Frequency converters are powerful devices that allow labs, manufacturing plants, and other industries to use electronics at different frequencies safely. Enabling the stable use of a device at 50Hz in a country that uses a 60Hz general frequency is beneficial for experiments, quality testing, and other practical processes. However, like any machine, you may encounter some of these common issues with your frequency converter. Identifying them may help you figure out how to fix them in the early stages.
Like nearly every other machine out there, frequency converters may overheat without proper ventilation or if you use them in a hotter environment. Many parts in both rotary and static frequency converters have temperature specifications, and exceeding these can lead to a shutdown or damage to your machine. Remember to use your frequency converter in a well-ventilated area with a proper distance between it and the walls. You may need to check the manual of your specific converter model to see what the exact temperature range is.
There may be times when your frequency converter has erratic problems and it’s more difficult to pin down an exact cause. In these situations, the problem is often either a burned-out frequency inverter or an external function that isn’t working as intended. There are several troubleshooting and maintenance tips for your frequency converter that may help determine the cause. Search around the device for any loose wires, burned-out parts, or components with cracks or other visible blemishes. Sometimes, a thorough inspection of the converter may help you identify the cause of the erratic operations.
A high bus fault is one of the more common external issues that can affect a frequency converter. A large voltage spike in the AC line can cause it to overload and trip the motor off. The frequency converter performs this action as a failsafe to try and prevent the voltage from burning out the internal components. You may need to reset your converter and add a regenerative power control circuit to prevent the problem from happening again.
