Preventive maintenance schedule

ACS1000
Overview
The recommended intervals for drive inspection and component replacement are based on the maximum
ratings for the operational and environmental conditions.
To ensure the highest reliability and optimum performance of your drive, ABB hightly recommends regular
inspections by qualified personnel. Such inspections are crucial in detecting performance related issues
due to the potential premature aging of components.
ABB drives have been designed to continuously operate for long periods of time between maintenance
and inspection intervals. If the recommended maintenance or inspection schedule is inadequate for a
specific application, a different schedule can be created through mutual agreement during the sales
phase.
This document is applicable for both cooling variants of ACS1000 – air-cooling and water-cooling. Some
inspection actions or replacement parts may be only applicable to one of the two cooling variants.

R Preventive replacement
Regular inspection
The following table contains an overview of the most relevant inspection checks for the drive.
ABB recommends that inspections be carried out whenever the drive has been shut down, i.e., to replace
components or for any other field intervention.
Inspection action Interval [years] Inspection
Type
Filter mats (cleaning or replacement) 21 I or R
Cleaning of inlet and outlet meshes 2 I
Cleaning of sensitive parts inside the converter 2 I
Environmental and operational data (since last inspection) 2 I
Screwed connections 2 I
Corrosion and overheating 2 I
Pipe joints and water tube connectors 2 I
3-way valve 2 I, P
DC link capacitors (capacity) 22 P
Door interlocking 2 P
Insulation test 4 P
Spare parts 2 I
Software backup 2 I
Safety circuits 2 I
Foot notes:
1 Inspection and replacement of filter mats depend on the ambient air quality, i.e. dustiness,
humidity. If the filter mat is clogged and the cooling air flow is not high enough, the drive
operation is stopped (drive trips). Under normal conditions, a cleaning/replacement interval
of 2 years is recommended. In harsh environments, a yearly cleaning/replacement interval
might be required.
2 First inspection in year 10 and then every second year.

Preventive replacement schedule

The following table highlights the recommended replacement intervals for drive components, starting
from the completion date of the commissioning3.
This scheduled can be adapted and optimized for applications that require non-stop operation of the
drive over several years. To discuss the available options, please contact your ABB sales representative.

Foot notes:
3 The start date for the preventive replacement schedule is the commissioning completion
date or 2 years after delivery, whichever comes first.
4 Due to the shorter life cycle of the control hardware, ABB strongly recommends combining
the main board upgrade (if available) with the 10-year preventive maintenance.
5 The mechanical seals in conventional water pumps have a maintenance interval of 2 years,
which corresponds to their life expectancy. In the case of pump redundancy, this
maintenance interval is doubled, i.e., every 4 years. The replacement of mechanical seals is
not required in the years that require pump replacement.
6 Since output filter capacitors are AC capacitors they do not have self-healing technology
and, as a result, do not show signs of reduced capacitance over their lifetimes, ABB
recommends preventively replacing these components.
The drive has been designed for a lifetime of 20 years. However, if the drive is operated according to ABB’s
instructions in a location where the environment parameters are below the rated limits for the drive, it is
also suitable for applications of up to 40 years. In order to guarantee the highest drive reliability during
this longer period, a site audit is required 20 years after commissioning to define the specific
maintenance actions that need to be taken.
