Product Description:

The 15.F5.M1E-35G0 is an inverter unit manufactured by KEB for the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. As a dedicated axis drive, it converts fixed-frequency mains power into variable-frequency output that allows an automation controller to regulate motor speed, direction, and torque in real time. This functionality makes the inverter suitable for induction-motor positioning, conveying, and coordinated multi-axis tasks on factory equipment.

This model regulates motors through closed-loop field-oriented control, which aligns current vectors with the rotor field to maintain torque accuracy from zero to rated speed. The drive can support motors up to 15 HP through its universal output terminals. The unit has size code 15, which corresponds to the thermal and current limits of its power stage. When powered from a 230 V three-phase source in the Unit B configuration, it maintains an output of 15 HP at 230 V, providing the same mechanical power on lower-voltage networks. IGBT switching elements support these power ratings and include integrated gate monitoring and overcurrent cutback protection.

A factory-installed braking transistor provides an internal path for dynamic energy dissipation during rapid deceleration cycles. The E housing form factor keeps the enclosure footprint consistent with other modules of a similar rating. Speed feedback hardware is optional, and this unit is supplied with no encoder feedback card. External resolver or encoder modules can be connected when higher feedback resolution is required. The drive remains compatible with the broader F5 Combivert platform, allowing the use of parameter files from that product family. Integration into existing control cabinets is simplified because the power and signal connectors follow the layout used across KEB variable-speed drives.
