Where it sits in the control system
The KG8502 is the device-level element in an IFM variable-frequency drive installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — 10...30 V DC (IEC 60947-5-2) — and switches or conditions the load within the 3-phase 400 V AC ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in pump sets, conveyor belts, fan and compressor drives, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides Cabinet / DIN rail support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Selection notes for IFM KG8502
IFM KG8502 Capacitive Sensor. See the manufacturer product information for this catalog number.
- Operating temperature: 0...+40 °C (IEC 60068-2-1) — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
- Rated operational voltage: 3-phase 400 V AC — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
- Supply voltage: 10...30 V DC (IEC 60947-5-2) — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
- Mounting: Cabinet / DIN rail — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
For a discontinued unit, match function and electrical ratings rather than the label alone.
Common questions about KG8502
Q.Where can I find the overload capacity data for KG8502?
It is listed in the specification table for IFM KG8502 as yes. Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.For KG8502, what does the specification table state about certifications?
The specification table lists certifications = CE, cULus for IFM KG8502. Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.Which value is published under enclosure rating for catalog number KG8502?
For KG8502, enclosure rating is given as IP20 (IEC 60529). Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.Can the KG8502 replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number KG8502 and the ratings above with the nameplate of the installed device. A current-production equivalent is selected by function and electrical rating, not by the label alone.
Q.How do I confirm compatibility of KG8502 before ordering?
Match the catalog number KG8502 and the specification values listed above against the installed unit, then confirm the firmware or hardware revision where a revision-sensitive part is involved.
