About the 2v4140
The 2V4140 Reliance Electric automated drive is a rather difficult product to obtain, for a number of reasons. The primary barrier to acquiring a 2V4140 drive has to be defined as its outdated regulator version. Rated at 4.0 (the final two digits of the drive's part number), the 2V4140 drive features a 4.0 regulator version rated two versions below the current industry-standard 6.0 regulator board. Another barrier to acquiring the 2V4140 drive may be its general market availability. This 2 volt drive, as indicated by its aforementioned 4.0 regulator version, is a discontinued drive manufactured as part of a GV3000 legacy series. Originally manufactured by Reliance Electric, this drive may have been put together by other trusted retailers such as ABB, Baldor Electric, or Rockwell Automation in the years past its original discontinuation in 2009. This particular model of legacy drive is available for both purchase and repair here at AXcontrol, with a standard lead time of one to two weeks for repairs.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The 2V4140 Drive is part of Reliance Electric's GV3000 Series of drives. This particular drive is a three-phase drive with a built-in keypad. This particular drive features a regulator version of 4.0, which lends itself to 2V4140's 2 HP rating and 1.5kW kilo wattage rating. This drive features a Hz rating of 50/60 Hz and specifically carries an input KVA of 3.3, all based on the drives' input amps of 4.2 and output amps of 3.4 amps. The power loss wattage rating for the GV3000 2V4140 stands at 100 at a full load. It is worth noting that this GV3000 legacy series drive is enclosed by an IP20-type enclosure; generally protective against foreign objects 12.5mm in total surface area and above. While custom-made, this IP20 enclosure is not considered waterproofed as it carries water and dust-proof ingress protection ratings of 0. With this in mind, please treat the 2V4140 drive as a solely-indoor model, and limit its exposure to the elements for nominal function.
Software Tips and Specifications
A number of significant faults can impact even the careful 2V4140 maintainer. One such fault exists in the spurious host PC communications interrupt, signified on the 2V4140 Drive's interface as UAr. This fault is oftentimes caused due to a regulator board failure, and can be rectified with the proper corrective action of replacing this drive's regulator board. Make sure to allow correct positioning of the regulator board, so that the PCB is correctly plugged into the display keypad using 2V4140's J9 port, and so that the regulator board's LED display and RS-232 port both remain visible.
One other fault that may be experienced by users of the 2V4140 GV3000 series drive is the missing power module ID connector, which is symbolized by the fault code PUc on the built-in keypad display. This fault is due to a bad or disconnected cable between the regulator and the power module, and correct action to fix this drive fault would include checking the cables between the regulator and the power board, while ensuring the correct power module of 8.
Compatibilities
The 2V4140 drive is considered a relatively outdated version of 2 HP GV3000 series drive; sporting a regulator version of 4.0, two entire regulator versions below the industry standard 6.0 regulator version seen in many lower-horsepower drives. While not available for purchase on many current official retailer websites, we attempt to keep a fully-stocked inventory of 4.0-type regulator boards and option boards to fit any automated drive need you have. We proudly offer several 4.0-type regulator boards that may be compatible with the 2V4140 model, including:
Please make sure to confirm correct voltage congruence between your 2V4140 drive and any 4.0-type regulatory board before purchase or installation.
