From Quantum Controls, the UK’s Leading Variable Speed Drive Repair Company

All equipment requires maintenance or repair at some point. Whether dealing with an unexpected breakdown or replacing worn parts at a scheduled maintenance interval, we provide all levels of repair for all makes of VSD equipment – from minor repair to full overhaul. Depending on the nature of repair and the size of your equipment, we offer onsite repair and workshop repair services.

A qualified service engineer brings a fully equipped service vehicle with the right tools and original spare parts to your facility, we have a large stock of drive spares including ABB, Schneider, Danfoss and more. The service engineer assesses the situation and repairs equipment on-site. If required, your equipment may be brought to one of our service centres for workshop repair and tested in our state-of-the-art Load Test Facility.

Conducting on-site repairs at your facility provides a timely, cost-effective way to resolve problems associated with unexpected failures. Plus, all repairs are backed by a solid Quantum warranty.

As the UK’s leading VSD repair company, Quantum provide a fast, reliable drive repair service:

  • Repair available for all makes of variable speed drives

In the instance that your equipment is brought to one of our service centres, our expert engineers will inspect the equipment and provide a full report of their findings. From here, you can decide the best course of action to get you back up and running in the least amount of time possible. All repairs carried out are fully load tested to ensure equipment is fully functioning before being returned to site.

You would not repair your car engine without starting the engine to ensure all is well, so why repair a VSD and not load test?

The main advantage of our load test facility at Quantum’s Head Office in Prudhoe, Northumberland is that we are able to test VSD’s under loads of up to 400A. This can be achieved by driving two 110kW motors coupled together, the first is a driven motor and the second acts as a generator.

This means that high currents can be passed through the drive instead of the drives being ran without a motor or ran with an unloaded motor.

Fitting a regen drive to this means that we can power the full load test facility by drawing only the losses from the grid, resulting in a very green, energy efficient testing process.

Splitting the test facility into two sections with a retractable partition allows us to test double the amount of VSD’s and Control Panels at the same time, helping us to adhere to our drive repair SLAs.

We also have the added benefit of a 415v to 690v transformer in order to test our bigger 690v Control Panel’s, as well as a TV fitted to the back of the test bay allowing our engineers to connect laptops in order to visually display and analyse results and graphs from the equipment tested.

If you have drives on your site that you would like to be tested or serviced, send them to us or we can arrange to collect them from site.

We are offering a FREE Drive Inspection and Report until 1st October; to take advantage, email us at repairs@quantum-controls.co.uk!
