Problem with the inverter
I have a damaged inverter on the production line and I'm wondering whether to send it for repair or buy a new one. The inverter is about 6 years old, the brand is well-known, the model is still being produced. What makes economic sense, and is refurbishing an inverter even safe for a critical drive?

A new inverter of the same class costs from several to over ten thousand zlotys depending on power, while repair is usually a fraction of that amount. The key is for the service shop to diagnose exactly what has failed, because in inverters the most common failures are IGBT transistors, electrolytic capacitors in the DC section, or the control circuit, and each of these repairs is priced differently. A decent service shop, after the repair, performs full load tests and does not just check whether the inverter powers up, which is important in the case of a critical drive. When an inverter fails on a production line, downtime also has its price, so it is worth having a good technician who works quickly.
