Understanding performance of your drives
Systematic regular maintenance of drives helps ensure efficient operation and reduces the risk of failures. GE offers structured inspections and planned maintenance programs tailored to the operating environment of the drives. GE offers two types of preventive maintenance programs:
- Preventive “Performance” Maintenance (annual/ periodical), including basic visual inspections and performance checks of drives.
- Preventive “Major” Maintenance (once every 5 years), including advanced visual inspections and performance checks of drives and systematic replacement of parts.
The outcomes from preventive maintenance help you establish a baseline for future maintenance activities, increase plant availability, improve uptime and parts availability.
