Capacitors

Reforming

The drive DC link capacitors need to be reformed (re-aged) if the drive has been
non-operational for more than one year. Without reforming, capacitors may be
damaged when the drive starts to operate. It is therefore recommended to reform the
capacitors once a year. See section
date of manufacture from the serial number shown on the drive labels.
For information on reforming the capacitors, refer to Guide for Capacitor Reforming
in ACS50/150/350/550 [3AFE68735190 (English)], available on the Internet (go to

Replacement

The drive intermediate circuit employs several electrolytic capacitors. Their life span
is from 35 000
Capacitor life can be prolonged by lowering the ambient temperature.
It is not possible to predict a capacitor failure. Capacitor failure is usually followed by
a input power fuse failure or a fault trip. Contact ABB if capacitor failure is suspected.
Replacements for frame size R5 and R6 are available from ABB. Do not use other
than ABB specified spare parts.

Control panel

Cleaning
Use a soft damp cloth to clean the control panel. Avoid harsh cleaners which could
scratch the display window.
Battery
A battery is only used in Assistant Control Panels that have the clock function
available and enabled. The battery keeps the clock operating in memory during
power interruptions.
The expected life for the battery is greater than ten years. To remove the battery, use
a coin to rotate the battery holder on the back of the control panel. Replace the
battery with type CR2032.
Note: The battery is NOT required for any control panel or drive function, except the
clock.
