VACON VFD REPAIR & REFURBISHMENT

Vacon 10 and Vacon 20 repair and refurbishment.

Component-level repair for the Vacon 10 and Vacon 20. Bench diagnostics, engineer-led, no fix no fee.

Overview

Vacon 10/20 repair and refurbishment

The Vacon 10 and Vacon 20 are compact entry-level drives covering 0.25 kW to 5.5 kW, used in simple pump, fan, and conveyor applications. Despite their compact format, component-level repair is viable for production-critical applications where a replacement would require rewiring or re-parameterisation.

Expertise

Common Vacon 10/20 faults we fix

  • Power stage IGBT failure presenting as overcurrent trips — common following a downstream wiring fault or motor insulation degradation

  • DC bus capacitor failure causing undervoltage alarms in applications with frequent start-stop cycles or poor supply quality

  • Parameter loss (NVRAM fault) following a transient event or prolonged power failure, causing configuration errors on next startup

  • Keypad and display failure preventing local parameter access in panel or DIN-rail mounted installations

FAQ

Vacon 10/20 repair FAQs

Is it worth repairing a Vacon 10 or Vacon 20 given their small size?

For production-critical machinery, the deciding factor is downtime rather than drive cost. Repair avoids re-wiring and recommissioning. We provide a clear quote upfront so you can make an informed decision.

My Vacon 10 powers up but won't run the motor — what is likely wrong?

A drive that powers up but will not run often indicates a control card fault, a wiring issue at the control terminals, or a parameter error. We carry out a bench diagnostic to identify the root cause.

Can you repair a Vacon 20 that has suffered a supply surge?

Yes. Supply surges most commonly damage the input rectifier or DC bus capacitors. We assess all affected circuits during the bench evaluation and quote accordingly.
