Product Description:

The 38.F5.A1P-B0-D is an axis drive module produced by KEB within the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. Designed for plant automation, the unit converts high-voltage mains power into regulated motor power for material-handling systems, processing equipment, and test stands. It can control synchronous or asynchronous motors, allowing the module to support different machine configurations without changes to its power hardware. Open-loop and closed-loop operating modes provide a choice between sensorless control and feedback-based regulation. These control options allow the drive to regulate motor speed or torque according to the selected application parameters.

The drive is rated for a line voltage of 660/690 V AC and provides a continuous output current of 900 A. Its corresponding output power is 800 kW for the stated voltage class. The power-switching components operate at a base frequency of 2 kHz. An IP20 metal housing protects users from accidental finger contact with internal components, but the module must be installed inside a suitable cabinet. Housing code 3 × P identifies the mechanical frame used for this high-power F5 model. The standard control board includes an incremental TTL encoder interface through a Sub-D connector, allowing the drive to receive velocity feedback during closed-loop operation. An internal braking transistor supports controlled motor deceleration by directing regenerated energy to the appropriate braking circuit.

During overload events, the inverter can provide up to 1100 A when operated with the peak switching frequency setting of 4 kHz. The power section accepts a three-phase input and supplies either supported motor topology through its regulated output stage. A TTL-level position output allows a downstream controller to monitor the actual shaft state without requiring an additional feedback board. Integrated earth-fault detection and short-circuit supervision protect the power electronics from damaging current paths. A mains choke and an output choke are required to limit harmonic currents and reduce electrical stress on the drive and connected motor. The required chokes must be selected for the installation voltage, current demand, and connected load. Parameter settings determine the active control mode and allow the drive to adapt its regulation strategy to the connected machine.
