About the 30V4060
The 30V4060 is a 30 HP GV3000/SE AC Drive. It is the 6.06 version of this drive created by Reliance Electric. Baldor Reliance and ASEA Brown Boveri may have also produced this model of drive depending on its manufacturing years. This is a legacy series drive and may not be easily found. AX Control, however, still makes every attempt to keep it stocked.
The 30V4060 is a 3-phase AC drive that has the capacity to switch between vector and volts/hertz regulation. It weighs right around 32 pounds. It is 360/460 VAC. It has a max input amps of 45 and is 60 Hz. It has a 40 amp AC output. It has an 85 kiloamp short circuit system rating at 460 VAC.
The 30V4060 is surrounded by a NEMA 1 type chassis. It can not be used for outside applications because it does not have a dust/drip-tight enclosure. It contains air vents along its sides and back. There is an RS-232 9-pin female connection port slightly below the keypad that is in the top right-hand corner of the faceplate. In the top left-hand corner of the faceplate is a large red power LED light that glows when the drive is receiving power. The 30V4060-model of GV3000 drive's chassis comes equipped with:
- A large terminal strip on the bottom with three terminal screws.
- A smaller terminal strip on top of the drive with five corresponding terminal screws
- The built-in keypad standard with all GV/3000 SE drives. The keypad allows the user to read the display that is located on the regulator by providing a clear display. The regulator is connected to the keypad using a bracket that is attached to the keypad.
Even the most careful of vintage or refurbished GV3000 series drive maintainers will have difficultly avoiding the occasional fault in drive function. One fault relevant specifically to the owner of the 30V4060 model is the default parameter restore checksum error fault caused either by a regulator board failure during drive operation, represented by the fault code CHS on the drive's built-in keypad display. Corrective action when faced with the default parameter restore checksum error fault is to contact Reliance Electric, or to replace the drive's keypad-attached regulator board. If additional problems should persist with the 30V4060 model after replacement of the regulator board, Reliance Electric would need to be contacted for next steps.
