Should You Repair or Replace Your Inverter

Deciding whether to repair or replace your inverter is not as clear cut as you may think.

ABB Inverters are workhorses. They last and last. When an inverter breakdown does occur, it is usually at the worst possible time. When the pressure is on to find a solution, consider the following:

Is the inverter controlling a critical application?

If yes, then relieve the pressure by ordering a hire drive. IDS have a large stock of hire drives and will get one to you as quickly as possible. We can install and commission the hire drive and have you back up and running in no time! Click here for more on our ABB Hire Drives.

How old is the inverter?

Is the model obsolete, is this the right time to upgrade? Would the drive repair be cost inefficient? If you do experience an inverter breakdown call our 24/7 hotline 0115 944 1036 and speak to an engineer who can advise on the feasibility of a repair.

How to arrange an inverter repair

Should an inverter repair be the best option, then we can arrange for one of our engineers to repair your drive. For smaller inverters, we will fix this at our repair facility in Ilkeston Derbyshire, for larger drives we will conduct the repair onsite. Call 0115 944 1036.

How can you prevent an inverter breakdown?

Preventative maintenance is the key. As with all applications, a schedule of preventative maintenance will prolong the life not just of the drive but the motor too! IDS offer service contracts for all ABB inverters, the service is scheduled considering the environment and usage. All maintenance work is carried out by qualified and ABB trained engineers using ABB Maintenance kits.
