Recommended Periodic Inspection

Table 2.2

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.

n

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, disconnect all power to the equipment. The internal capacitor remains charged even after the

power supply is turned off. The charge indicator LED will extinguish when the DC bus voltage is below 50 Vdc. To prevent electric shock,

wait for at least the time specified on the warning label; after all indicators are OFF, measure for unsafe voltages to confirm the drive is safe

prior to servicing.

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 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.

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 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.

Circuit Boards

Check for any odor, discoloration, and rust. Make sure

connections are properly fastened and that no dust or oil

mist has accumulated on the surface of the board.

• Fix any loose connections.
• If an antistatic cloth or vacuum plunger cannot be

used, replace the board.

• Do not use any solvents to clean the board.
• Remove foreign particles and dust with a vacuum

cleaner to avoid touching parts.

The drive has few serviceable parts and may require

complete drive replacement.

Cooling System Periodic Inspection

Cooling Fan,

Circulation Fan,

Control Board

Cooling Fan

• Check for abnormal oscillation or unusual noise.
• Check for damaged or missing fan blades.

• Replace as required.

Refer to Drive Cooling Fans on page 169

for

information on cleaning or replacing the fan.

Heatsink

Inspect for dust or other foreign material collected on the

surface.

Remove foreign particles and dust with a vacuum

cleaner to avoid touching parts.
