Who is TECO-Westinghouse?
TECO-Westinghouse Motor Company is a manufacturer of electric motors, generators, drives, controls, and related industrial power products. The company combines Westinghouse’s long history in the electrical industry with TECO’s motor and controls manufacturing capabilities. TECO-Westinghouse’s company profile notes that its Controls Division in Round Rock began assembling and distributing low-voltage variable frequency drives and motor soft-start control products under the TECO-Westinghouse name.
What Do TECO-Westinghouse Products Do?
TECO-Westinghouse products are designed to control motors, reduce mechanical stress during startup, and improve efficiency in industrial systems. Common product categories include:
-
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) – Control motor speed and torque by adjusting frequency and voltage to match application demand. TECO-Westinghouse offers low-voltage and legacy AC drive product categories.
-
Soft Starters – Reduce inrush current and startup stress so motors accelerate more smoothly and equipment experiences less mechanical strain. TECO-Westinghouse lists soft starters as part of its drives and controls offering.
-
Motor Control Components – TECO-Westinghouse also supports broader drives and controls applications tied to industrial motor systems and power equipment.

Common Issues with TECO-Westinghouse Drives
We regularly service issues such as:
-
Software or programming faults
-
Cooling fan failures
-
Loose or damaged electrical connections
-
Drive blowing fuses or tripping breakers
-
Drive not running the motor
-
Circuit board failures
Overcurrent faults are often among the more common causes of drive shutdowns, which is why troubleshooting should begin with the motor and overall operating dynamics, not just the board itself.
Common Issues with Soft Starters
We also service soft starter-related issues such as:
-
Startup faults or failure to ramp properly
-
Control board issues
-
Power section faults
-
Overheating caused by poor ventilation
-
Damage related to dust, heat, or moisture exposure
The Control Concepts Repair Process
Inspection
We inspect the drive, soft starter, and terminals for loose, worn, or heat-damaged connections caused by heat cycles, vibration, or improper torque.
Electrical Testing
We perform diode and IGBT testing on the input and output power sections before applying power to help prevent additional damage from a short.
Controlled Power-Up
The unit is powered up gradually while monitoring amp readings and output frequency until rated input voltage is reached.
Functional Testing
When appropriate, we back up existing programs and run the drive through basic jog and motor tests to verify output performance, rotation, and overall operation.
Final Verification
Each unit is fully tested to confirm proper operation before returning it to service.
Preventive Maintenance Recommendations
To reduce failures and extend equipment life, we recommend:
Keeping drives and soft starters free of dust and debris
Dust buildup can trap heat and affect cooling performance.
Ensuring proper ventilation
Adequate airflow helps prevent overheating and supports reliable operation.
Keeping equipment dry and protected from moisture
Moisture can damage internal electrical components and lead to corrosion or shorts.
Inspecting terminals and connections regularly
Routine checks can help identify loose or heat-damaged connections before they cause downtime.
Scheduling periodic testing and inspection
Regular inspection of power sections, control components, and operating condition can help catch problems early and reduce unexpected failures.
Preventive maintenance plays a key role in reducing unplanned downtime and extending equipment life.
