ABB Adjustable Speed AC Drive ACS550-U1-221A-2

Fan lifted out and cable disconnected

The heatsink fins accumulate dust from the cooling air. Since a dusty heatsink is less efficient at cooling the drive, overtemperature faults become more likely.

In a “normal” environment (not dusty, not clean) check the heatsink annually, in a dusty environment check more often.

Clean the heatsink as follows (when necessary): 1. Remove power from the drive.

3. Blow clean compressed air (not humid) from bottom to top and simultaneously use a vacuum cleaner at the air outlet to trap the dust.

NOTE: If there is a risk of the dust entering adjoining equipment, perform the cleaning in another room.

Warning: Only trained personnel should perform this procedure
