About the 3V4150
Operated by an all-digital vector sinusoidal pulse-width modulated control method, The 3V4150 drive from Reliance Electrics' GV3000 drive series is a 3 HP, 50/60Hz NEMA 1-enclosed indoor drive with an input voltage rating of 380-460 VAC. Like any other member of a discontinued GV3000 legacy series, The 3V4150 drive is not manufactured anymore by Reliance Electric, but here at AX Control we make every possible effort to keep this product in stock for your convenience. You can verify this item’s availability in our stock above, with the quote or repair request buttons supplied on this page.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
This Reliance Electric drive is an option from the GV3000 legacy series, and offers a NEMA 1-type enclosure ideal for curbing outside infiltration of hazardous drive components. Due to the vented style of this drive's chassis, the 3V4150 is not recommended for outdoor or mixed applications. This NEMA 1 enclosure also contains a communication port access door for convenient access to the regulator board's RS-232 ports. Beyond the 3V4150 drive's NEMA 1 chassis, this legacy model comes equipped with a number of important hardware components, including:
-
A fan assembly
-
A keypad or bracket-mounted Membrane Switch
-
A Regulator printed circuit board
-
An internal fan assembly
-
A Capacitor printed circuit board with input capacitors
-
A current feedback printed circuit board
-
A built-in LED keypad display
-
Ten to eleven Scaled Signal Analog Input Terminals
These hardware components are available in diagram form under the "manuals" tab of this product page. It is important to to note that 3 HP models of GV3000 series legacy drive do not necessitate some of the hardware components required for many 15 or 20 HP models; including a gate driver board or a power supply board. This model of GV3000 series drive features a mounting bracket for easy regulator board installation, and can be paraphrased as a 3 HP, 2.2kW, NEMA 1-enclosed indoor vector drive with a 380-460 VAC input voltage rating.
Software Tips and Specifications
While offering a robust and unique set of hardware components, the 3V4150 drive from Reliance Electric is configured with intuitive and user-friendly software programming features. The 3V4150, like many programmable automated drives, may encounter the occasional functional fault. These faults in machine productivity are always displayed on the drive's aforementioned built-in display by a series of fault codes described in Reliance Electrics' Software Start-Up and Reference Manual D2-3359-6.
One fault sometimes experienced by owners of the 3V4150 GV3000 series drive is the drive power electronic overload fault, symbolized on the drive's interface by the fault code PUo. This fault is caused by the drive's overloaded power module, and too high of a DC braking current. To correct the PUo fault and return to normal drive operation, corrective action needs to be taken. The necessary corrective action when faced with the power electronic overload fault would be to check the drive's load on its power module, and to check the sizing of the power module relative to its application. If the problem is not found to be with either of these elements, then additional checks to the drive's DC braking current and torque boost parameters are needed.
Compatibilities
The Reliance Electric 3V4150 drive is customizable through the installation of a number of different types of regulator board available here at AXcontrol. Some of these options include:
- Regulator board 0-56921-502, a 5.2 version regulator board equipped with an analog input, isolated gate bipolar transistors, and Form A and Form B contact points
- Regulator board 0-56921-512, a regulator control board with a standard-issue microprocessor attachment and LED display
- Regulator board 0-56921-511, a regulator board with power circuit feedback and external speed reference capabilities
