How to Maintain a Variable Frequency Drive?

http://www.powtran.net/faq.asp





How To Maintain a VFD





Do you know how to maintain Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)? Doing so is easier than you might think. By integrating some simple, logical steps into your preventative maintenance program, you can ensure your drives provide many years of trouble-free service. Before looking at those steps, let's quickly review what is a VFD and how it works?





A Quick Overview





A VFD controls the speed, torque and direction of an AC Induction motor. It takes fixed voltage and frequency AC input and converts it to a variable voltage and frequency AC output. See Training Note "What is a VFD?" for a more detailed description of VFD concepts and operating principles. In very small VFDs, a single power pack unit may contain the converter and inverter.





Fairly involved control circuitry coordinates the switching of power devices, typically through a control board that dictates the firing of power components in the proper sequence. A microprocessor or Digital Signal Processor (DSP) meets all the internal logic and decision requirements.





From this description, you can see a VFD is basically a computer and power supply. And the same safety and equipment precautions you'd apply to a computer and to a power supply apply here. VFD maintenance requirements fall into three basic categories:





keep it clean;


keep it dry; and


keep the connections tight.


Let's look at each of these.





Keep it Clean





Most VFDs fall into the NEMA 1 category (side vents for cooling airflow) or NEMA 12 category (sealed, dust-tight enclosure). Drives that fall in the NEMA 1 category are susceptible to dust contamination. Dust on VFD hardware can cause a lack of airflow, resulting in diminished performance from heat sinks and circulating fans (Photo 1).








Photo 1, Fan Injecting Dust into Drive Enclosure





Dust on an electronic device can cause malfunction or even failure. Dust absorbs moisture, which also contributes to failure. Periodically spraying air through the heat sink fan is a good PM measure. Discharging compressed air into a VFD is a viable option in some environments, but typical plant air contains oil and water. To use compressed air for cooling, you must use air that is oil-free and dry or you are likely to do more harm than good. That requires a specialized, dedicated, and expensive air supply. And you still run the risk of generating electrostatic charges (ESD).





A non-static generating spray or a reverse-operated ESD vacuum will reduce static build-up. Common plastics are prime generators of static electricity. The material in ESD vacuum cases and fans is a special, non-static generating plastic. These vacuums, and cans of non-static generating compressed air, are available through companies that specialize in static control equipment.





Keep it Dry





In Photo 2 you can see what happened to a control board periodically subjected to a moist environment. Initially, this VFD was wall-mounted in a clean, dry area of a mechanical room and moisture was not a problem. However, as is often the case, a well-meaning modification led to problems.





In this example, an area of the building required a dehumidifier close to the mechanical room. Since wall space was available above the VFD, this is where the dehumidifier went. Unfortunately, the VFD was a NEMA 1 enclosure style (side vents and no seal around the cover). The obvious result was water dripping from the dehumidifier into the drive. In six months, the VFD accumulated enough water to produce circuit board corrosion.








Photo 2, Corrosion on Board Traces Caused by Moisture





What about condensation? Some VFD manufacturers included a type of "condensation protection" on earlier product versions. When the mercury dipped below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the software logic would not allow the drive to start. VFDs seldom offer this protection today. If you operate the VFD all day every day, the normal radiant heat from the heatsink should prevent condensation. Unless the unit is in continuous operation, use a NEMA 12 enclosure and thermostatically controlled space heater if you locate it where condensation is likely.





Keep Connections Tight





While this sounds basic, checking connections is a step many people miss or do incorrectly - and the requirement applies even in clean rooms. Heat cycles and mechanical vibration can lead to sub-standard connections, as can standard PM practices. Retorquing screws is not a good idea, and further tightening an already tight connection can ruin the connection (see Sidebar).





Bad connections eventually lead to arcing. Arcing at the VFD input could result in nuisance over voltage faults, clearing of input fuses, or damage to protective components. Arcing at the VFD output could result in over-current faults, or even damage to the power components. Photos 3 and 4 show what can happen.





Loose control wiring connections can cause erratic operation. For example, a loose S|||This sounds like a laboratory project for physics or engineering. You might try to ask in engineering especially, as this is a very complex and long topic you've asked.

What methods and tools would have used to integrate and verify the compatibility of data bus equipment with?

[Compatibility testing and integration of DAIS multiplex bus equipments


Barber, G. W.; Rich, B. A.


