Where it sits in the control system
The KI3501 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 1-phase 200-240 V / 3-phase 380-480 V 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 non-flush mountable support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
