Drive is broke...

[Jraef]

Major short in the power section, magic smoke came out.
Can anyone point to any issues with this installation?

Who was the Einstein who left the Aluminum stepladder in there & did someone try to get warranty service?

 

[zbang]

They used the wrong kind of ladder rack.

Be nice if that ladder had a contractor's or electrician's name on it... That's sabotage!

 

[ptonsparky]

I wonder if they are employed yet?

Replaced yet?

 

[bwat]

Were they trying to “step up” the voltage?

I see how to 'Like' or 'Haha', but how do I 'Groan'?

I am sure someone claimed it came this way from the manufacturer.

Everybody knows your supposed to only store wood ladders in a drive cabinet! LOL!

That is quite wrong. I see no reason not to store fiberglass ladders too. With both wood and fiberglass ladders there will be occasional metal parts. Probably more metal in a wood ladder than in a fiberglass ladder.

You could store tools in there, like this one..........

Why did AB ship an mcc with a used ladder on it?

 

[jusme123]

Wow, and they really couldn’t spare a little extra space between those main phase lugs? SMH

 

[Jraef]

I can’t get a decent answer from anyone as to why the ladder was there. I doubt it was an electrician with an aluminum ladder though. The drive is 500HP 18 pulse, but it’s toast now. The load lug arrangement is apparently a bush fix by the guy that installed it 10 years ago who didn’t like the original factory placement at the bottom. Now that I have bad knees, I can sympathize.

I'm guessing list price for a replacement is $50,000-$100,000 depending on how it's configured, what's the lead time on a 500HP 18-pulse drive? With downtime and installation that is one expensive ladder!

 

[cpickett]

Although those AB drives are tough, here's one that was showing 'ground fault', customer thought it was bad. Motor had a ground fault, new motor and it started right up!

They can’t wait for a new one, my team is going to rebuild it in the field by replacing just the inverter portion with a new one. We will not reinstall the ladder though.
