Siemens has developed a thermography-based analysis system for the diagnosis and repair of converter modules
The Siemens Division Industry Solutions has developed a system for analyzing frequency converter modules. Thermal images are recorded in order to investigate both defects and functioning parts of a module. These are then compared with corresponding images in a reference database. If sources of faults are identified, the test system automatically outputs recommendations for repairs and spare parts. This reduces the time required to diagnose
and repair frequency converter modules by up to 30 percent. That, in turn, not only reduces the expenditure on repairs and spare parts, but also enables realistic estimates to be made of the remaining service life and risk of the module failing.
