About the 40V4160
The 40V4160 unit is a three phase AC drive that comes from Reliance Electric as part of the GV3000 line of drives. This particular drive is a 40 HP, 50/60Hz, 30kW model with an updated 6.0 regulator version and a small built-in keypad display. As part of a GV3000 legacy series, The 40V4160 AC drive is no longer being produced by Reliance Electric, but AX Control regularly keeps this product in stock for your convenience. This particular product, as an oftentimes refurbished model of GV3000 drive, is additionally available to repair by our team of knowledgeable service technicians, and comes with a standard lead repair time of one to two weeks, with an optional 72hr rush repair upgrade.
Hardware Specifications and Tips
This particular style and horsepower rating of GV3000 series drive has several specific components necessary for proper operation and maintenance. A more extensive list than bookshelf-mounted lower-horsepower drives in the same legacy series, the 10V4160 unit consists of:
- a Fan
- an Internal Fan Assembly
- a Power Supply printed circuit board
- a Membrane Switch (Keypad/Bracket)
- a Gate Driver printed circuit board
- a Regulator Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
- Bus Capacitors
- an IGBT Module
- a Diode Bridge
- a Power PCB
- a Wire Harness
- a Type 1/IP20 enclosure
It is important to realize that while this drive's type1/IP20 enclosure is rated for sufficient protection against solid objects up to 12mm, the enclosure additionally has an IP rating of 0 in terms of liquid protection and should be kept away from liquids in lieu of fatal fault avoidance. Please note too that this 40 HP model of GV3000 series drive does not require the use of a current feedback PCB, as many lower-horsepower models do. More information on 40V4160 drive hardware components can be found in Reliance Electrics' exhaustive Instructional Manual D2-3359 & D2-3360, available through this page's "manuals" tab.
Dimensions
A large unit by all definitions, the 40V4160 drive weighs in at a hefty 52.00 lbs or 23.60 kg, and stands at 23.82" inches tall with a width of 14.80 inches. The general thickness of the drive can be described as jutting 13.78" inches from the drive's baseplate. This drive has been specially designed for functionality with the use of wires with a thickness of 4 AWG (2X), or 28 mm².
Software Specifications and Tips
The 40V4160 AC drive has a total of seven parameters that can be displayed on its small built-in keypad display screen. These parameters are represented with the codes P.000 through P.006. In order, these parameter codes represent the following: operation control, acceleration time (in seconds), deceleration time (in seconds), minimum speed (in Hertz), maximum speed (in Hertz), current limit, and second menu enable/password.
The 40V4160 AC drive has a total of eleven fault codes that can be displayed on its small display screen, representing a number of common drive function faults. The fault codes are listed here: OC - overcurrent (steady state), OCA - overcurrent (accelerating), OCD - overcurrent (decelerating), HU - high bus voltage, LU - low bus voltage, OL - electronic thermal overload, OH - controller high temperature, FL - external function loss asserted, OSP - overspeed, PH - output phase loss, and OF - overfrequency. For descriptions of the various causes of these faults, as well as information on how to attempt corrective action when faced a fault, Reliance Electric offers an informative and helpful guide with their Software Start-Up and Reference Manual D2-3359-6.
Compatibilities
While impressive in its hardware and software specifications alone, this 40 HP model of GV3000 legacy drive is a compatible with a number of regulator boards for sale here at AXcontrol that should optimize the performance of your automated drive. Some 6.0 regulator boards compatible with the 40V4160 drive's 6.0 regulator version include:
- Regulator Board 0-56921-601, a 6.0 version regulator board also functional with power module style GV3000 drives
- Regulator Board 0-56921-604, a regulator board with a seven-way segmented LED display
- Regulator Board 0-56921-606, a regulator board compatible with many 230-460 VAC input voltage-rated drives.
