The motor turns. Is the job ready to hand over?

A successful start is one part of commissioning. The agreed checks may also need to cover operating modes, feedback, stopping behaviour and fault recovery.

The useful handover is a record of what has been proved against the job requirements.

New Start Energy supports drive installation and commissioning around the application.

What is your essential check before a system goes back into service?

A tidy cabinet door cannot tell you what is happening inside.

This archive photo shows dust accumulated on the cooling fins. In drive equipment, a dirty heatsink can affect cooling and contribute to temperature warnings or trips.

It is a reason to plan a proper inspection, not to open a live cabinet. Internal work needs qualified personnel, safe isolation and the manufacturer's instructions.

Message New Start Energy to discuss drive maintenance and condition assessment.

What’s the fault code that still lives rent-free in your head?

You know the one.
The drive said overcurrent. The motor was fine. The cable was fine. Everything you tested was fine, until, several hours later, you found a cause the original code hadn’t even hinted at.

Tell us your most frustrating fault-finding story and you could win a Wera tool kit worth approximately £120, just like the kit our engineers carry.

Turning one conveyor up does not tell you whether the whole line will move more material.

The sections need to work together, from speed coordination to sensors and the starting sequence.

New Start Energy supports conveyor drives, PLC controls and the operating sequence.

Where does your line tend to lose its rhythm?

Fault code ≠ root cause.

Every engineer learns that lesson eventually, usually after checking the motor, testing the cable and losing several hours to a fault that turns out to be somewhere completely unexpected.

Now we want your best example.

Comment with:
- The fault code displayed
- Where it initially led you
- The actual cause you eventually discovered

One entrant will win a Wera tool kit worth approximately £120, the same kit used by our engineers.

The small print matters.

This Alstom module from our photo archive has more than a part number on its label. It also specifies the Vf group to use when connecting in parallel.

A tightly cropped photo could miss that detail completely.

If you need help with older drive equipment, message New Start Energy with the complete label, the drive details and what you need support with. Only take photographs where it is safe and authorised to do so.

Which drive would stop your operation if it failed?

That’s a good place to start when planning maintenance.

Knowing its condition, keeping useful equipment records and understanding your repair or replacement options can help you prepare before a breakdown happens.

New Start Energy provides variable speed drive assessment, maintenance, repair and upgrade support.

Message us to talk about the drives your business depends on.

🚨 GIVEAWAY: Win a Wera tool kit worth approximately £120.

What’s the most misleading fault code you’ve ever encountered?

The one that pointed straight at the motor, but turned out to be a cable, sensor, connection or something nobody suspected?

Tell us what the code showed and what the actual cause was for your chance to win the same Wera tool kit our engineers carry.

When a drive failure stops production, the quickest answer is not always the first drive available.

Temporary VSD hire needs engineering checks. Motor current, supply voltage, application, overload duty, control method, communications, enclosure, cooling and site conditions all affect suitability.

New Start Energy supports temporary VSD hire, installation and commissioning across the UK.

If you need urgent drive support, message us with clear photographs of the drive and motor nameplates, the fault display and the control panel. Include the site postcode and tell us how long the process can remain stopped.

The right information helps us assess equipment availability, transport and commissioning requirements before mobilisation.
