Medium Voltage Drive failures are costly, disruptive, and can be a safety hazard
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) failures cause considerable productivity and financial losses to businesses. In more critical applications, the consequences can even become more serious.
The costs associated with preventive maintenance, emergency services and downtime increase as the drive ages, especially when it reaches the middle of its useful life.
Each year, a single VFD costs an organization, on average:
$9K in Preventive Maintenance
$15K in Emergency Services
$100K in Downtime Losses
Over its 20-year lifespan, a drive will cost an average of $2.2 million in preventive maintenance, emergency services, and downtime
Introducing DriveScan: A revolutionary remote conditional monitoring system
DriveScan overcomes the limitations of standard factory drive monitoring and preventive maintenance by remotely detecting and alerting to severe events, intermittent and evolving problems, and by providing trends and event analysis to assist in failure prediction. It fully synchronizes monitoring of line and motor-side power, DC bus capacitor condition (patented), low voltage power supply outputs, and environmental conditions. DriveScan, is a safe and effective way to monitor the drives in real-time, while under operating conditions.
Installing DriveScan helps reduce downtime and emergency services costs by as much as 50%.
