Lakeland, Florida — Mobile Service
Reformed Power Solutions LLC provides controlled DC bus capacitor reconditioning for industrial variable frequency drives — with calibrated, data-logged proof-of-condition documentation for every job.
What We Do
We bring the equipment to you. No freight costs, no shipping damage risk, no waiting on a depot.
Controlled voltage ramp using a custom-built reform station. Voltage applied in four graduated stages with hold times at each step — the exact process specified by ABB, Rockwell, Siemens, Danfoss, Yaskawa, and all major manufacturers for drives in storage.
New drives purchased as replacements should be verified before installation. We confirm DC bus health and produce a baseline condition report before the drive ever sees a motor load.
Not sure where to start? We come to your facility at no charge, inspect your drive inventory, identify which units require reconditioning, and provide a written assessment and quote — no obligation required.
Includes a written condition summary and itemized service quote for every drive reviewed.
Schedule Free InspectionKeep stored spares in verified condition on a recurring schedule. Discounted rates for contracted customers — 10% off standard pricing, stackable with volume discounts.

The Chemistry
Every VFD — regardless of manufacturer, model year, or brand — uses large electrolytic capacitors on its DC bus. These capacitors maintain their insulating properties only when periodically energized. When a drive sits in storage without power, the aluminum oxide dielectric layer inside each capacitor slowly breaks down.
Apply full voltage to a degraded capacitor and current rushes through microscopic cracks in the insulation instead of being blocked by it. The result: heat generation faster than the capacitor can dissipate — leading to venting, rupture, or catastrophic failure of the drive board.
This is not a defect in the drive. It is a fundamental property of electrolytic capacitor chemistry that every major manufacturer acknowledges with published storage and reforming procedures. Reconditioning rebuilds that oxide layer before the drive sees a load.
Schedule a service callEvery major VFD manufacturer — ABB, Rockwell Automation, Siemens, Danfoss, Yaskawa, Schneider, and KEB — publishes storage and reforming guidelines for their drives. The procedures are consistent across all brands: controlled voltage application in graduated steps, with hold times at each level to allow the dielectric to recover.
Reformed Power Solutions follows these manufacturer-specified procedures on every job, with dual data loggers running throughout to document that the correct voltage profile was applied from start to finish.
Request a QuoteDocumentation
Every job produces a calibrated, NIST-traceable data report generated by two simultaneously operating data loggers that record voltage, current, and temperature throughout the entire procedure. This is not a handwritten service tag — it is an instrument record.
Time-stamped voltage trace showing all four reform stages, hold times, and final voltage. Proves the correct voltage profile was applied throughout the job.
Confirms correct transformer secondary voltage was supplied throughout the reform cycle from start to finish.
The stabilized DC bus reading at end of full-voltage hold. A stable, correct DC bus value is a primary indicator of successful reformation.
Current draw (milliamps) throughout the job — showing the characteristic declining curve as each capacitor's dielectric reforms. Proves the capacitors responded correctly.
Confirms no current was flowing from the DC bus to chassis ground throughout the job, verifying the drive's internal insulation is intact.
Documents station temperature throughout the reform cycle for quality assurance and to capture any thermal anomalies.
