Our Services
Installation & Panel-build
When a “turn-key” inverter or soft-start installation is required, K2 engineers can undertake a full programme of electro-mechanical, installation and commissioning activities.
■ IP55 wall-mounted inverters
■ Motor control panels with IP20 Inverters or soft-starts
■ IP55 floor mounted compressor inverters
In addition, K2 can upgrade an existing control panel to house the inverter drives with associated interface components and switchgear.
Our staff meet all relevant Health and Safety standards, along with electrical standards and operational guidelines.
Commissioning
Once installed an inverter or soft-start needs to be programmed to set up input/output interfaces, ramp rates and application functions.
K2 Drives’ skilled engineers do this daily.
A correctly optimised drive reduces running costs and delivers longer motor life, ensuring maximum performance and efficiencies.
Once commissioning has been completed K2 also provides training to instruct key members of staff on the details of operation and servicing issues. Together with fault-finding skills they can react confidently in the rare event of a failure, trip or alarm condition.
Technical Support
With over 125 years collective drives experience, K2 Drives’ staff can assist you in determining the appropriate size of your required inverter and leverage our knowledge to offer application advice. Our experienced engineers can assist with wiring configurations and discuss the drive parameters that offer optimal performance for specific applications.
We can assist with the process of upgrading and replacing of existing installations, by recording the original parameter setup and replicating them to a new drive. We offer this service as part of our Preventive Maintenance procedure.
Service & Replacements
We offer 24 hour national service support and can provide service coverage round the clock, including replacement New-For-Old and Service Exchange units up to 90kW, usually ex stock.
Should you have multiple inverter drives installed on your site the, for peace of mind K2 Drives can quote for a PM (Preventative Maintenance) contract. This contract provides for varying levels of cover depending on your requirements, from a simple annual inspection to a fully comprehensive service and maintenance package.
Our cost-effective, responsive on-site service carries out all activity to the highest standards following manufacturers’ procedures. Same day and weekend callouts can be arranged at extra cost.
Workshop Repairs
The most cost effective way to get your equipment running again.
As a Danfoss DrivePro Partner we can test and repair your inverter at our facility.
When sent to us we will assess each repair before sending you a quote. We also provide you with the cost of a replacement unit making it easier to break down any costs, and deciding the most economical way forward.
Power Quality Reports
K2 have developed a range of services to ensure the increase in inverter driven loads does not impact on the UK power network. We can model proposed new loads to quantify changes to harmonic levels and plan for compliance with the latest harmonic voltage distortion Recommendation ENA EREC G5/5.
Without disruption to site processes our snap-shot or long term surveys can be conducted to diagnose site harmonic, flicker, sag and other issues. Our reports include recommendations and remedial equipment where needed.
