FAQ

We can retrofit all products that are in limited or inactive lifecycle status with newer technology and more energy-efficient products.

MyDrive Assistant can also help identify the best replacement AC drive depending on type code or sales code.

 

  • Any kind of installation
  • Any commissioning. However, Danfoss is ready to support you in commissioning newly installed drives drives with DrivePro® Start-up.

Danfoss is ready to support you every step of the way. DrivePro® Start-up is a professional commissioning service that configures the AC drive according to your application. That service ensures the AC drive is working at its full potential to ensure maximum availability and process performance.

 

Yes. Often there is a commercial advantage in replacing a large volume of AC drives in a single coordinated project. It helps to plan well in advance in order to reduce planned operational downtime.

 

Typically 12-18 months before moving a product to the limited lifecycle status, Danfoss sends a letter to customers notifying them that a certain product will reach the end of its lifecycle and will no longer be produced. In that letter Danfoss will also provide information about the best alternative product for retrofit.

If a failure occurs, AC drives in the limited lifecycle will have reduced service options, which increases the risks of longer downtime and costs of failure. Therefore, Danfoss recommends DrivePro® Retrofit service when drives transition to limited or inactive lifecycle status.

Ultimately, it is the customer's decision to replace the AC drive still in service.
