Product Description:

The 16.F5.G1E-YP10 is a PWM inverter produced by KEB within the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. It functions as a speed and torque regulator for a single AC motor in automated machinery. By converting fixed-frequency mains power into a variable-frequency, variable-voltage output, the unit allows coordinated axis motion and energy-efficient acceleration profiles in packaging lines, conveyors, and material handling stations. The control stage continuously adjusts motor voltage and output frequency so the connected axis can respond smoothly to changing load conditions during starts, stops, and speed changes.

The drive is dimensioned for motors up to 20 HP, giving enough overhead for mid-frame induction or synchronous machines used on pumping or positioning axes. Its power section is organized under 16, the inverter size code that indicates heat-sink mass, IGBT current rating, and terminal pitch inside the chassis. Mechanical mounting follows the E housing form factor, which standardizes height and depth so the unit lines up with adjacent modules on DIN rails or backplates. Internal dynamic braking is handled by an integrated braking transistor that routes regenerative energy to an external resistor rather than the DC bus, preventing overvoltage during quick deceleration. Speed feedback hardware is simplified because the option slot carries no encoder feedback card, so the drive relies on open-loop V/Hz or sensorless vector algorithms.

The KEB coding on this model identifies it as part of the drive platform used for this product line. The designation Combivert F5 ties the unit to a control family with a consistent parameter structure and operating concept. The housing form factor code indicates the enclosure style and the vertical space needed around the heat sink for airflow. The inverter size code also indicates the terminal arrangement and the conductor range supported by the power section.
