Reforming Capacitors Of The Power Modules; Disposal Of Packaging Materials And Components - ABB ACS580MV Hardware Manual

58 Transportation, storage and disposal
Observe the following to maintain spare parts in good condition and to keep the warranty
valid during the warranty period:
•
Keep spare parts in their original packaging.
•
Store printed circuit boards in anti-static bags or boxes.
•
Storage temperature range: -5 °C to + 55 °C (23 °F to 131 °F)
•
Storage place requirements:
•
Free of vibration and shock
•
Protected against dust, sand, vermin and insects
•
Free of corrosive gases, salt or other impurities that could damage electronic
equipment
•
Dry; no condensation
•
Relative air humidity: 5 to 85%
If in doubt whether the maximum allowed humidity is exceeded, protect the spare
parts by an external heater.
•
Ground yourself with a wrist strap before touching a component.
•
Put the component on a grounded working surface protected against electrostatic
discharges.
•
Hold the component only at the edge.

Reforming capacitors of the power modules

•
Power modules that are used as spare parts must be installed and operated in a drive
every 2 years in order to reform the capacitors and thus reduce the risk of a potential
hazard. For detailed information, go to ACS580MV PM capacitor reforming
instructions. (2UBB017371)

Disposal of packaging materials and components


Dispose of the packaging materials and the drive components at the end of the life time of
the drive according to the international and local regulations.
The main parts of the drive can be recycled to preserve natural resources and energy.
Product components and materials should be dismantled and separated.
Generally all metals, such as steel, aluminum, copper and its alloys, and precious metals
can be recycled. Plastics, rubber, cardboard and other packaging material can be used in
energy recovery. Printed circuit boards and capacitors need selective treatment according
to IEC 62635 guidelines. To aid recycling, plastic parts are marked with an appropriate
identification code.
Contact your local ABB distributor for further information on environmental aspects and
recycling instructions for professional recyclers.
