Storage

The following paragraphs provide the necessary information for storage of SINAMICS
PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drives after completion of inspection. Storage information
includes, but is not limited to:
● Crated and/or wrapped equipment prior to installation.
● Installed, but not commissioned or operational equipment.
● Commissioned and operational equipment that will sit idle or not be used.
Storage
● Refer to the IEC Standards IEC 60721-3-1 table for ambient conditions for storage.
● Equipment cabinets or crates should sit flat on the deck or ground. If equipment elevation
or suspension is necessary, adequate support under the entire load is required.
● Siemens recommends equipment is stored in an environmentally controlled warehouse to
ensure specified environmental conditions can consistently be met.
● Equipment vents, louvers, and openings should be covered to protect ingress of moisture
and contamination if equipment removed from crate and protective packaging.
● Recommend use of full length tarps to completely cover equipment (crated or uncrated).
● If exposed to ambient conditions of high humidity or moisture, protective measures are
required. (Example: desiccant, dehumidifier, or temperature controlled strip heater)
● Maintenance may be required for extended periods of storage, or when exposed to extreme
environmental conditions.
● Liquid cooled units filled with liquid must have pumps running to circulate coolant during
extended periods of idle operation or storage.
Note
If the drive is de-energized (or in storage) for 24 or more months, the SINAMICS PERFECT
HARMONY GH180 cell electrolytic capacitors must be reformed.
Contact Siemens (800-333-7421) about reforming procedures. Unqualified personnel are
NOT permitted to reform cells as failure to follow reforming procedures may result in cell or
system damage.
