CONTROL TECHNIQUES VFD REPAIR & REFURBISHMENT

Unidrive SP repair and refurbishment.

Component-level repair for Control Techniques Unidrive SP drives. Contact us with your frame size and we will confirm scope.

Overview

Unidrive SP repair and refurbishment

The Unidrive SP is a high-performance drive with a wide power range used in heavy process applications. Its closed-loop vector and servo capability means encoder feedback card integrity is as important as the power stage.

Expertise

Common Unidrive SP faults we fix

  • Power module (IGBT) failure — particularly in frame sizes 3 to 6, where high switching frequencies accelerate thermal stress on the power semiconductors

  • Encoder feedback option card faults causing closed-loop instability, speed oscillation, or drive inhibit faults

  • Current clamp and current feedback circuit faults leading to spurious overcurrent trips under light load

  • Cooling fan failure on larger frames causing thermal derating or emergency shutdown in warm environments

FAQ

Unidrive SP repair FAQs

Do you repair large-frame Unidrive SP units?

Yes. We service a range of Unidrive SP frame sizes — contact us with your specific frame and we will confirm whether it is within our current scope.

Can you repair or replace the encoder feedback option card on a Unidrive SP?

Yes. Encoder feedback card failure is a common fault on closed-loop Unidrive SP applications. We can repair the fault or source a compatible replacement, verifying closed-loop operation before return.

My Unidrive SP shows an overtemperature fault — is this repairable?

Overtemperature faults are often caused by fan failure, blocked heatsink fins, or a faulty thermistor rather than primary power stage damage. We diagnose the root cause during the bench evaluation.
