1 QUICK-START INSTRUCTIONS
Important – You must read these simplied instructions before proceeding. These instructions are to
be used as a reference only and are not intended to replace the details provided herein. You must read
the Safety Warning on page 5 before proceeding.
Reconditioning the Bus Capacitors – If this drive has been in storage for over one year, it is
necessary to recondition the power supply bus capacitors. To recondition the bus capacitors, apply the
AC Line with the drive in the Stop Mode for a minimum of one hour. Not following this procedure will
cause the bus capacitors to fail.
See Figure 1. Also see Section 4 - Important Application Information on Page 13.
WARNING! Disconnect main power before making connections to the drive.

position. See Section 6.4 on page 18.
1.6 Start/Stop Switch – The drive is supplied with a prewired Start/Stop Switch to electronically
“start” and “stop” the drive, as described in Section 5.5 on page 16. This switch must be used to
“start” the drive each time the AC line is applied to the drive or to “restart” the drive. Also see
Section 6.8 on page 19.
1.7 Jumper Settings – All jumpers have been factory set for most applications, as shown in Figure 2
on page 9. However, some jumpers may need to be set in order to tailor the drive for a specic
application. See Section 6 on pages 18 – 20.
IMPORTANT: In order to ensure that the motor is properly protected with the I2t Overload
Protection feature, it is required that Jumper J2 is set to the corresponding position for the motor
horsepower being used, as shown in Figure 18 on page 18.
1.8 Trimpot Settings – All trimpots have been factory set for most applications, as shown in Figure 2
on page 9. Some applications require adjustment of the trimpots in order to tailor the drive for a
specic requirement. See Section 13 on pages 23 – 26.

3 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the KBAC Adjustable Frequency Drive. KB Electronics, Inc. is committed to pro-
viding total customer satisfaction by producing quality products that are easy to install and operate. The
KBAC is manufactured with surface mount components incorporating advanced circuitry and technology.
The drives are variable speed controls housed in a rugged NEMA-4X / IP-65 washdown and watertight
die-cast aluminum enclosure. They are designed to operate 208 – 230 and 400/460 Volt 50 & 60 Hz
3-phase AC induction motors from subfractional thru 5HP. The sine wave coded Pulse Width Modulated
(PWM) output operates at a carrier frequency of 16 kHz which provides high motor eciency and low
noise. Adjustable Linear Acceleration and Deceleration are provided, making the drive suitable for
soft-start applications.
Due to its user-friendly design, the KBAC AC drive is easy to install and operate. Tailoring to specic
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 I2t 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
start-up of high frictional loads. Electronic Inrush Current Limit (EICL™) eliminates harmful AC line inrush
current. A Run/Fault Relay is provided, which can be used to turn equipment on or o , to signal a
warning if the drive is put into the Stop Mode, or if a fault has occurred. The drive is suitable for machine
or variable torque (HVAC) applications. Also, a jumper is provided for selection of Regenerative or
DC Injection Braking.
Standard front panel features include Diagnostic LEDs for “Power On” and “Drive Status”, a Start/Stop
Switch, and a Main Speed Potentiometer. Other features include a Barrier Terminal Block to facilitate
wiring of the AC line and motor, adjustable trimpots (MIN, MAX, ACCEL, DECEL, COMP, CL, JOG, BOOST),
customer selectable jumpers (Line Voltage - dual voltage models only), Motor Horsepower, Automatic
Ride-Through / Manual Start, Motor Frequency, Frequency Multiplier, Fixed/Adjustable Boost, Regenerative / Injection Braking, “Run” or “Fault” Output Relay Operation, NO/NC Stop Contact, Constant/Variable
Torque and I2t Overload Selection).
Optional accessories include: Forward-Stop-Reverse Switch, On/O AC Line Switch, Run-Stop-Jog Switch,
Signal Isolator, Auto/Manual Switch, Class ”A” AC Line Filter, Multi-Speed Board and Liquidtight Fittings.
A connector is provided for easy installation of accessories. Custom software: all models can be factory
programmed for applications which require special timing, PLC functions, and GFCI operation – contact
our Sales Department.
*UL approved as an electronic overload protector for motors.
