No action -

1. Typical needed working time on the converter (does not include preparation, closing, waiting or traveling time).
2. The cooling pumps and fans can either be serviced by an authorized service representative or replaced.
3. The average lifetime of the deionizer is 2 - 4 years, depending mainly on the actual water quality. The micro filter should be replaced at
the same time as the deionizer. It is recommended to replace both when the actual conductivity reaches the alarm level, not preventively.
4. The expected life time of the capacitors depends mainly on the ambient conditions. The expected lifetime is about 200 000 hours. The
actual replacement should be based on the annual measurements, not on a fixed time schedule.
5. The printed circuit boards in the converter and the spare ones can be replaced by new ones or by refurbished ones.
6. Only the printed circuit boards need to be replaced. For the other spare parts no actions are needed.
7. Converter improvements based on development, software modifications etc.
8. According to preventive maintenance manual

Note! Recommended service intervals and component replacements are based on the ambient conditions specified by ABB. Please refer to the
service instructions and product manuals for more information.
