Product Description
12.F5.B1D-3A0A is an Combivert F5 series frequency inverter. It is manufactured by KEB Automation, a German company that specializes in the industrial automation solutions. The power circuit of the unit consists of AC to DC rectifier, a DC link an output inverter. The rectifier has an uncontrolled bridge connection. The main function of the frequency inverter is to produce an output voltage that is variable in amplitude and frequency. KEB F5 series units are used for controlling three-phase AC motors. The output of the inverter is a PWM voltage with sinusoidal current for motor control. KEB F5 units are compatible with step less motors. Some of the salient features include PID controller, DC braking, energy saving, proactive protection, slip compensation, and a number of I/Os including 8 programmable digital inputs, and 2 programmable digital outputs.
The 12.F5.B1D-3A0A has an inverter size of 12. Its input voltage rating is 400 Volts AC. The unit accepts six phase AC input. Its nominal output power is 6.6 kVA. The inverter works with motors having power rating of up to 4 kilowatts. Nominal output current of the inverter is 9.5 Amps and the nominal input current to the unit is 13 Amps. KEB has designed the unit for 2 kilohertz switching frequency. During routine operation, the inverter dissipates 185 Watts as heat. With an IP20 rated housing, the inverter can be deployed indoors. However, for outdoor use, it must be installed inside a cabinet that provides appropriate ingress protection against dust and liquids. The inverter must not be used in environments with corrosive gases. Climatic category of the inverter is 3K3 as per EN 50178. Only qualified professionals should operate the unit.
