Product Description
12.F5.C1B-L50A is a F5 series frequency inverter from KEB Automation. It is designed especially for controlling AC motors. The inverter’s main function is to produce AC output at a desired frequency and amplitude. As the input AC might not match the desired output, the inverter first converts input AC to DC via rectification, and then converts the DC to AC output at the desired amplitude and frequency. Input rating of the 12.F5.C1B-L50A inverter is 400 Volts AC. It requires 3-phase AC input at 50/60 Hertz line frequency. The Input current at 480 Volts is 10.6 Amps. The output frequency range is from 0 to 800 Hertz. The output voltage range is from 0 to the input voltage. The nominal output current is 9.5 Amps. Power output rating of the frequency inverter is 6.6 kVA.
The 12.F5.C1B-L50A inverter can be connected to motors with 5 Horsepower rating. It works with 2 and 4 pole motors. Protection rating of the inverter housing is IP20. This means the housing is not dust proof or waterproof. Therefore, it can be used indoors without additional protection. Even for indoor use, and especially for outdoor use, the inverter must be installed inside a suitable cabinet. KEB has designed the inverter for vertical mounting. At least 100 millimeters spacing must be provided around the inverter for smooth airflow. A heat sink is installed on the unit, which helps with heat dissipation during operation. The ambient air temperature should not exceed 45 degrees Celsius during operation. During storage, the ambient air temperature should be between -25 and 70 degrees Celsius. The maximum permitted relative humidity during operation should be 95%.
