Electronics Inc.
"KBVF" Frequency Drive
A Low Cost, full featured, Motor
Control /
Frequency Drive
with 100% power output
Single phase input - Three phase output
If you have been to
a used equipment auction and purchased a mill, lathe, drill press or other
piece machinery with a three phase
motor and are looking for a low cost solution to power it with single phase
power. This may be your low cost solution. Unlike
some
of the electronic phase inverters that only output 2/3 of the power, this
unit puts out 100% 3 phase power with 200% starting
torque. You will need
to eliminate any other motor switches. You will connect the motor
directly to the 3 terminals on the converter.
Otherwise the contacts from the old motor starter will allow feedback to the
control that will damage the unit. The KB control
becomes the motor
starter. The unit should be powered through an electric power disconnect.
When selecting drive size the motor amps cannot exceed the rated output
amps of thecontrol. |
Standard Features:
Operates standard 208/230 VAC 3-phase AC
motors, with 230 VAC input single phase
Power Start provides more than 200% starting torque
30:1 speed range with full motor torque (Speed potentionmeter
(pot)
provided)
(Motor should be inverter rated if using speed control feature)
Controls 50hz and 60hz motors with a convenient
jumper selection
Sinewave coded PWM-provides high motor torque
and efficient operation
16 khz switching frequency-provides
quite motor operations
Motor overload protection
Jumper selections:
Forward-stop-reverse/Enable-automatic-manual
You can use a 3-position toggle switch
Start 0-60,0-120, 0-50hz.
Trimpot adjustments: Minimum Speed-min, Maximum
Speed-Max
Important Application Information: Most fan-cooled (TEFC)
3-phase motors will overheat
if used with an inverter beyond a limited speed
range at full rated torque. Therefore, it is
necessary to reduce motor load
as speed is decreased.
Attention: Your motor amps cannot
exceed the rated output amps of the converter.
Note: Motor can
not be run through contacts. Motor to be wired directly to controller.
Speed
potentionmeter must be connected or the motor will not spin, without
the pot
the speed is set at
zero and you will burn the motor up.
Not Recommended for use on air compressors

Micro Series compact inverters, utilizing the latest microprocessor and advanced IGBT
power conversion devices, these high performance controls program and
read-out in plain English terms, eliminating the frustration and time
involved in looking up confusing coded symbols. Complete, rugged steel
enclosures for NEMA 1 (IP31) service do not require
additional enclosure protection as with many plastic-housed compact
drives. Built-in thermal overload protection reduces additional costs.
Heavy-duty wiring terminals, accessible via three conduit openings on
the bottom of the housing, speeding installation and cut costs.
Unit has on/off buttons and up/down speed control*.

Looking for a phase converter for your 3
phase electric motor? These units will power up to a 3hp motor, with
true 3 phase output, unlike most electronic phase converters that only
output 2/3 the power, these units output 100% of the 3 phase power
needed to run your motor. 230
volts single phase input, 230 volts three phase output.
Note: Motor can
not be run through contacts. Motor to be wired directly to controller. |
