About the 6KGP43025X9XXXA1
The 6KGP43025X9XXXA1 drive is a General Electric general-purpose drive. It is a 3-phase drive rated at 460 V 25HP.
The front panel of the 6KGP43025X9XXXA1 is designed to accommodate the module’s keypad. This is used as the unit’s interface for control and programming. The keypad can also detach and can be installed as much as ten feet from the unit using an optional remote keypad mounting kit. The off button located on the keypad should not be used as a safety switch since it does not disconnect the mains supply power.
The 6KGP43025X9XXXA1 is housed within an IP20 enclosure. This enclosure gives protection in indoor locations. However, steam, oils, and salts in saltwater can cause corrosion of components and parts. Additionally, dust can cause failure (mechanical, thermal, or electrical.) If your location has any of these hazards, use a different unit with an IP 54/55 rating.
AF-650 drives like this one are capable of open-loop speed control and closed-loop PID speed control. Open-loop control does not require feedback from the motor. Additionally, it is capable of open-loop torque control in one direction, and closed-loop torque control at all motor speeds.
When installing the 6KGP43025X9XXXA1, be sure proper airspace remains for airflow and also for cable access. Enough space to the front of the unit must remain to allow for the opening of the panel door. Additional details regarding installation procedures can be sourced through documentation like GE manuals referring to AF-650 drives. AX Control can help with these documents if you do not have them.
