Product catalog summary
Description: The Multi-Drive™ is a state-of-the-art variable speed DC motor control designed for versatility and reliability. It supports both 115V and 230V AC inputs, adjustable via a Dual Voltage Switch, and can accommodate a wide range of motors using a Plug-in Horsepower Resistor®.
Standard Model: The KBMD-240D model controls motors up to 3/4 Hp at 115V and 1 1/2 Hp at 230V. With an optional Auxiliary Heatsink, the capacity increases to 1 Hp at 115V and 2 Hp at 230V. An optional Forward-Brake-Reverse Switch Kit enhances functionality.
Features: Key features include a rugged aluminum enclosure, keyhole slots for mounting, an AC power indicator, an ON/OFF switch, a speed control knob, and a built-in AC line fuse. The control also includes trimpots for MIN, MAX, IR, CL, ACCEL, and DECEL adjustments.
Specifications: The speed range is 50:1 with load regulation at 1% and line voltage regulation at 0.5%. The control linearity is 2%, and the CL/Torque range is 0-200%. The ACCEL/DECEL time ranges from 0.2 to 10 seconds. The maximum ambient temperature is 40°C (105°F).
Electrical Ratings: The control supports a motor voltage of 90-130 VDC at 115V AC input and 180 VDC at 230V AC input. The maximum AC load current is 12.0 RMS Amps, and the maximum DC load current is 8.0 Avg. Amps without the heatsink, increasing to 16.0 RMS Amps and 11.0 Avg. Amps with the heatsink.
Optional Features: The Auxiliary Heatsink (P/N SC-9861) extends the control rating, and the Forward-Brake-Reverse Switch (P/N SC-9860) includes a dynamic brake resistor.
Applications: Typical applications include conveyors, packaging machines, feeders, and printing equipment. CE compliance requires the KBRF-200A RFI Filter.
Mechanical Specifications: The control dimensions are provided for both configurations with and without the Auxiliary Heatsink.

Allows a single model to be used on a wide range of motors. • Dual Voltage Switch. Used to select AC line voltage operation of 115 or 230V. • Built-in AC Line Fuse • MOV Transient Protection (20 JOULE) • Trimpots: MIN, MAX, IR, CL, ACCEL, DECEL OPTIONAL FEATURES • Auxiliary Heatsink (P/N SC-9861). Extends control rating to 1 Hp at 115V and 2 Hp at 230V. • Forward-Brake-Reverse Switch (P/N SC-9860). Includes switch and prewired dynamic brake resistor. Load Regulation Line Voltage Regulation Multi-Drive™ represents the latest in state-of-the-art design for variable speed DC motor controls. It is rugged and compact is size and is able to handle both 115 and 230V AC line inputs by setting the built-in Dual Voltage Switch. In addition, the single model can be used on a wide range of motors by selecting and inserting the appropriate Plug-in Horsepower Resistor®. The standard model, KBMD-240D, controls all motors through 5/4 Hp at 115V and 1 >2 Hp at 230V. By installing the KB Auxiliary Heatsink, the horsepower range is increased to 1 Hp at 115V and 2 Hp at 230V. The versatility of the control is enhanced with the optional Forward-Brake-Reverse Switch Kit. The electronics for the Multi-Drive™ consists of KB's patented KBMM™ speed control module. Its field-proven reliability is confirmed by over 100,000 controls presently in operation. The KBMM™ module is housed in a rugged metal (not plastic, like other inexpensive drives) enclosure. Keyhole slots facilitate mounting while a readily accessible terminal block simplifies wiring. Included with each control is a detailed instruction and user manual. Control Linearity CL/Torque Range MIN Speed Trimpot Range MAX Speed Trimpot Range A Rating indicated is with Auxiliary Heatsink. Maximum rating without Auxiliary Heatsink is 1/2 Hp at 115V and 1 Hp at 230V. * Performance is for 90V PM motors on 115 VAC and 180V PM motors on 230 VAC.
