Product Description:
The 2K.F6.230-0018 is a cabinet-mounted inverter drive manufactured by KEB and supplied through the F6 Combivert Inverter Drives series. As a member of the COMBIVERT F6 platform, it delivers variable-frequency output for asynchronous and synchronous motors, enabling precise speed regulation, controlled acceleration, and process-related torque limitation. The device is intended for general machine automation where flexible motor control, integrated safety functions, and software-based current limits are preferred over mechanical throttling. Its cabinet-mounted design allows it to operate as part of a centralized motor-control system within automated production equipment.
The housing carries an IP20 degree of protection, so live parts are shielded from fingers and similar objects, but the drive requires a clean control cabinet for protection from dust and moisture. The rated ambient operating temperature ranges from 5 to 40 °C, with an extended range that permits startup at -10 °C and continuous duty up to 45 °C when applicable derating rules are observed. The power stage switches the DC link at a rated frequency of 2 kHz, balancing motor noise against semiconductor heating. Acceptable atmospheric moisture ranges from 5% to 85% relative humidity without condensation, helping prevent electrical tracking on the control boards. Functional safety is provided by a Type 3 safety module, which supplies predefined stopping and monitoring channels for supported machine functions.
Installation is permitted at elevations up to a maximum of 2,000 m above sea level, after which additional operating restrictions may apply. The drive supervises its output with a software current limit of 125%, permitting brief overloads while reducing the risk of excessive thermal stress. For long-term storage, the electronics withstand temperatures from -25 to 55 °C. During nonoperational transport, the unit can tolerate temperatures up to 70 °C. Hardware protection responds to excessive fault energy with a turn-off current threshold of 150%, allowing the motor circuit to be de-energized rapidly during a short circuit or stall event. These protective responses operate independently of the normal speed command when current rises beyond the permitted operating range.
