AMEE Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full AMEE product range. Below are the major product families we service.
AMEE Soft Starters (ASS Series)
Thyristor-based soft starting units for 3-phase AC motors from 2.2 kW to 400 kW. Common issues include thyristor gate driver failures, soft-start ramp timeouts, and loss of voltage feedback. Indian textile and sugar mills rely on these for reduced mechanical shock and energy savings.
AMEE Variable Frequency Drives (VFD-IP Series)
Compact IGBT-based VFDs rated 0.5 HP to 50 HP with IP54 enclosure rating. Repair common faults: capacitor degradation, IGBT module shorts, encoder signal loss, and cooling fan bearing wear. Heavy deployment in Indian pump stations, conveyor systems, and machine tool retrofits.
AMEE Control Panels and Custom Assemblies
Integrated motor control centres and auto-changeover panels with built-in protection relays, overload modules, and isolation contactors. Frequent faults: contactor coil burnout, thermal overload calibration drift, wiring insulation breakdown from moisture in monsoon-heavy regions.
AMEE Energy Monitoring and Retrofit Modules
Modular energy meters and legacy motor retrofit adapters for upgrading old DC motors to AC-VFD operation. Common failures: CT (current transformer) saturation, analogue-to-digital converter faults, and RS485 communication dropout in noisy mill environments.
AMEE Braking Resistors and Power Modules
Dynamic braking resistors, regenerative modules, and harmonic filtering units for VFD systems. Issues include resistor element cracking from thermal cycling, contactor chatter, and capacitor leakage in high-humidity coastal installations.
AMEE Field Terminals and Local Control Panels
Dedicated operator panels, speed potentiometer interfaces, and local start-stop hardwired terminals for AMEE drives. Repair scope: push-button switch contact welding, potentiometer wiper degradation, and panel PCB dry-joint solder fractures from vibration.

Common AMEE Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in AMEE equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Thyristor gate drive circuit failure in AMEE soft starters — AMEE ASS series soft starters use optical isolation gate drivers for thyristor firing. Gate driver optocouplers fail due to temperature cycling and reduced forward current gain, preventing gate pulse transmission to thyristors and causing complete soft-start lockout.
- ✓IGBT module thermal runaway in AMEE VFD-IP drives — AMEE VFD-IP drives use parallel-connected IGBT power modules in the main inverter stage. Degraded thermal compound, loose baseplate mounting, and blocked cooling fins accumulate heat, leading to junction temperature overshoot and IGBT short-circuit failure.
- ✓Loss of 24 V auxiliary supply in AMEE control panels — AMEE panels use common-mode DC-DC converter modules for internal 24 V logic supply, fed from the main 3-phase bridge. Capacitor aging, SMD resistor thermal drift, and PCB moisture ingress cause auxiliary supply collapse, disabling all control relay coils and solenoid coils.
- ✓Contactor coil winding insulation breakdown in AMEE soft starters and control panels — AMEE control panels deployed in high-humidity regions (coastal Gujarat, Tamil Nadu sugar mills) suffer moisture penetration into contactor coils. Insulation breakdown occurs under sustained 24/48 V DC coil voltage, causing phase-to-ground leakage and solenoid chatter.
- ✓Encoder feedback signal noise in AMEE retrofitted DC-AC systems — AMEE retrofit adapters for legacy DC motors integrate incremental encoders over long noisy mill wiring. EMI coupling from adjacent VFD circuits and unshielded cable runs cause CRC errors and position feedback glitches, triggering motor stall protection trips.
- ✓Capacitor bank leakage and thermal runaway in AMEE VFD-IP DC bus circuits — AMEE VFD-IP drives use large electrolytic capacitor banks for DC bus smoothing. Long ambient temperatures (40-45°C in Indian industrial facilities), over-voltage transients from grid switching, and manufacturing defects cause accelerated electrolyte evaporation and equivalent series resistance (ESR) growth.

Frequently Asked Questions — AMEE Repairs
Do you repair AMEE equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the complete AMEE product range — soft starters, VFDs, control panels, retrofit modules, and braking systems across all Indian industrial regions. We offer PAN-India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Surat, and all tier-2 cities. All repairs are performed at our 8,000+ sq ft facility in Vadodara, Gujarat.
What is the typical turnaround time for AMEE soft starter and VFD repair?+
For routine AMEE soft starter and VFD-IP repairs (capacitor replacement, optocoupler swap, IGBT module service), turnaround is 3-5 working days from receipt at our facility. Complex issues such as encoder signal troubleshooting or custom firmware uploads may extend to 7-10 days. Critical equipment can be prioritized for next-day turnaround with expedited courier charges.
How do you handle obsolete AMEE component sourcing for old soft starters?+
Many AMEE soft starters manufactured in the 1990s and early 2000s use now-obsolete thyristor gate drivers and discrete transistor circuits. Synchronics maintains a large inventory of NOS (new old stock) AMEE compatible optocouplers, power transistors, and relay modules. For unavailable parts, our design engineers perform functional equivalence analysis and propose drop-in replacements with full performance verification.
Can Synchronics upgrade an old AMEE soft starter to a modern VFD system?+
Yes. Many Indian textile and sugar mills operate legacy AMEE soft starters with obsolete thyristor technology. Synchronics offers full system migration to modern AMEE VFD-IP or third-party IGBT VFDs, including control panel rewiring, encoder integration, and operator interface commissioning. We perform side-by-side energy efficiency testing to quantify savings before decommissioning the old soft starter.
What warranty and quality assurance do you provide on AMEE repairs?+
All Synchronics AMEE repairs include 12 months comprehensive parts and labour warranty from dispatch. We perform 72-hour burn-in testing under simulated plant load profiles, validate all protective functions (overload, overvoltage, thermal), and issue detailed test reports with before-after waveform analysis. Statutory GST and transport compliance documentation is provided with every repair shipment.
How do I send my AMEE unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a AMEE drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on AMEE repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your AMEE unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
