About the 2V4160
Equipped with the updated 6.0 regulator version that is quickly becoming the industry standard for GV3000 series drives, this 2V4160 model of drive has been discontinued for manufacturing by its original manufacturer Reliance Electric. In the years since its original discontinuation in 2009, however, a number of trusted retailers have recognized the true industry relevance of this model and have resumed their own mass production of this 3 phase drive. While the market availability of many drives in the GV3000 series is limited by their legacy statuses, this drive has a generally solid market availability, perhaps influenced by its low horsepower rating and basic protective chassis. This drive is available for both repair and replacement here at AXcontrol, with a standard lead repair time of one to two weeks and a two-year guaranteed warranty upon purchase.
Hardware Tips and Specifications

- 50/60HZ
- 380-460VAC
- pulse-width-modulated modulation
- dual regulation capabilities including both V/Hz and vector regulation
- vector-regulation adjustable motor speed parameters
- a vector regulation induced burst of output current of 150% for 1 minute
- a KVA of 3.3 and a power loss of 100 watts
- an input of 4.2A and an output of 3.4A
- It requires a fuse that is rated 8A
- It also requires specific environmental conditions including a 5-95% non-condensing humidity and an operating temperature between 0 and +40 degrees Celsius
This drive's enclosure is a type 1 NEMA enclosure which means that it is only meant for inside usage and has a small communication port door that can access the RS-232 port on the regulator. Its dimensions are 280.7 mm tall, 222.3 mm wide, and 200mm thick. It weighs around 6.3 kg. The keypad on the 2V4160 is built-in. It has a bracket attached to it that allows for the mounting of the regulator PCB. This regulator has microprocessors and is the main component in charge of drive regulation. The user is able to adjust the parameters for the drive using the keypad/display. There are display LEDs on the keypad that let the user know about the status and fault codes for the drive. The best manual or manuals to use when operating or installing the 2V4160 AC drive are the GV3000U-UM060K-EN-P which gives information on what drive type the unit is and the cross-reference part numbers and the D2-3360-5 manual, which provides all information on troubleshooting, installation, and hardware references.
Software Tips and Specifications
A frequent fault that may be encountered by owners or installers of the 2V4160 drive is the drive over temperature fault, represented on the drive interface as the code OH. This fault occurs due to a failure of the drive's cooling fan, and is corrected by checking the drives' ambient temperature, cooling fan, and the minimum clearance of four inches required for proper installation of the drive. After experiencing a debilitating drive function fault such as the OH fault here, it may be necessary or desirable to clear the fault in the drive's error log. Accessible through 2V4160's first menu of programmable parameters, clearing your GV3000 drive's error log does not require the knowledge of the second menu parameter password issued by the factory retailer. When done correctly, as described in Reliance Electrics' GV3000/SE AC Drive Software Reference Version 6.06, the entire drive error log should be reset, without the displaying of a singular value.
Compatibilities
As with any drive from the GV3000 series with a 6.0 regulator version, this 2V4160 model is compatible with a number of 6.0-type regulator boards available here at AXcontrol, including:
