About the 7V4160
The 7V4160 unit is a GV3000 series AC drive that was brought to the market by the company Reliance Electric. The GV3000 drive series is now a legacy series. Therefore, the 7V4160 AC drive and all of the other AC drives in that series are not being produced by their original manufacturer anymore. However, the staff at AX Control understand that these AC drives are important to the operations of some facilities, so we make our best effort to supply these AC drives for the convenience of our customers.
On the front part of the 7V4160 AC drive, you will see the accessible keypad, LED status indicators, and four-digit display screen. This is the operator interface area, which is designed with large buttons and numbers so that it is easy to use and easy to read.
The 7V4160 AC drive is outfitted with the enclosure rating NEMA 1. This enclosure is vented and is designed with a small door that is meant to provide an access point for the communication port. With the inclusion of this communication port access door, you will not need to remove the cover of the 7V4160 AC drive. The NEMA 1 enclosure is best suited for drives that are used inside rather than outside.
The input for the 7V4160 AC drive is rated at 380-460 VAC (+/-10%), 10.7 kVA, and 13.4 A. The output of the 7V4160 AC drive is rated at 11.1 A no matter what kHz rating it is running on. For the power loss, at full load it is rated at 210 W.
Lower-horsepower indoor drives like the 7V4160 have their fair share of faults, just as more rugged higher-voltage GV3000 legacy series drives do. With proper maintenance, as well as a complete understanding of fault codes and programming for the Reliance Electric GV3000 drive, this should be no cause for panic. One fault that has disrupted proper function of this 7 HP drive for many operators in the past can be defined as the incorrect precharge status fault, signified by the presence of the fault code bYC on the drive's built-in keypad display. This fault is caused by a precharge initiation followed by an incorrect returned precharge status. Corrective action when encountering this bYC fault would be to check the functional operation of the precharge. For more advice on GV3000 legacy series fault codes and fault troubleshooting, a comprehensive online guide is available with Reliance Electric's instructional manual D2-3359 & D2-3360.
