Product Description:

The 17.F5.G1G-YP00 is an axis drive inverter produced by KEB as part of the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. Designed for multi-axis motion systems, it converts a three-phase mains supply into controlled motor voltage and frequency so that induction or synchronous motors can follow precise speed and torque commands. The unit uses housing form factor code G with inverter size code 17 and has an IP20 enclosure for cabinet-mounted installation. Because it is intended for enclosed mounting, it fits systems where several axes share a compact control cabinet. Its factory configuration omits an encoder feedback card, so it is suited to open-loop operation or later retrofit with a compatible feedback module.

In normal operation, the drive accepts a three-phase supply of 400 V AC and draws a rated input current of 44 A. The power stage delivers a rated output current of 34 A, providing 29 kVA of apparent power at the motor terminals. Under 230 V conditions, it can control machines up to 25 HP. The power terminals should be tightened to 11 in-lb, and the enclosure relies on panel airflow rather than axial fans. This layout helps the unit fit cabinet installations that depend on organized vertical airflow.

Dynamic stopping is handled by the factory-installed GTR7 braking transistor working with an external resistor that is typically 28 ohms. During deceleration, the resistor can absorb up to 40 A of braking current while the heat sink is allowed to rise to 90 °C. This arrangement diverts regenerative energy away from the power stage during slowing and short stopping events. Continuous operation generates about 360 W of dissipation, so the cabinet must provide vertical clearance for natural convection around the G-form housing. If tighter duty cycles are required, an optional feedback card can be added for expanded control capability.
