Table 7.2 Periodic Inspection Checklist
Inspection Area Inspection Points Corrective Action Checked
Main Circuit Periodic Inspection
General
• Overall check of the main power circuit and
ground terminals
Take appropriate actions (e.g., tightening loose
connections).
• Inspect equipment for discoloration from
overheating or deterioration.
• Inspect for damaged or deformed parts.
• Replace damaged components as required.
• The drive has few serviceable parts and may require
complete drive replacement.
• Inspect for dirt, foreign particles, or dust
collection on components.
• Inspect enclosure door seal if present. Replace
components if cleaning is not possible.
• Remove foreign particles and dust with a vacuum
cleaner to avoid touching parts.
Conductors and
Wiring
• Inspect wiring and connections for discoloration,
damage, or heat stress.
• Inspect wire insulation and shielding for wear.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring.
Terminals
• Inspect terminals for stripped, damaged, or loose
connections.
• Tighten loose screws and replace damaged screws or
terminals.
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.
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.
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 296 for
information on cleaning or replacing the cooling fan.
Heatsink
• Inspect for dust or other foreign material
collected on the surface.
• Remove foreign particles and dust with a vacuum
cleaner to avoid touching parts.
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.
• 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.
