Introduction
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are critical components in modern industrial automation – controlling motor speed, reducing energy consumption, and enabling precise process control. However, like any complex electronic equipment, VFDs are subject to faults, wear, overheating, and environmental stress. At K.V. Computer & Electronics (Paonta Sahib, H.P.), we specialise in VFD repair & maintenance services, helping industries restore functionality, minimise downtime and extend equipment life.
Why VFDs Need Professional Service
- A VFD contains power electronics (rectifier, inverter, DC link, control board) which are exposed to high voltages, heat and switching stress—over time components degrade or fail.
- Faults can be due to multiple causes: overvoltage or undervoltage supply, harmonic distortion, cooling failures, vibration, dust ingress or capacitors reaching end-of-life.
- Without expert diagnosis, replacing a drive can be costly; often a repair can restore functionality at a fraction of replacement cost. (Industry service providers report cost savings up to 80% compared to full replacement) UpFix+1
- Regular servicing (cleaning, checking cooling fans/heat sinks, firmware updates, capacitor checks) helps avoid unplanned shutdowns.
Our VFD Repair & Service Process
At K.V. Computer & Electronics, our workflow is designed for reliability and fast turnaround:
- Initial assessment & diagnostic
- You send or bring in the faulty VFD (or we inspect onsite).
- We check drive model, fault codes, input/output wiring, cooling system, visible damage.
- We record fault history and symptom details to guide repair.
- Repair plan & quotation
- Based on diagnostics, we identify the failed modules (for example: IGBT/inverter board, DC link capacitors, control board, cooling fan).
- We provide a repair estimate (parts + labour + testing) and expected timeline.
- Component replacement and rebuild
- We replace aged/failed components (caps, IGBTs, fans, fuse links) and inspect for board damage.
- Clean the drive, inspect solder joints, replace any burnt connectors or cables.
- Reassemble and ensure all mechanical/cooling aspects are restored.
- Functional & load testing
- Once repaired, we power up the drive in test mode, verify correct input/output behaviour.
- We simulate loaded motor conditions (if possible) to check stability under real-world load.
- Drive parameters are checked and reset where required.
- Return, installation support & commissioning
- The repaired VFD is returned with test report.
- We can provide assistance with on-site installation, linking to motor/control panel, setting parameters.
- We advise preventive maintenance checks to prolong life.

Preventive Maintenance Tips for Your VFD
To extend the life of your VFD and avoid unexpected downtime:
- Keep the drive clean: Dust and debris block heat sinks/fans → overheating.
- Ensure proper cooling: Ambient temperature should be within manufacturer spec; check fan operation, vents.
- Check input supply quality: Fluctuations, harmonics, voltage unbalance degrade drive life.
- Monitor capacitors and IGBTs: These are wear items—replace when nearing end-of-life.
- Perform parameter backups: Before any maintenance, save drive settings in case of control board replacement.
- Log faults and alarms: Early fault codes often hint at emerging failures (e.g., over-temperature, over-current).
- Schedule annual inspection: At least once a year, get the drive opened, cleaned, tested under load.
Case Example
(You can insert a short case study here based on your actual client work: e.g., “Recently we repaired a 37 kW drive for a cardboard-corrugation line, replaced degraded DC link capacitors, resolved frequent over-temperature shutdowns, resulting in restored 24/7 operation without replacement cost.”)
