Hybrid motor drive

By definition, a hybrid is the merging of two technologies. These drives combine thedigital technologyof the microprocessor with an easy to use模拟接口. Simple trimpot adjustments and selectable jumpers are used instead of complicated programming. You will be up and running in less than 10 minutes.

Applications for this hybrid drive technology

These new inverter products meet a broad spectrum of customer requirements. Conveyor systems, food and beverage systems, industrial fans and pumps will utilize the KBAC technology. The simple and robust design can be specified in retail, factory floor or harsh outdoor environments.

Built with all environmental considerations and the latest product safety in mind, these NEMA 4X / IP65 drives are housed in our newly designed heavy-duty die-cast aluminum package “C” enclosures.

In addition, S-suffix models (e.g. KBAC-217S) contain a state of the art mechanical interlock on/off switch equipped with a safety lockout feature that can be used with a padlock, which prevents the drive from being turned on while the related equipment is being serviced.

An AC Line filter, which is available for all models, provides Class “A” RFI (EMI) suppression and complies with CE Council Directive 89/336/EEC Industrial Standard. Add suffix “F” to any drive model.

“我们很高兴摩托的扩大我们的产品线r controls up to 10 HP” says Thomas Dalton, VP GM, KB Electronics, Inc. “This new model series of KBAC drives, in addition to a full line of accessories, will meet demanding customer requirements and be a great addition to our product line.”
