Inspection Area Inspection Points Corrective Action Checked
Relays and Contactors
• Inspect contactors and relays for excessive noise during operation.
• Inspect coils for signs of overheating such as melted or cracked
insulation.
• Check coil voltage for over or under voltage conditions.
• Replace damaged removable relays contactors or circuit board.
Braking Resistors • Inspect for discoloration of heat stress on or around resistors.
• Minor discoloration may be acceptable.
• If discoloration exists check for loose connections.
Electrolytic (bus) Capacitors
• Inspect for leakage, discoloration, or cracks.
• Inspect the relief valve for swelling, rupture, or leakage.
• The drive has few serviceable parts and may require complete
drive replacement.
Diodes and IGBTs
• Inspect for accumulation of dust or other foreign particles on
components.
• Use dry air to clear away foreign matter.
•
Use a pressure of: 39.2 x 10
4
to 58.8 x 10
4
Pa (4 - 6 kg •cm
2
).
Motor Periodic Inspection
Operation Check • Check for increased vibration or abnormal noise.
• Stop the motor and contact qualified maintenance personnel as
required.
Control Circuit Periodic Inspection
General
• Inspect terminals for stripped, damaged or loose connections.
• Check for tightness.
• Tighten loose screws and replace damaged screws or terminals.
• If terminals are integral to a circuit board then board or drive
replacement may be required.
Printed Circuit Boards
• Inspect for unusual discoloration, burning or strange odor, noticeable
rust or corrosion, proper seating of connectors, dust, oil, or other
contamination.
• Re-seat loose connectors.
• Replace PCBs if wiping or vacuuming with anti-static vacuum
cannot clean the PCB.
• Do not use solvents on PCBs.
• Use dry air to clear away foreign matter. Use a pressure of 39.2
x 10
4
to 58.8 x 10
4
Pa (4 - 6 kg •cm
2
).
• The drive has few serviceable parts and may require complete
drive replacement.
Cooling System Periodic Inspection
Cooling Fan
• Check for abnormal oscillation or unusual noise.
• Check for damaged or missing fan blades.
• Replace as required.
• Refer to Drive Cooling Fans on page 261 for information on
cleaning or replacing the cooling fan.
Heatsink • Inspect for dust or other foreign material collected on the surface.
• Use dry air to clear away foreign matter.
•
Use a pressure of 39.2 x 10
4
to 58.8 x 10
4
Pa (4 - 6 kg•cm
2
).
Air Duct
• Inspect air intake and exhaust openings. They must be free from
obstruction and properly installed.
• Visually inspect the area.
• Clear obstructions and clean air duct as required.
LED Periodic Inspection
LEDs
• Make sure the LED lights correctly.
• Make sure various components operate properly.
• Inspect for dust or other foreign material that may have collected on
surrounding components.
• Contact your Yaskawa representative if there is any trouble with
the LED or keypad.
• Clean the LED.
Note: Periodic inspections should be performed every one or two years. The drive, however, may require more frequent inspection due to poor environments or rigorous use.
