6.2 Periodic Inspection
6.2 Periodic Inspection
Electronic devices have a limited life and may exhibit changes in characteristics or performance deterioration after years
of use under normal conditions. To help avoid such problems, it is important to perform preventive maintenance on the
drive, including daily and regular inspections, and part replacement.
Drives comprise semiconductor parts such as IGBT devices (power transistors) and integrated circuits and electronic
components like capacitors and resistors, along with many parts such as fans and relays, and the proper functioning of
drives is dependent on the correct operation of all these parts.
Follow the inspection checklists provided in this section as a part of a regular maintenance program. Perform equipment
inspections at intervals of one year after installation.
Note: The drive will require more frequent inspection if it is used under harsh conditions, such as:
• High ambient temperatures
• Frequent starting and stopping
• Fluctuations in the AC supply or load
• Excessive vibration or shock
• Atmospheres containing dust, metal dust, salt, sulfuric acid, chlorine
• Poor storage conditions.
◆ Daily Inspection
Table 6. 1 outlines the recommended daily inspection for Yaskawa drives. Check the following items on a daily basis to
avoid premature deterioration in performance or product failure. Copy this checklist and mark the “Checked” column
after each inspection.
Table 6.1 General Recommended Daily Inspection Checklist
Inspection Category Details of Inspection Checked
Ambient Environment
Check the ambient temperature.
Check the humidity.
Check for toxic gas.
Check for adhesion of dust, oil mist, etc.
Equipment in General Check for abnormal vibration and noise.
