ASCOM FRAKO Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full ASCOM FRAKO product range. Below are the major product families we service.
FXP Series - Automatic Power Factor Correction Banks
Microprocessor-controlled capacitor bank systems with automatic reactive power compensation. Common faults include capacitor element failures, thyristor firing circuit malfunctions, and control relay failures causing fixed-voltage or reactive-power mode errors.
FXZT Series - Tuned Harmonic Filter Banks
Fixed-frequency resonant filter systems designed for 5th, 7th, and 11th harmonic elimination in industrial drives and furnace loads. Repair focus includes filter reactor winding faults, capacitor bank degradation, and internal component resonance issues.
SineWave Series - Active Harmonic Filters
Real-time harmonic compensation units using advanced digital signal processing for dynamic load conditions. Typical failures involve power semiconductor switching faults, gate driver circuit breakdowns, and DSP firmware crashes.
FXAI Series - Fixed Capacitor Banks with Integrated Reactors
Non-switched PFC solutions for stabilized loads without demand fluctuation. Common issues include capacitor dielectric breakdown, internal connection corrosion in humid Indian climate, and mechanical delamination.
FXCP Series - Compact PFC Modules
Space-efficient single or three-phase correction units for retrofit applications and panel integration. Failures typically stem from inadequate cooling in congested switchboards, capacitor element shorts, and control board moisture ingress.
FXRP Series - Detuned Filter Reactors
Non-resonant series reactors for soft-start and VFD integration without harmonic amplification. Repair work addresses core saturation, winding insulation breakdown under transient overvoltage, and mechanical vibration-induced fretting.

Common ASCOM FRAKO Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in ASCOM FRAKO equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Capacitor bank thermal runaway and dielectric failure — ASCOM FRAKO capacitor elements degrade rapidly in high ambient temperatures (>45°C), high humidity, and under sustained reactive power cycling. Contaminant ingress through breather vents in Indian monsoon climates accelerates dielectric breakdown, leading to element fusing and bank shutdown.
- ✓Thyristor firing circuit failure in automatic compensation mode — Gate driver IC degradation, solder joint fatigue on control PCBs, and supply voltage transients trigger false firing or total thyristor lock-up in ASCOM FRAKO automatic systems. Indian industrial grids with poor earthing and frequent voltage spikes are particularly susceptible.
- ✓Reactor winding insulation puncture and internal arcing — Harmonic filter reactors in ASCOM FRAKO FXZT series experience voltage stress concentration at core-coil edges during load transients and VFD dv/dt pulses. Manufacturing micro-voids in winding insulation lead to progressive tracking and catastrophic inter-turn shorts.
- ✓Control microprocessor reset and fault code ERR-05 or ERR-12 — Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from adjacent VFD and contactor banks corrupts ASCOM FRAKO microprocessor RAM. Power supply supervisor IC fails to maintain minimum hold-up voltage during grid transients, forcing unexpected resets during reactive power calculations.
- ✓Automatic bank step controller mechanical relay chattering and wear — Relay contacts in ASCOM FRAKO FXP series step controllers weld or stick after repeated capacitor bank switching cycles — common in mills and process plants running 24/7. Arcing deposits cause slow response and missed reactive power setpoints.
- ✓Active filter (SineWave) IGBT switching gate failures and shoot-through — ASCOM FRAKO SineWave active filters experience IGBT gate drive failures under sustained harmonic currents >150% nominal. Paralleled IGBT modules develop uneven current distribution leading to thermal runaway in one or more switches.

Frequently Asked Questions — ASCOM FRAKO Repairs
Do you repair all ASCOM FRAKO power factor correction and filter systems?+
Yes, Synchronics repairs the complete ASCOM FRAKO range — automatic PFC banks (FXP series), tuned harmonic filters (FXZT series), active filters (SineWave), fixed capacitor banks (FXAI), and detuned reactors (FXRP). We stock critical spare parts and test all repairs against OEM commissioning specifications. Same-day and next-day turnaround available for critical plants in Gujarat and neighbouring states.
What is the difference between ASCOM FRAKO fixed and automatic power factor correction systems?+
Fixed ASCOM FRAKO capacitor banks provide constant compensation regardless of load changes — suitable for stable, continuous loads like centrifugal pumps and blowers. Automatic FXP-series systems measure reactive power in real-time and switch capacitor steps on/off to maintain power factor setpoint. Automatic systems are essential for variable-load plants (textiles, batch processing) and are significantly more complex to repair, requiring microprocessor and thyristor expertise — exactly what Synchronics specializes in.
How do I know if my ASCOM FRAKO capacitor bank needs replacement?+
Watch for swollen or leaking capacitor cans, visible browning/discoloration of the outer surface, burning smell, or system shutdowns with ERR-08 error codes. Synchronics uses precision capacitance and insulation resistance testing — any element below 90% rated capacitance or insulation resistance <1000 MΩ indicates replacement required. In humid Indian climates, ASCOM FRAKO capacitor banks typically need preventive replacement every 8-12 years.
Can Synchronics retrofit ASCOM FRAKO mechanical relay step controllers with modern solid-state modules?+
Absolutely. Synchronics has retrofitted over 200+ legacy ASCOM FRAKO FXP relay-based systems with modern microprocessor and thyristor controllers that offer faster response, reduced arcing wear, and remote monitoring capability. Retrofits are fully backward-compatible with existing capacitor banks and maintain OEM power rating. We complete retrofit commissioning and provide 24-month parts warranty.
What causes ASCOM FRAKO filter reactors to fail, and how long does repair take?+
ASCOM FRAKO FXZT harmonic filter reactors fail due to core saturation under DC bias (from VFD mid-rail leakage), voltage spikes from capacitor switching, and insulation breakdown in high-temperature transformer oil. Complete rewinding and re-impregnation takes 5-7 working days. Synchronics maintains stock cores for standard kVAr ratings to accelerate turnaround. We test all rewound reactors at 1.5x rated voltage to ensure durability in harsh Indian industrial environments.
How do I send my ASCOM FRAKO 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 ASCOM FRAKO 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 ASCOM FRAKO 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 ASCOM FRAKO 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.
