For 40 years KB Electronics, Inc. has dedicated itself to produce the best variable speed controls for AC and DC Drives. From the beginning, the philosophy was "You get more value with KB Drives” and it has never changed. KB’s goal is to give their customers more benefits and better reliability at lower prices. Offering off-the-shelf standard and custom AC and DC motor speed controls, their broad-based product line has gained worldwide acceptance.

One of the biggest complaints about variable frequency drives is the pages and pages of documentation to sift thru and parameters to program before you turn the switch on.

KB analog drives are ready to use right out of the box. Since all drives are factory programmed, it can be as simple as:

Step 1: Connect incoming power.
Step 2: Connect to motor load.
Step 3: Turn power on to drive.
Step 4: Toggle the start switch.
Step 5: Adjust speed by turning the speed potentiometer.
