Hybrid Drive

A Digital AC Drive with Analog Interface

KBWA-22D Non-Vented NEMA 1 / IP 50 Enclosure
KBWA-23D Vented NEMA 1 / IP 20 Enclosure

Primary Features

Horsepower 1/8 to 1/2 HP*
Input 115 and 230 VAC - 1ph
Output 230 VAC - 3ph
Starting Torque 200%
Front Panel Power On/Off Switch

GFCI Compatible

With factory programming, allows the equipment
to operate with Ground Fault Circuit Interruption

circuit breakers or outlets.

Benefits

Saves Time

Easy to Install and Simple to Operate
Does not require programming
or 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.

Customization for OEM’s

When an off the shelf drive does not meet your needs, we 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.

*Lower horsepower models available ( KBWA-21D, 2P3D, 2P6D).

Additional Features

Sensorless Flux Vector Control

Flux Vector Compensation with Static Auto-Tune provides excellent speed regulation
with high torque loads throughout the entire speed range. Auto energy saving at light
loads. Smooth motor torque.

Electronic Inrush Current Limit (EICL™) Protection

Eliminates harmful inrush AC line current during power up.

Ride-Through

Provides smooth recovery to the previous set speed during a momentary power loss.

Holding Torque at Zero Speed

Resists motor shaft rotation when the drive is in “Stop” mode.

Regeneration Protection

Eliminates tripping due to high bus voltage caused by rapid deceleration of high
inertial loads.

Undervoltage and Overvoltage Protection

Shuts down the drive if the AC line input voltage goes above or below
the operating range.

Short Circuit Protection

Shuts down the drive if a short circuit occurs at the motor (phase-to-phase).

Trimpot Adjustments
