Don’t Lose Your Spare VFDs to Unnecessary Failures.
We can reform your electrolytic capacitors in your spare variable frequency drives, to extend the life of your (VFDs). Our professional capacitor reforming service is to increase VFD lifespan and reliability across. This service is offered onsite for Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, and Minnesota, or you can ship VFDs to ous for service.

Why Reforming Capacitors Saves Your VFDs
When a spare VFD is not energized for periods of one year or more its electrolytic capacitors begin to degrade. Upon energizing, degraded capacitors can fail-sometimes catastrophically-causing short circuits or rendering a drive completely unusable. Spare drives that you rely on may become defective without proactive capacitor maintenance.
This is where our Capacitor Reforming Service comes in. Using a controlled “trickle charge” process, we regenerate the oxide layer within the capacitor, restoring its dielectric properties and extending its useful life. Whether you have small or large drives, we ensure your spares are always ready to function when needed.

How It Works
1. Assessment
Contact us with your VFD manufacturer and model details. (Helpful Request PDF Below) This helps us plan and execute the service efficiently.
2. On-Site or Our Location Reforming
Our team will arrive at your facility equipped to reform capacitors in several drives simultaneously, depending on size and rating. Reforming at our location can save time and travel costs. Complete documentation for each reformed VFD.
3. Restored VFDs
Once complete, your backup drives are ready for full operation with renewed capacitor reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is capacitor reforming?
It’s a controlled process of regenerating the oxide layer within electrolytic capacitors using incrementally applied voltage. This restores their dielectric properties and ensures they function properly when energized.
How often should capacitors be reformed?
For VFDs in storage, apply power for 30–60 minutes once a year. If they’ve been idle for more than one year, capacitor reforming is essential.
Which areas do you serve?
We service facilities in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota.
How long does the process take?
The process typically takes 1-3 hours per drive. Generally, we can reform capacitors in several drives within a half-day, depending on their size.
Don’t Wait for a Catastrophic Failure
Protect your VFD investments by preventing unnecessary downtime and failures. With our expertise and attention to detail, your backup drives will perform reliably when you need them most.
