Product Description:

The 16.F4.CH1-4A01 is a frequency inverter produced by KEB within the F4 Combivert Frequency Inverters series. The unit converts fixed-frequency mains power into a variable-frequency, variable-voltage output that allows automation systems to regulate induction motor speed and torque. It can control pumps, conveyors, fans, and other machinery where electrical speed adjustment is preferred over mechanical throttling. Its adjustable output also allows a connected motor to respond to changing process demands without requiring a fixed operating speed.

The drive operates in the Compact control mode, which provides streamlined parameter groups while supporting scalar and sensorless vector regulation. For distributed installations, an optional InterBus interface connects the inverter to higher-level PLC networks, allowing command and diagnostic data to travel across a common bus. Its power section supports motors rated up to 15 kW under nominal line conditions. The IP20 enclosure prevents accidental contact with live parts when the inverter is installed inside a suitable cabinet. Reliable operation is maintained within an ambient temperature range of -10 to 45 °C, allowing full output in typical indoor production areas. Adequate cabinet ventilation and installation clearances help remove heat generated by the power electronics during continuous operation.

The inverter supports a maximum relative humidity of 95% without condensation, allowing operation in humid areas when the temperature remains above the dew point. Its control algorithms coordinate current and voltage to provide efficient motor excitation throughout the operating range. The housing layout and mounting holes support installation alongside compatible drive equipment in an electrical cabinet. Consistent parameter numbering and menu navigation make operating settings easier to locate across related units. The inverter can exchange operating commands, status information, and diagnostic data with a connected controller when the optional network interface is installed. Cabinet placement should protect the open enclosure from conductive debris, direct water exposure, and other contaminants that could reach internal components.
