STANDARD FEATURES
• Simple to Operate – Does not r
equire programming. Uses trimpots and
j
umpers, which are factory set for most applications.
•
D
iagnostic LEDs
–
Power on (PWR) and drive status (ST).
•
Signal Isolation – Provides an isolated interface between non-isolated sig-
n
al sources and the drive. (Standard on Models KBVF-45, 48. See Note 3.)
•
Run/Fault Relay Output Contacts – Can be used to turn on or off equip-
ment or to signal a warning if the drive is put into the Stop Mode or a fault
has occurred. (Standard on Models KBVF-45, 48. See Note 3.)
•
Jumper Selection of Drive Output Frequency – Increases the motor
speed up to two times the rated RPM.
•
Compatible with GFCIs (with optional softwar
e).
• Industry Standard Mounting.
• Finger-Safe Cover – Meets IP-20 standard.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
• Power Start™ – Provides more than 200% starting torque which ensures
startup of high frictional loads.
•
Slip Compensation with Static Auto-Tune and Boost – Provides excellent
load regulation over a wide speed range.
•
Speed Range – 60:1
PROTECTION FEATURES
• Motor Overload (I
2
t) with RMS Current Limit – Provides motor overload
protection which prevents motor burnout and eliminates nuisance trips.

•
Motor Filter – Reduces harmful voltage spikes to the motor.

Notes: 1. UL approved as an electronic overload protector for motors. 2. Requires optional software. 3. Signal Isolator and Run/Fault Relay is standard on Models KBVF-45, 48 and optional on all other models. 4. Models KBVF-21D, 22D contain ICL in
lieu of EICL™.
5. Only Models KBVF-21D, 22D, 13, 23, 23D, 14, 24, 24D, 26D contain Motor Filter. 6. In 50 Hz Mode, the DEC/B Trimpot automatically becomes Adjustable Boost.
DESCRIPTION
The KBVF Adjustable Frequency Drives provide variable speed control
for standard 208-230 and 400/460 Volt 50 & 60 Hz 3-phase & PSC AC
induction motors from subfractional thru 5 HP. The sine wave coded Pulse
Width Modulated (PWM) output operates at a carrier frequency of 16 kHz,
which provides high motor efficiency and low noise. Adjustable linear accel-
eration and deceleration are provided, making the drive suitable for soft-
start applications.
Due to its user-friendly design, the KBVF is easy to install and oper-
ate. Tailoring to specific applications is accomplished with selectable
jumpers and trimpots, which eliminate the computer-like programming
required on other drives. However, for most applications no adjustments
are necessary. For more advanced programming, PC based Drive-Link™
software is available.
Main features include adjustable RMS Current Limit and I
2
t Motor
Overload Protection.

In addition, Adjustable Slip Compensation with Static
Auto-Tune and Boost provides high torque and excellent load regulation
over a wide speed range. Power Start™ delivers over 200% motor torque
to ensure startup of high frictional loads. Electronic Inrush Current Limit
(EICL™) eliminates harmful AC line inrush current.

The drive is suitable for
machine or variable torque (HVAC) applications. With optional software, the
drive can be programmed for DC Injection Braking.
For AC line and motor wiring, Models KBVF-21D, 22D, 13, 23, 23D,
14, 24, 24D, 26D contain quick-connect terminals. Models KBVF-27, 29,
45, 48 contain a Barrier Terminal Block. Other features include: adjustable
trimpots (CL, MAX, MIN, DEC/B

ACC, COMP), customer selectable
jumpers (Line Voltage (dual voltage models only), Automatic-Manual
Start/Reset, Motor Fr
equency
, Fr
equency Multiplier
, Forwar
d/Reverse).
Diagnostic LEDs are provided for power (PWR) and drive status (ST).
A Signal Isolator and Run/Fault Relay Output Contacts are provided
on Models KBVF-45, 48 and are optional on all other models. Other option-
al accessories include: Class “A” and “B” AC Line Filters, Dynamic Brake
Module, Multi-Speed Board, Programming Kit, and Modbus
Communication Module. A connector is pr
ovided for easy installation of
accessories. A 5 k
Ω
Main Speed Potentiometer is also included.
