Internal Product Review
The 18.F5.G1H-360A is a KEB Combivert F5 axis drive built for three-phase AC motors with a 3-phase 400 V AC/DC input. V/F open-loop operation and pulse-width modulation output give the drive smooth, predictable control in standard motion duty. An installed braking transistor and 800 Hz maximum output frequency make this axis drive a very capable performer.

Product Description:
The 18.F5.G1H-360A is a variable-frequency axis drive produced by KEB as part of the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. Designed for controlling three-phase AC induction machines in plant automation, the unit converts a fixed three-phase supply into a modulated output that regulates motor speed and torque across a wide range of operating conditions. By integrating into a multi-axis motion rack, the drive supports enclosed cabinet installation with adaptable frequency and voltage profiles. This operating method lets the connected motor respond smoothly to changing load demands in conveyors, extruders, pumps, and similar equipment while reducing mechanical stress during starts, stops, and routine speed changes.
Inside its H-coded housing, the drive uses a DC link to buffer incoming energy from the three-phase line supply and stabilize the inverter section during load changes. The enclosure carries an IP20 rating, so installation must occur in a protected cabinet where accidental contact with live parts is limited. For machines requiring up to 30 HP, the inverter’s IGBT bridge supplies sinusoidal current across a frequency range that extends to 800 Hz, giving broad speed control over standard four-pole motors. A nominal switching frequency of 8 kHz shortens current rise times and reduces audible noise, while eight internal parameter sets allow the drive to store multiple motor or process profiles without external memory.
During transient conditions, the control logic permits output peaks of 180%, while a further overload margin of 150% accommodates acceleration surges and short-duration load changes. These limits act on a V/F open-loop algorithm that references the rated 400 V supply, so speed error remains predictable even without an encoder. Torque production is generated through pulse-width modulation, which shapes the motor current delivered by the inverter stage. An embedded braking transistor diverts regenerated energy to a resistor bank to keep the DC link voltage within safe bounds during deceleration.
