Clean the Air Filters PowerFlex 6000T drives require a continuous, smooth airflow to cool the power components, and the isolation transformer to deliver stable and reliable operation of the equipment. Obstruction of the air filters is the main cause of poor cooling airflow.
IEC standards, refer to IEC 61800-5-1 Sec. 6.5 for MV Drives and IEC 60470 Sec. 10, IEC 62271-1 Sec. 10.4 for MV Controllers. The maintenance work for PowerFlex 6000T drives should normally be performed on a yearly cycle. This work is carried out by Rockwell Automation medium voltage drive customers.
Power Connection Inspection • Inspect PowerFlex 6000T drive, input/output/bypass sections, and all associated drive components for loose power cable connections and ground cable connections: torque them based on the required torque specifications.
Chapter 2 Preventative Maintenance and Component Replacement transformers, fuses, wiring, and so on; Causes could be corrosion, excessive temperature, or contamination. • Clean all contaminated components using a vacuum cleaner (DO NOT use a blower), and wipe clean components where appropriate. •...
Chapter 2 Preventative Maintenance and Component Replacement General Tasks Review Firmware and Hardware Verify the firmware revision in the device definition page on the integrated touch screen display (eHIM), and in the device info page or with parameters in Connected Components Workbench software. Contact Rockwell Automation to determine whether there are any enhancements or changes that are made to the Drive Hardware and Control that would be valuable to the application.
Chapter 2 Preventative Maintenance and Component Replacement • Provide information about operating conditions (environment, temperature, and so on) required for stable operation of the drive. • Obtain spare parts information from the customer to determine whether they have sufficient stock. Recommend the customer to purchase additional spare parts if necessary.
Chapter 2 Preventative Maintenance and Component Replacement Prepare Final Report The Rockwell Automation service engineer will provide a maintenance report to the customer based on the outcome of the maintenance work. All steps in the preventive maintenance process will be recorded in detail in the report and will identify changes that are made.
