Product Description:

The 17.F5.H1G-Y000 is an AC axis drive produced by KEB within the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. It is intended to interface with three-phase induction or synchronous motors in automated machinery, supplying variable voltage and frequency so that speed and torque follow process requirements. By integrating the control, power electronics, and protective functions in one enclosure, the unit simplifies panel layouts for conveyors, extruders, and similar continuous-duty applications. It suits systems that need adjustable motor speed, controlled torque, and compact drive packaging inside electrical cabinets.

The drive’s continuous output limit reaches 25 HP, enabling it to energize medium-frame motors used on pumps or small presses. An inverter size index of 17 sets the physical frame, mounting hole pattern, and allowable bus current for this power class. The housing form factor code G refers to a deep chassis that accommodates larger heat sinks, helping maintain semiconductor junction temperatures without external cooling equipment. For controlled deceleration under overhauling loads, an internal braking transistor is factory-mounted, diverting regenerated energy to a dynamic resistor instead of the DC bus capacitors. Position feedback terminals remain inactive because the model ships with no encoder feedback card; the user may rely on open-loop V/f regulation or add a plug-in sensor board when closed-loop performance is required.

Motor data stored in Unit B parameter sets aligns the inverter for 230 V mains supplies. These settings tailor the drive to that supply range without changing the core power section. The parameter structure, menu layout, and fieldbus options follow the wider Combivert F5 architecture, so the interface remains consistent across related drives. The control and power sections use the same protective earth paths and electrical clearances applied across the platform.
