Annual Maintenance
As the name implies, these maintenance tasks should be performed on 
an annual basis. These are recommended tasks, and depending on the 
installation conditions and operating conditions, you may find that the 
interval can be lengthened. For example, we do not expect that torqued 
power connections will require tightening every year. Due to the critical 
nature of the applications run on MV drives, the key word is preventive. 
Investing approximately 8.0 hours per year on these tasks is time well 
spent in adding insurance against unexpected downtime. 
Initial Information Gathering
Some of the important information to be recorded includes:
Print Drive Setup
Print Fault/Warning Queues
Save Parameters to NVRAM
Save Parameters to Operator Interface
Circuit Board Part Numbers / Serial Numbers / Revision Letters*
(* This only needs to be recorded if parts have been modified or 
changed since the last Preventive Maintenance activities)

To prevent electrical shock, ensure the main 
power has been disconnected before working on 
the drive. Verify that all circuits are voltage free 
using a hot stick or appropriate voltage-measuring 
device. Failure to do so may result in injury or 
death. 
 
 
Physical Checks (NO Medium Voltage and NO Control Power)
Power Connection Inspection
Inspect PF7000 drive, input/output/bypass contactor sections,
and all associated drive components for loose power cable 
connections and ground cable connections: torque them to the 
required torque specifications. 
Inspect the bus bars and check for any signs of overheating /
discoloration and tighten the bus connections to the required 
torque specifications. 
 Clean all cables and bus bars that exhibit dust build-up. 
 Use torque sealer on all connections. 
Carry out the integrity checks on the signal ground and safety
grounds.
