components may be serviced while the VFD is running.
Rockwell Automation PowerFlex 7000 Preventative Maintenance Service Schedule
Rockwell recognizes that following a defined maintenance schedule will deliver the maximum product availability. By rigorously following this maintenance schedule, the Customer can expect the highest possible
uptime. This Annual Preventative Maintenance Program includes a visual inspection of all drive components visible from the front of the unit, resistance checks on the power components, power supply voltage level
checks, general cleaning and maintenance, checking of all accessible power connections for tightness, and other tasks. Please refer to Chapter 5 of the PowerFlex 7000 User’s Manual. All of these tasks are
described in great detail in Chapter 5.
I – Inspection
This indicates that the component should be inspected for signs of excessive accumulation of dust/dirt/etc. or external damage (e.g. looking at Filter Capacitors for bulges in the case, inspecting the heatsinks for
debris clogging the air flow path, etc.).
M – Maintenance
This indicates a maintenance task that is outside the normal preventative maintenance tasks, and can include the inductance testing of Line Reactors/DC Links, or the full testing of an isolation transformer.
R – Replacement
This indicates that the component has reached its mean operational life, and should be replaced to decrease the chance of component failure. It is very likely that components will exceed the design life in the drive,
and that is dependent on many factors such as usage, heating, etc.
C – Cleaning
This indicates the cleaning of a part that can be reused, and refers specifically to the door-mounted air filters in the liquid-cooled drives and some air-cooled drives.
Rv – Review
This refers to a discussion with Rockwell Automation to determine whether any of the enhancements/changes made to the Drive Hardware and Control would be valuable to the application.
RFB/R – Refurbishment/Replacement
The parts can be refurbished at lower cost OR the parts can be replaced with new ones.

GENERAL NOTES:
PERIODIC INSPECTION
Medium Voltage Motor control equipment should be inspected periodically. Inspection intervals should be based on environmental and operating conditions and adjusted as indicated by experience.
An initial inspection within 3 to 4 months after installation is suggested. Refer to the following standards for general guidelines for setting-up a periodic maintenance program.
For countries following NEMA standards, refer to National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Standard No. ICS 1.1 (Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation, and Maintenance of
Solid-Sate Control) for MV Drives and ICS 1.3 (Preventive Maintenance of Industrial Control and Systems Equipment) for MV Controllers.
For countries following IEC standards, refer to IEC 61800-5-1 Sec. 6.5 for MV Drives and IEC 60470 Sec. 10, IEC 62271-1 Sec. 10.4 for MV Controllers.
CONTAMINATION
If inspection reveals that dust, dirt, moisture or other contamination has reached the control equipment, the cause must be eliminated. This could indicate unsealed enclosure openings (conduit
or other) or incorrect operating procedures. Replace any damaged or embrittled seals and repair or replace any other damaged or malfunctioning parts (e.g., hinges, fasteners, etc.). Dirty, wet
or contaminated control devices must be replaced unless they can be cleaned effectively by vacuuming or wiping. Compressed air is not recommended for cleaning because it may
displace dirt, dust, or debris into other parts or equipment, or damage delicate parts.
PART-SPECIFIC NOTES:
COOLING FANS
Inspect fans used for forced air cooling. Replace any that have bent, chipped, or missing blades, or if the shaft does not turn freely. Apply power momentarily to check operation. If unit does not
operate, check and replace wiring, fuse, or fan motor as appropriate. Clean or change air filters as recommended in the Users Manual.
OPERATING MECHANISMS
Check for proper functioning and freedom from sticking or binding. Replace any broken, deformed or badly worn parts or assemblies according to individual product User Manuals. Check for and
securely retighten any loose fasteners. Lubricate, if specified in individual product instructions. Many devices are factory lubricated. If lubrication during use or maintenance of these devices is
needed, it will be specified in their individual product instructions and/or User Manual. Note: Allen-Bradley magnetic starters, contactors and relays are designed to operate without lubrication.
Do not lubricate these devices, because oil or grease on the pole faces (mating surfaces) of the operating magnet may cause the device to stick in the "ON" mode.
CONTACTS
Check contacts for excessive wear and dirt accumulations. Vacuum or wipe contacts with a soft cloth if necessary to remove dirt. Contacts are not harmed by discoloration and slight pitting.
Contacts should never be filed, as dressing only shortens contact life. Contact spray cleaners should not be used as their residues on magnet pole faces or in operating mechanisms may cause
sticking and can interfere with electrical continuity. Contacts should only be replaced after contact face material has become badly worn. Always replace contacts in complete sets to avoid
misalignment and uneven contact pressure.
VACUUM CONTACTORS
Contacts of vacuum contactors are not visible, so contact wear must be checked indirectly. Vacuum bottles should be replaced when:
1. The contactor wear indicator line shows need for replacement, or
2. The vacuum bottle integrity tests show need for replacement.
Replace all vacuum bottles in the contactor at the same time to avoid misalignment and uneven contact wear. If the vacuum battles do not require replacement, check and adjust overtravel to
the value listed in the product User Manual.
COILS
If a coil exhibits evidence of overheating (cracked, melted or burned insulation), it must be replaced. In that event, check for and correct overvoltage or undervoltage conditions, which can cause
coil failure. Be sure to clean any residue of melted coil insulation from other parts of the device or replace such parts.
BATTERIES
Replace batteries periodically as specified in product manual or if a battery shows signs of electrolyte leakage. Use tools to handle batteries that have leaked electrolyte; most electrolytes are
corrosive and can cause burns. Dispose of the old battery in accordance with instructions supplied with the new battery or as specified in the product manual.

PILOT LIGHTS
Replace any burned out lamps or damaged lenses. Do not use solvents or cleaning agents on the lenses.
SOLID-STATE DEVICES
-ATTENTION: Use of other than factory recommended test equipment for solid-state controls may result in damage to the control or test equipment or unintended actuation of the controlled
equipment. Refer to paragraph titled HIGH VOLTAGE TESTING.
Solid-state devices require little more than a periodic visual inspection. Discolored, charred or burned components may indicate the need to replace the component or circuit board. Necessary
replacements should be made only at the PC board or plug-in component level. Printed circuit boards should be inspected to determine whether they are properly seated in the edge board
connectors. Board locking tabs should also be in place. Solid-state devices must also be protected from contamination, and cooling provisions must be maintained - refer to paragraphs titled
CONTAMINATION and COOLING DEVICES. Solvents should not be used on printed circuit boards.
