• Signs for overheated components, wires, cables or busbars.
• Corrossion on electronic boards, connectors or busbars.
• Leaks in the water cooling system.

2.2 Cleaning

When cleaning inside the converter cabinets observe the following:

• The converter contains components which are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. Therefore, electrostatic-sensitive precautions
must be applied and suitable tools must be used when cleaning
boards and assemblies which are sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
Boards should be cleaned with special care using antistatic brushes
and a vacuum cleaner.
• Only use a vaccum cleaner with a soft nozzle.
• Dust inside the cabinets (assemblies, busbars etc.) can be removed
with a vacuum cleaner and lint-free cleaning cloths.
• Water, oily or greasy deposits on assemblies, components, busbars
etc. should be removed with water- and oil-absorbing microfibers
such as “3M Scotch Brite”.
• Use a nylon brush or a vacuum cleaner to remove dust or deposits
from holes.
• Do not use alcohol or solvents when cleaning inside the cabinets.
• Cover equipment to prevent dirt from falling into it.
• The outside of the converter enclosure can be cleaned using a
vacuum cleaner and cleaning cloths.

2.3 Verification of Software and EPLD Versions, Fault Logger and

Parameters

• Check if it is necessary to update the software or EPLD version. See

ACS 6000 Software Compatibility List for information.
If necessary, upgrade the EPLD to the recommended version.
• Save the content of the fault logger and clear the fault logger
afterwards.
• Save the parameters including parameter groups above 100 in txt or
dwp file formats.

2-2 (20) 3BHS214896 ZAB E01 Rev. A ACS 6000 Preventive Maintenance
ABB Chapter 2 - Inspection and Maintenance

Note, that with DriveDebug all parameters can be saved in one file but
with DriveWindows the parameters must be saved in two different
files. One file includes parameter groups 112 and 190 and the other
file includes all parameter groups above 100.
• If the old parameter file of the drive is available, compare it with the
current parameter settings using the compare function in
DriveWindows or DriveDebug and save the result of the comparison
in txt file format.
• Save the software in bpg or tar file format.

2.4 Inspection of Bolted Connections

2.5 Current-Carrying Connections

The inspection includes the following connections:
• Terminals of mains and motor cables.
• Busbar fastening bolts on the back of the converter.
• DC busbar joints
• Ground busbar joints

Recommended Make spot checks first. If several of the bolted connections are not
Procedure tightened properly, carry out or a more extensive check to be able to
decide whether all connections have to be checked.

2.9 Inspection of Fiber Optic Cables

2.9.1 Visual Checks

Check visually the condition of the fiber-optic cables. Note especially the
following:
• Cracks in core or coating of a fiber
• Minimum bend radius (25 mm)
• Condition of connectors (both male & female)
• Installation across sharp edges
• Tightening of cable ties
Cable ties must not deform the fiber-optic cable

2.9.2 Fiber Optic Links to be Tested

Via the following fiber optic links a continuous signal is transmitted if no
fault is present and no signal is sent if a fault has occured. These fiber
optic links can therefore be tested without unplugging the cable at the
transmitter, after the auxiliary voltage has been switched on and no fault
is present. The fiber optic cable is only disconnected at the receiver and
the attenuation of the link is measured with an optical power meter. If the
attentuation is not within the limit, the cable and the sender must be
checked separately.
Depending on the used type of fiber optic cable the measured attenuation
should be not be higher but preferably be below the following limit values:
Plastic fiber optic: -16 dBm
Hard clad silica fiber: -20 dBm

OEI Board (-A2951) in The OEI board is used to open the main circuit breaker if a fault condition
COU 1 occurs which requires the main power supply to be disconnected from the
converter. The OEI board receives the command to open the main circuit
breaker through a fiber-optic link from the master INT board.
To verify the attenuation of the fiber, disconnect the fiber optic cable from
the RX connector of the OEI board (see arrow in Figure 2-5) and measure
the light using an optical power meter.

2.13 Inspection of Capacitors

The power capacitors in the DC link are of self-healing design. Because of

their design the capacitance can decrease due to aging. Voltage and
temperature are the two main stress factors that influence the lifetime of
the capacitors. Less than 2 % reduction of capacitance from the capacitors
individual name plate value is allowed. The name plate value is not
necessarily identical with the manufacture value. The manufacture
tolerance is 0…+10 % of the nominal value.
The converter has also capacitors in the snubber circuit to protect the
rectifier diodes and in the clamping circuit to protect the inverter diodes.
The clamp capacitors are of self-healing design and therefore regular
measurements are recommended.
Refer to the Wiring Diagrams to identify the capacitors.
A capacitance meter is provided in the tool box of the converter.

2.13.1 DC Link Capacitors

Visual Inspection Visual inspection should be carried out in the intervals stated in the
maintenance schedule. Pay especially attention to leaking and bulged
capacitors. The capacitors can be bulged as much as 10 mm. If a
capacitor has expanded too much, it must be replaced by a new one.

Measurements The capacitance should be measured in the intervals stated in the

maintenance schedule.
For the measurement:
• If the manufacture value of a capacitor is not available, check if the
capacitance was recorded during commissioning. This value can be
used for reference.
• Disconnect the wires / busbars which connect the DC link capacitors
to the rectifier / inverter (see Figure 2-22).

2-18 (20) 3BHS214896 ZAB E01 Rev. A ACS 6000 Preventive Maintenance
ABB Chapter 2 - Inspection and Maintenance

Figure 2-22 CBU Front

• If available, record the serial number of each capacitor in the

inspection report.
• Connect the wires / busbars from the rectifier / inverter with the
marked tightening torque (see separate sticker on the capacitor). If
the tightening torque is not specified on the capacitor, use 20 Nm
tightening torque.
If the capacitance is more than 2 % off the manufacture value the capacitor
must be replaced.

2.14 Insulation Test

Perform the insulation test every 4th year on the converter, supply
transformer and motor. The power cables to the converter (incoming and
outgoing) need to be disconnected for the test.
For the measurement:
• Perform the test according to the ACS 6000 Commissioning Manual.
• Record the insulation resistance values of each measurement in the
inspection report.

1. Typical needed working time on the converter (does not include preparation-, closing-, waiting- or traveling-time)
2. The cooling pumps and fans can either be serviced by an authorized service-representative or completely replaced
3. The average lifetime of the deionizer is 2 - 4 years, depending mainly on the actual water quality, the micro filter should be replaced at the
same time as the deionizer, it is recommended to replace both when the actual conductivity reaches the alarm level, not preventively
4. The expected life time of the capacitors depends mainly on the ambient conditions, based on the maximum allowed temperature in the
converter, the expected lifetime is about 200 000 hours, the actual replacement should be based on the annual measurements, not on time
5. The printed circuit boards in the converter and among the spare parts can be replaced with new ones or replaced with refurbished ones
6. Only the printed circuit boards needs to be replaced, for the other spare parts are no actions needed
7. Converter improvements based on development, software modifications etc.

Note! Recommended service intervals and component replacements are based on the operational environment specified by ABB. Please refer to
service instructions and product manuals for more information.
