Periodic Maintenance - YASKAWA A1000 Technical Manual

7.3

Periodic Maintenance

The drive has Maintenance Monitors that keep track of component wear. This feature provides advance maintenance
warning and eliminates the need to shut down the entire system for unexpected problems. The drive allows the user to
check predicted maintenance periods for the components listed below.
For replacement parts, contact the distributor where the drive was purchased or contact YASKAWA directly.
• Cooling Fan, Circulation Fan, Control Board Cooling Fan
• Electrolytic Capacitors
• Inrush Prevention Circuit
• IGBTs
 Replacement Parts
Table 7.3 contains the estimated performance life of components that require replacement during the life of the drive.
Only use YASKAWA replacement parts for the appropriate drive model and revision.

<1> The drive has few serviceable parts and may require complete drive replacement.
NOTICE: Estimated performance life based on specific usage conditions. These conditions are provided for the purpose of replacing
parts to maintain performance. Some parts may require more frequent replacement due to poor environments or rigorous use. Usage
conditions for estimated performance life:
• Ambient temperature: Yearly average of 40°C (IP20/IP00 enclosure)
Yearly average of 30°C (IP20/NEMA 1, UL Type 1 enclosure, side-by-side mounting, finless drive or external heatsink installation)
• Load factor: 80% maximum
• Operation time: 24 hours a day

Performance Life Monitors Maintenance Monitors
The drive calculates the maintenance period for components that may require replacement during the life of the drive. A
percentage of the maintenance period is displayed on the digital operator by viewing the appropriate monitor parameter.
When the maintenance period reaches 100%, there is increased risk that the drive may malfunction. YASKAWA
recommends checking the maintenance period regularly to ensure maximum performance life.
Set parameters L8-12 (Ambient Temperature Setting) and L8-35 (Installation Method Selection) for use with the
installation environment when using maintenance monitors.
