What does our Reforming service offer you?

The scope of our Reforming service includes all services from the inspection of the frequency inverters for external damage, to the regeneration of the oxide layer of the DC link capacitors by stepless voltage increase, to the optional firmware update. Of course, we will also provide you with a service report containing any recommendations for action that may be required.

Your requirements

Ensuring the operational readiness
of frequency inverters in storage, thus reducing downtimes
Fulfilling the manufacturer’s requirements
according to operating instructions in relation to regular reforming of the DC link capacitors
Extension of inspection and maintenance activities
to also cover frequency inverters in storage

Our services

Inspection of the frequency inverters to check for external surface damage, dirt, and missing parts

Rapid and gentle regeneration of the oxide layer thanks to stepless increases in voltage and continuous condition monitoring of the DC link capacitors

Discharging the DC link capacitors

Clear labeling of the checked frequency inverters together with information about the next forming date

Creation of a service report including any necessary recommendations for action

Optional

Following consultation, a firmware update can be performed for SEW-EURODRIVE frequency inverters, if this is technically possible.

Your benefits

Increased system availability thanks to frequency inverters in storage that are ready for immediate use
Risk prevention e.g. during startup: No capacitor explosions and no damage to other components/assemblies
Avoiding the need to purchase replacements by reforming the frequency inverters in time
Ensuring auditing requirements are met e.g. proof and documentation of maintenance activities carried out
