Product Description:
The 16.F5.C1E-Y00A is a variable-frequency inverter manufactured by KEB and supplied as part of the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. As a compact control module, it modulates motor voltage and frequency so that three-phase machines can accelerate, decelerate, or hold speed precisely during automated production cycles. Its role in an automation cell is to translate high-level motion commands from a PLC into regulated electrical power that matches the torque and speed demands of conveyors, winding stations, and similar equipment. By varying the output waveform, the inverter helps maintain stable process speed during load changes and coordinated starts and stops.
The drive supports motors up to 20 HP on a nominal 400 V line, and it accepts a three-phase supply rated at 43 A. Internally, the inverter uses size code 16 and housing form factor E, which indicate its mechanical envelope and mounting hole pattern for cabinet installation. A rated output current of 33 A is available for connected loads, and speed commands are carried out by adjusting the output frequency. The electronics allow output frequencies up to 599 Hz, which suits high-speed spindle operation and field-weakening on standard motors. This layout supports panel mounting in industrial enclosures where depth and cable routing must stay controlled.
Switching behavior is handled by an IGBT bridge with a maximum carrier frequency of 8 kHz, while 2 kHz is the rated setting for continuous duty to balance acoustic noise and thermal load. A factory-installed braking transistor provides dynamic braking during deceleration by routing surplus energy to an external resistor. Environmental protection is rated IP20, so the unit is intended for use in a clean control cabinet. The protected enclosure prevents accidental contact with internal conductive parts, but it is not sealed against dust or liquid exposure. Thermal management relies on a finned heat sink that may reach 90 °C under full load, and the output section is limited to 23 kVA.
