9. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
9.1. REGULAR INSPECTION OF THE INVERTER
Carry out a visual and mechanical check every month, to guarantee continuous reliable operation:
• Check the transformer fans by activating them manually using the mimic panel command.
• Make sure the cables are well secured. Thermal stress means that the screws may loosen over time. Tighten the screws if neces-
sary.
• Switch off the inverter (ch. 6).
• Check the connections, components and fuses, looking for any discolouration or damage. Discoloured components indicate
damage caused by heat or corrosion and must be replaced.
• Check for excessive dust on the cards. If necessary, contact an authorised SOCOMEC service centre to request machine cleaning.
• Use the designated holes to inspect the connections using an infrared thermal camera.
9.2. PREVENTIVE INVERTER MAINTENANCE
We must specify that the inverter should undergo regular specialist maintenance (on an annual basis), in order to maintain optimum
equipment efficiency while preventing system downtime and all associated damage and risks.
We recommend any preventive maintenance requirements which may be displayed automatically by the equipment via an alert/
warning message are observed at all times. All procedures carried out on the equipment must be only carried out by SOCOMEC
UPS personnel or by authorised support personnel.
Maintenance involves thorough operational checks of the various electronic and mechanical parts and, if necessary, the replacement
of parts subject to wear and tear. These parts typically include fans and capacitors.
Fans
The lifetime of the fans used to cool powered parts depends on the environmental and operating conditions (temperature, dust).
The average life of these components is 10 years.
WARNING!
Fan replacement can only be carried out by qualified personnel. If the fans need to be changed, they should be replaced
with a product which meets SOCOMEC specifications.
Capacitors
Electrolytic capacitors and filter capacitors are fitted inside the appliance; the life of these components depends on the environmental
and operating conditions, which is why we recommend they are replaced by authorised personnel as a preventive measure. The
average life of these components is 10 years.
The effective condition of the components is verified during the preventive maintenance visit.
