Drive Support

We start up new drives, reform the capacitors in drives that have sat on a shelf, and find out why a running drive keeps tripping. Most of the drives we work on are ABB and Allen-Bradley. We also work on other makes.

What we do

Drive startupAn engineer will check the installation and wiring, enter the motor data and parameters, run the motor tuning, test the start, stop, speed and safety inputs and the network connection, and run the drive with its load. You will get the final parameter file and a short startup report for your records.For when a new or replacement drive has been installed.
Capacitor reformingCapacitors in a drive lose condition when the drive sits unpowered. Powering it up straight away can damage it. We will reform the capacitors to the manufacturer's procedure before the drive goes into service, including spares on your shelf, so they are ready when you need them.For when a drive or a spare has been in storage for a year or more.
TroubleshootingWe will read the fault history, check the motor, cables, supply and settings, and fix the cause where we can on the visit. Line stopped now? Drive fault? Call 253-344-1523, or see VFD and PowerFlex faults.For when a running drive trips, faults or will not start.
