Product Description:

The 16.F2.R30-0000 inverter is built by KEB for the F2 Combivert Drive Inverters series. Designed for cabinet installation, it modulates three-phase mains power so that induction or synchronous motors can run at variable speed and torque setpoints in automated machinery, hoists, and conveying systems. By integrating an internal braking circuit and EMI suppression, the unit provides the power conversion stage between the plant supply and connected motion equipment without requiring separate braking and interference-filter components.

Rated output capability reaches 15 kW, providing the maximum continuous mechanical power available to the connected motor. Electrically, the drive handles up to 23 kVA of apparent power and supplies a motor phase current of 33 A. The user-selectable carrier frequency can be set as high as 8 kHz; higher switching rates improve current resolution but add thermal load that must be removed through the internal cooling passages. The input section accepts three-phase power and is protected by a line fuse rated no higher than 50 A. An internal braking transistor dissipates regenerated energy during deceleration, while the built-in interference filter limits conducted emissions. The enclosure has an IP20 protection rating, so the inverter must be installed inside a closed electrical cabinet. The control electronics draw 250 mA from the auxiliary supply. The terminal block accepts copper conductors with a cross-sectional area of at least 10 mm² to provide sufficient current-carrying capacity.

Power loss reaches 770 W when the carrier frequency is set to its maximum, and this heat must be removed to keep the heat sink temperature below the 45 °C operating limit. The housing weighs 27 kg, allowing rigid installation on a backplate with adequate load capacity. Operation can begin at ambient temperatures as low as -10 °C, and service continues without derating at relative humidity levels up to 90 percent when condensation is prevented. Cabinet ventilation must provide sufficient airflow around the heat sink, particularly when the inverter operates continuously at a high switching frequency.
