This chapter describes the maintenance of a brake unit. Maintenance intervals The table below shows the maintenance tasks which can be done by the end user. The complete maintenance schedule is available on the Internet (www.abb.com/drivesservices). For more information, consult your local ABB Service representative (www.abb.com/searchchannels).
Performance of on/off-site work (commissioning, tests, measurements or other work) Replacement Maintenance and component replacement intervals are based on the assumption that the equipment is operated within the specified ratings and ambient conditions. ABB recommends annual drive inspections to ensure the highest reliability and optimum performance. Note: Long term operation near the specified maximum ratings or ambient conditions may require shorter maintenance intervals for certain components.
See the firmware manual for the actual signal which indicates the running time of the cooling fan. Reset the running time signal after fan replacement. Replacement fans are available from ABB. Do not use other than ABB specified spare parts. ■ Brake chopper cubicle WARNING! Wear protective gloves and long sleeves.

Internal cooling circuit 47 Internal cooling circuit Contents of this chapter The cooling system of a liquid-cooled drive consists of two circuits: the internal cooling circuit and the external cooling circuit. The internal cooling circuit covers the heat-generating electrical components of the drive and transfers the heat to the cooling unit. In the cooling unit, the heat is transferred to the external cooling circuit which is usually part of a larger external cooling system.

48 Internal cooling circuit Supply modules Inverter modules To/From cooling unit Air-to-liquid heat exchanger Heat sink Inlet valve Inlet-side drain valve Outlet valve Outlet-side drain valve The coolant used with ACS880 liquid-cooled drive systems is Antifrogen® L 25% or 50% water mixture.
Internal cooling circuit 49 Connection to a cooling unit ■ Connection to an ACS880-1007LC cooling unit Refer to ACS880-1007LC cooling unit user’s manual (3AXD50000129607 [English]). ■ Connection to a custom cooling unit General requirements Equip the system with an expansion tank to damp pressure rise due to volume changes when the temperature varies.
50 Internal cooling circuit Filling up and bleeding the internal cooling circuit Both the drive and coolant must be at room temperature before filling up the cooling circuit. WARNING! Make sure that the maximum permissible operating pressure is not exceeded. When necessary regulate the pressure to appropriate level by draining excess coolant out of the system.

Coolant type Antifrogen® L (by Clariant International Ltd, www.clariant.com) 25% or 50% water mixture, available from Clariant distributors and ABB Service representatives. Antifrogen® L 25% mixture is usable in storage temperatures down to -16 °C (3.2 °F). Antifrogen® L 50% mixture is usable in storage temperatures down to -40 °C (-40 °F).

Internal cooling circuit 53 The higher the concentration of heat transfer fluid, the higher the viscosity of the coolant. This results in a higher pressure loss in the system. See Pressure limits (page 54). The nominal current ratings of drive system modules apply to an Antifrogen® L / water solution of 25/75% (volume).
