YASKAWA ELECTRIC TOEP C710616 38F YASKAWA AC Drive L1000A Quick Start Guide

Recommended Periodic Inspection

Table 41

outlines the recommended periodic inspections for Yaskawa drive installations. Although periodic inspections

should generally be performed once a year, the drive may require more frequent inspection in harsh environments or with
rigorous use. Operating and environmental conditions, along with experience in each application, will determine the
actual inspection frequency for each installation. Periodic inspection will help to avoid premature deterioration in
performance or product failure. Copy this checklist and mark the “Checked” column after each inspection.

Periodic Inspection

WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not inspect, connect, or disconnect any wiring while the power is on. Failure to comply can

result in serious personal injury. Before servicing the drive, disconnect all power to the equipment. The internal capacitor remains

charged even after the power supply is turned off. After shutting off the power, wait for at least the amount of time specified on the drive

before touching any components.

Main Circuit Periodic Inspection

General

• Inspect equipment for discoloration from

overheating or deterioration.

• Inspect for damaged or deformed parts.

• Replace damaged components as required.
• The drive has few serviceable parts and may

require complete drive replacement.

Inspect for dirt, foreign particles, or dust collection
on components.

• Inspect enclosure door seal if used.
• Remove foreign particles and dust by sucking

them out with a vacuum cleaner to avoid
touching parts.

• Replace components if cleaning is not possible.

Conductors and
Wiring

• Inspect wiring and connections for discoloration,

damage, or heat stress.

• Inspect wire insulation and shielding for wear.

Repair or replace damaged wiring.

Terminals

Inspect terminals for stripped, damaged, or loose
connections.

Tighten loose screws and replace damaged
screws or terminals.

Relays and
Contactors

• Inspect contactors and relays for excessive noise

during operation.

• Inspect coils for signs of overheating such as

melted or cracked insulation.

• Check coil voltage for overvoltage or

undervoltage conditions.

• Replace damaged removable relays contactors

or circuit board.

Braking Resistors

Inspect for discoloration of heat stress on or around
resistors.

• Minor discoloration may be acceptable.
• Check for loose connections if discoloration

exists.

Electrolytic
Capacitor

• Inspect for leaking, discoloration, or cracks.
• Check if the cap has come off, for any swelling, or

if the sides have burst open.

The drive has few serviceable parts and may
require complete drive replacement.

Diode, IGBT (Power
Transistor)

Inspect for dust or other foreign material collected on
the surface.

Remove foreign particles and dust by sucking
them out with a vacuum cleaner to avoid touching
parts.

Motor Periodic Inspection

Operation Check

Check for increased vibration or abnormal noise.

Stop the motor and contact qualified maintenance
personnel as required.

Control Circuit Periodic Inspection

General

• Inspect terminals for stripped, damaged, or loose

connections.

• Make sure all terminals have been properly

tightened.

• Tighten loose screws and replace damaged

screws or terminals.

• If terminals are integral to a circuit board, then

board or drive replacement may be required.
