Product catalog summary

Primary Features
The KBVF series offers a range of features including horsepower from 1/10 to 5 HP, compatibility with 115/230/460 VAC inputs, and outputs of 230/460 VAC in 3-phase. It provides 200% starting torque and includes power and status indicators. The drives are GFCI compatible, allowing operation with ground fault circuit interruption circuit breakers or outlets, though factory programming is required.

Benefits
The KBVF drives are designed to save time with easy installation and operation, requiring no commissioning and being operational in under 10 minutes. They extend motor life through proprietary CL software that offers overload protection and prevents motor burnout. Energy savings are achieved by using only the power required for the application, significantly reducing energy costs. Customization options are available for OEMs, including pre-calibration, custom labeling, and software adjustments.

Applications
The drives are suitable for a wide range of applications such as actuators, air cleaners, amusement rides, CNC machines, conveyors, elevators, HVAC systems, and more. They feature sensorless flux vector control for excellent speed regulation and smooth motor torque, electronic inrush current limit protection, ride-through capability, holding torque at zero speed, regeneration protection, and undervoltage/overvoltage protection.

Specifications
The drives support a maximum load of 150% of current overload for 2 minutes, with a carrier switching frequency of 16 or 8 kHz. The output frequency resolution is 0.06 Hz, with a minimum output frequency of 0.3 Hz. Acceleration and deceleration times range from 0.3 to 20 seconds, with a speed range ratio of 60:1 and speed regulation of 2.5% base speed. The operating temperature range is 0 – 40°C (32 – 104°F), and storage temperature is -25 – +85°C (-13 – +185°F).

Drive Options
Additional options include the SIVFR signal isolator and run fault relay, DIVF Modbus serial communication module, RFI filters, dynamic brake module, multi-speed board, and main speed potentiometer. These options enhance the drive's functionality and adaptability to various applications.

KBVF Hybrid Drive A Digital AC Drive with Analog Interface IP20 Enclosure Primary Features Horsepower 1/10 to 5 HP 115/230/460 VAC - 1ph & 3ph Input Output 230/460 VAC - 3ph 200% Starting Torque Power and Status Indicators GFCI Compatible Allows equipment to operate with Ground Fault Circuit Interruption circuit breakers or outlets. (Factory programming required.) Benefits Saves Time Easy to Install and Simple to Operate Does not require commissioning. Up and running in less than 10 minutes. Motors Last Longer Proprietary CL Software Provides overload protection, prevents motor burnout and eliminates nuisance tripping. UL approved as electronic overload protector for motors. Energy Saving Uses only the power the application requires. Replacing constant speed with variable speed will significantly reduce energy costs. When an off the shelf drive does not meet your needs, KB will work with you to provide a custom drive solution, Ready to Use, “Out-of-the-Box.” Customization includes: Pre-calibrating or programming of a stock control, adding a custom label or branding, custom software, PLC functions or designing a new control.