In: NAECON '77; Proceedings of the National Aerospace and Electronics Conference, Dayton, Ohio, May 17-19, 1977. (A78-15551 04-33) New York, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., 1977, p. 743-748.


This paper describes the methods and tools to be used to integrate and verify compatibility of data bus equipment with the Digital Avionics Information System (DAIS) multiplex data bus. This includes definitions of DAIS multiplex bus compatibility, integration sequences, integration test software and test procedures. DAIS multiplex bus compatibility is defined for electrical, functional and system protocol considerations. The integration sequences described are stand alone, multiple unit and system level test. The integration test software described consists of a command generation program and the bus equipment diagnostic software. The test procedures describe how the test software is used at each stage of integration.

Car Stereo Problem - Sound loses volume, shuts down for a second, and then ramps up again?

I am attempting to fix my girlfriends car stereo. She has a 03 Toyota Corrolla, her friend installed a Blaupunkt cd player not sure the model I apologize, the problem is that you turn it on, and for a short while 10-15 minutes it run perfectly fine. Then the volume drops to a barley audible level, then the radio sounds like it clicks off for a second, and then is the voulme is extremely high. My one theory is that it may be that dirt has gotten in the inside, the unit did sit in a the trunk a while before it was installed. It interferes with the electronic field of the radio in the volume control, and shuts off due to a lack of a field, then shoots more power to it causing it be very loud, and then repeats that cycle till you turn it off.





Today I was going to try to get some non-conductive cleaner to open it and clean the head unit's insides. the second thing I was going to try is to is make sure all the wires are connected well.





Am I crazy, or does this sound ok?|||Hi


Is the unit new if so return it for a refund replacement..


If the sound dies then comes back loud it may be a cross wired on the speakers. Check to ake sure that the speakes are wired correctly.. Also check that the unit is wired correctly.. it could be pulling a lot of power .. over heating shutting down then restarting.. Could also be a short in the wiring....


But really it sounds like a faulty Unit.


Please post whether its just a problem when you se the Cd or if its the same with the radio.....


Also if CD does it do the same with all cds or certain ones... ( My cd player in the car had peoblems with a coupl of very lightly scratched CDs but was ok with badly scratched ones. )


I had to use one of those cd repair kits......|||most times i have seen this it is moisture on a circuit board

The first half deals with personal information, with the intent to segregate answers by category, I assume.





The other half deals with women in the military. Plain and simple, women do not belong in front line (all male) units of any kind at any time, but can serve in all other support and service support functions.





Furthermore, women and men are not equal in ability or the same in physiology and psychology, and should not be considered interchangeable. We absolutely must consider gender when assigning personnel, as this has a bearing on how each person might perform and affect the rest of the unit.





I hope, providing this survey is even real, that you come to the conclusion that men and women are different, should be different, and that it is these differences that make us who we are.

I'm concerned if my indoor cat will hear these sound waves while wandering through the house. Will these sound waves (in any way) HURT his hearing or other anatomical system?





Yes - I know it is better to let my cat take care of these random mice (which he occasionally does.) I am trying to help him gain some CONTROL on these many rodents before they create a LARGER problem indoors, like foraging in my dog's dry food container.|||You have a cat.

How come sometime one of 3 phase supply does not produce amp when running certain speed of VSD?

Situation: I have 5 unit SIEMEN VSD, all the time running 3 unit VSD, each of the incoming ampere carries R=33A, Y=35A, B=41A to control pressure A, but when running 4 unit VSD, you will notice 2 or 3 out of 4 unit one of the phase carries 0A (R=40A, Y=42A, B=0A) to control pressure A. However output secondary all carries balance load so no harm to the motor. Question is why this thing able happen? Is it due to load distribution? Is it due to voltage fluctuation affect the firing of power electronic component? Is it due to harmonic voltage high incure unstability of firing of power electronic component?|||Most variable frequency drives (VFD) have just a passive 3-phase rectifier in the input section. Each phase of the rectifier conducts for only a short time when the voltage is near the peak of the sine wave. The input current is often imbalanced due to slight voltage imbalance and/or differences in supply line phase impedances. When the VFD is lightly loaded, the current imbalance is most noticeable. However, one phase current dropping completely dropping to zero would indicate a serious supply voltage imbalance, a bad connection or a bad circuit breaker or contactor somewhere in the supply wiring.





If the VFD has an active input section such as a controlled rectifier, the problem could be due to a problem with firing.
