GER Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full GER product range. Below are the major product families we service.
GER Frequency Converters (AC Drives)
Variable frequency drives for motor speed control in pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyor systems. Common failures include IGBT module breakdown, capacitor aging, and firmware corruption leading to fault codes F01, F03, and F12.
GER DC Servo Drives
Precision DC motor controllers for positioning, winding, and precision application requirements. Typical faults: encoder interface failures, current feedback sensor drift, and power bridge transistor short circuits.
GER Multi-Axis Motion Controllers
Integrated controllers for multi-motor synchronisation in weaving, printing, and packaging lines. Common issues include firmware crashes, Ethernet communication loss, and analog input card degradation.
GER Soft-Start Modules
Electronic soft-starters for induction motor protection and smooth acceleration control. Typical failures: thyristor gating circuit faults, ramp control board burnout, and current transducer failure.
GER Regenerative Converters
Active front-end rectifiers for energy recovery in vertical lift, crane, and braking applications. Common faults: DC bus regulation failure, grid synchronisation loss, and insulation degradation in power modules.
GER PLC & I/O Modules
Modular programmable logic controllers and field I/O terminals for machine automation. Issues include CPU module failure, relay contact burnout, and communication module card-edge connector corrosion.

Common GER Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in GER equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓IGBT Module Thermal Runaway in GER Frequency Converters — Aged thermal interface material (TIM) between IGBT stack and heatsink, combined with inadequate forced-air cooling in high-ambient environments (>40°C). Dust accumulation on converter fins further restricts heat dissipation. Common in Indian textile mills and steel reheat furnace drives operating in monsoon humidity.
- ✓DC Bus Capacitor Dry-Out in GER VF-Series Drives — Electrolytic capacitor lifespan depletion (typically 10-15 years in tropical climate) causing capacitance loss, ESR increase, and ripple voltage elevation. Voltage overshoot during dynamic braking accelerates failure. Prevalent in Indian automotive supply chain drives running 24/7 on variable load profiles.
- ✓Firmware Corruption and F01/F03 Fault Codes — Power supply transients, sudden load disconnection, or corrupt EEPROM write during firmware update on GER frequency converters. Industrial EMI from welding or induction heating equipment in Indian foundries and steel plants can trigger spurious memory access.
- ✓Encoder Signal Loss in GER DC Servo Drives — Incremental or absolute encoder cable connector oxidation, intermittent cable break in motor lead sheath, or encoder IC aging in GER-DC50/DC100 drives. Common in high-vibration applications like automated weaving looms and pharmaceutical bottle-capping equipment.
- ✓Soft-Start Thyristor Gating Failure and Loss of Current Ramp — Gate drive optocoupler failure in GER-SS (soft-start) modules, or shorted optoisolator LED reducing signal margin to thyristor trigger circuit. Transient overvoltage from upstream contactors can destroy optical isolation, frequently seen in Indian pump stations and industrial fan applications.
- ✓Communication Loss on GER Multi-Axis MLC Controller Ethernet Port — Ethernet transformer primary coil open circuit or secondary winding short in the RJ45 interface module. Surge damage from lightning strike or outdoor cable routing common in Indian aggregate and mining equipment control cabinets. PHY chip (physical layer transceiver) IC failure also prevalent.

Frequently Asked Questions — GER Repairs
Do you repair GER equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full GER product range — frequency converters, DC servo drives, multi-axis motion controllers, soft-starters, regenerative converters, and PLC modules. We offer PAN-India door pickup service from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Surat, and all other major industrial cities. All repairs are handled at our central facility in Vadodara, Gujarat, with turnaround typically 7-10 working days for standard faults.
What is the typical cost and lead time for GER frequency converter repair?+
GER frequency converter repair cost ranges from INR 8,000 to INR 35,000 depending on fault type and module complexity. IGBT replacement and capacitor refurbishment fall at lower end; complete power stage rebuilds cost higher. Lead time is 7-10 days including diagnostics, parts sourcing, rebuild, and factory load-testing. Emergency express service (3-4 days) available for critical production lines at 20% premium.
Can Synchronics repair GER soft-starter modules and confirm full thyristor operation?+
Yes, absolutely. Synchronics specialises in GER soft-starter (GER-SS series) repair, with particular expertise in gate drive optocoupler replacement, ramp-rate calibration, and thyristor switching validation. We test soft-starters using isolated AC power supplies and load bank testing to confirm smooth current ramp-up from 0 to 100% over programmed time interval. All soft-starters receive 12-month warranty post-repair.
How do I know if my GER drive has a genuine fault or just a false fault code?+
Synchronics performs comprehensive diagnostic testing using GER diagnostic software (where available) and manual signal tracing to distinguish genuine hardware failure from firmware glitch or EMI-induced false triggering. We capture oscilloscope waveforms of gate drive, DC bus, and feedback signals. If firmware corruption is suspected, we back up current code, attempt repair, and perform controlled ramp-up test under variable load. Many Indian plants see false F01/F03 codes due to poor grounding or cable routing near welding equipment — we identify and correct root cause.
Do you stock OEM GER parts or use equivalent components?+
Synchronics uses OEM GER parts wherever critical to function — IGBT modules, capacitors, optocouplers, and encoder ICs are sourced from authorised GER distributors or equivalent military-grade (AEC-Q100/Q101 certified) components that meet or exceed GER specifications. Non-critical passive components may be equivalent substitutes (e.g., resistor/capacitor tolerance matching original design). All parts are documented in repair report with full traceability.
How do I send my GER 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 GER 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 GER 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 GER 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.
