Product Description:
The 15.F5.MBE-35PA is an axis inverter manufactured by KEB for the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. It modulates output voltage and frequency for three-phase asynchronous motors used in positioning, conveying, and coordinated motion tasks across automated equipment. The control platform supports both vector control and V/Hz operation, allowing the drive to match motor behavior to the application rather than forcing a single operating method. An integrated braking transistor handles regenerated energy during rapid deceleration, which helps stabilize the axis during frequent starts and stops. That flexibility makes it suitable for machines that alternate between steady-speed conveying and more dynamic indexing moves within the same production line. It is intended for applications that require precise motor response from a compact axis drive.
This drive is rated for a continuous apparent power of 17 kVA. It draws up to 31.2 A from the mains and can supply 24 A to the motor terminals under nominal conditions. A fixed switching frequency of 4 kHz balances acoustic noise and current ripple during normal operation. The inverter allows an overcurrent ceiling of 180% for brief load spikes, while a short-time limit of 150% applies during longer acceleration periods. That current capacity helps the drive handle repeated speed changes without immediate thermal derating. Thermal energy is removed through a standard heat-sink assembly, and the housing uses form factor code E for a cabinet-friendly footprint.
This capacity supports motors up to 15 HP in typical applications. The power section can be connected to a 3-phase 400 V AC/DC source, and the unit B variant can also operate from 230 V supplies. An onboard safety relay allows the motion stage to be shut down through external emergency-stop circuits without requiring a separate contactor for that function. Because the protective stop function is built into the drive, external control wiring can remain more direct in systems that use centralized safety logic. The same input arrangement also suits regenerative common-bus layouts where multiple axes share DC-bus energy.
