ASDA-M Appendix B Maintenance and Inspection
Revision December, 2014 B-3
The lifetime of machinery parts
Dc Bus Capacitor
DC Bus Capacitor will be deteriorated by the affection of ripple current. Its lifetime is
determined by the surrounding temperature and operating conditions. If it is operating
in an air-conditioned site, its lifetime can up to 10 years.
Relay
The contact of switching power supply will wear and leads to poor contact. The lifetime
of relay is influenced by the power supply capacity; thus, the accumulative time of
switching power supply is about 100,000 times.
Cooling Fan
In continuous operation, the lifetime of the cooling fan is 2 to 3 years. However, if there
is any unusual noise or vibration during inspection, place a new one is a must.
