Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Capacitor Reforming Solutions
Extend the Life of Your VFDs with Professional Capacitor Reforming
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are critical for efficient motor control in industrial, commercial, and municipal applications. However, when drives sit unused for long periods, the electrolytic capacitors inside them can degrade, leading to failures, costly repairs, and unexpected downtime.
Capacitor reforming is a proven, manufacturer-recommended process that restores your VFD capacitors to like-new condition—extending the lifespan of your equipment and keeping your operations running smoothly.
What Is VFD Capacitor Reforming?
Electrolytic capacitors store and filter energy within a VFD. When left idle for months or years, their oxide layer weakens, creating risks of leakage, short circuits, or even catastrophic failure.
Reforming applies a controlled voltage to rebuild this oxide layer, bringing the capacitor back to full performance without the need for costly replacement. Major OEMs such as ABB, Siemens, and Rockwell Automation recommend reforming for VFDs stored for more than 1–2 years.
