Product Description:
The 16.F5.GBE-340A axis drive is produced by KEB and belongs to the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. As a three-phase inverter, it converts constant mains power into a variable output that allows controllers to regulate the speed and torque of connected AC motors. The unit is intended for industrial automation tasks such as conveyors, mixers, and pump skids where electronic regulation provides precise control over motor operation. Integrated fault detection, thermal management, and fieldbus options support decentralized motion control without requiring separate contactors or motor starters.
The drive is housed in an IP20 enclosure, so its terminals are protected against accidental finger contact, but the unit must be installed inside a ventilated cabinet. It accepts a 400 V AC/DC supply, allowing connection to a compatible three-phase power grid or shared DC bus system. Under continuous duty, the inverter delivers a rated current of 33 A, providing the sustained electrical output needed for compatible industrial motors. The drive supports motors with an output of up to 15 kW. These ratings help users match the connected motor and mechanical load to the inverter’s continuous operating capacity without exceeding its thermal limits.
At nominal line conditions, the drive can start or accelerate machines requiring up to 20 HP, which corresponds closely to its maximum supported motor output. During rapid transients, its power section tolerates a short-term current of 59 A, providing additional torque for accelerating heavy loads. An electronic trip is triggered if the output current reaches 180% of the rated current, helping protect the power semiconductors from excessive current. Pulse-width modulation operates at a carrier frequency of 2 kHz, balancing audible motor noise against switching losses and heat generation. The drive includes earth-fault surveillance, short-circuit monitoring, and open-loop flux vector control. Closed-loop control can be added through an external encoder card when the application requires direct motor feedback.
