Planned maintenance for all your on-site VSDS

See our new repasting service to improve resilience on your ABB drives. We can repaste as part of your 6 years preventative maintenance, extending the lifecycle of your drive.

EDC offers an unrivalled care package to our DriveCare customers. When a variable speed drive is critical to your operation, DriveCare offers you the reassurance of having competent engineers to hand. Designed to prevent downtime and minimise it when it does happen, DriveCare is a programme of planned, preventative maintenance for your vsds. With scheduled maintenance intervals your drive will be serviced and consumables replaced, allowing you optimal performance and maximum energy savings. During their visits our engineers will ensure that connections are tight, the drives are ventilated and the units are free from dust/ moisture ingress. Parameters are checked and the drive is given an all-round functionality check. Our engineers will also issue recommendations & reports if required. We believe DriveCare is the best method of ensuring you achieve the full life-span of your drive and is one of the most worthwhile, beneficial contracts you will ever take out for your plant.
