Reliance Electric 1AC5005C

The 1AC5005C is a 5HP (3.7kW) general‑purpose open‑loop V/Hz AC variable‑speed drive from the Reliance Electric GP‑1200 series, designed for 200/230VAC three‑phase input (global/Asian standard). It features a chassis‑style (open‑frame) enclosure for indoor light industrial and commercial use. Now discontinued, it is available as new old stock or refurbished units for legacy system replacement and maintenance.

Description

Product Description

The 1AC5005C is a 5HP (3.7kW) general‑purpose open‑loop V/Hz AC variable‑speed drive from the Reliance Electric GP‑1200 series, designed for 200/230VAC three‑phase input (global/Asian standard). It features a chassis‑style (open‑frame) enclosure for indoor light industrial and commercial use. Now discontinued, it is available as new old stock or refurbished units for legacy system replacement and maintenance.

Model Number Interpretation

  • 1: First‑generation GP‑1200 series platform

  • AC: AC variable‑speed drive

  • 5: 200/230VAC voltage class

  • 005: 5HP power rating

  • C: Chassis (open‑frame) version, 200/230VAC dual input, global market

Technical Specifications

  • Input: Three‑phase 200/230VAC ±10%, 50/60Hz; maximum input current 16.7A; input KVA 6.6kVA

  • Output: Three‑phase 0–230VAC; maximum output current 14.2A; rated motor current 13.5A

  • Power: 5HP (3.7kW) continuous

  • Control: Open‑loop V/Hz; speed ratio 20:1; output frequency 0–400Hz; variable torque curves and torque boost

  • Enclosure: Chassis (open‑frame), IP00 (indoor use only, requires additional enclosure)

  • Protection: Overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, overtemperature, short circuit, ground fault, motor stall, line transient protection

  • Ambient: 0–45°C, 5%–95% RH (non‑condensing)

  • Weight: Approximately 11.3kg (25lb)

Interface and Communication Configuration

  • Power Terminals: L1/L2/L3 (three‑phase input), U/V/W (motor output), PE (protective earth)

  • Control Terminals: Digital inputs for start/stop, forward/reverse, fault reset; analog input 0–10VDC for speed reference; relay output for fault indication (250VAC/5A)

  • Communication: No onboard communication ports; hardwired control only

  • Indicators: Two LEDs; green for power/run, red (IET) for drive fault

Core Functions

  • Open‑loop V/Hz control with adjustable torque curves and torque boost for reliable starting and steady‑state operation

  • Dual 200/230VAC input optimized for global and Asian power grids

  • 0–10VDC analog speed input compatible with potentiometers and PLCs

  • Comprehensive electrical and thermal protection safeguards drive and motor

  • Direct drop‑in replacement for legacy 1AC series chassis drives, ensuring compatibility with existing wiring and control schemes

Application Scenarios

  • Small‑to‑medium conveyors, fans, pumps, mixers, and processing machinery with 5HP motors in 200/230VAC regions

  • Light manufacturing, commercial HVAC, and ventilation systems operating on 200/230VAC three‑phase power

  • Retrofit and maintenance of older industrial and commercial AC drive installations with chassis‑style requirements

Usage and Maintenance Instructions

  • Mount vertically in a clean, dry, well‑ventilated indoor area with adequate clearance for cooling airflow; install in a protective enclosure if exposed to dust or moisture

  • Use rated copper conductors; separate power and control cables to minimize electromagnetic interference

  • Inspect all connections before power‑up; check terminals and wiring periodically for looseness or corrosion

  • Disconnect power before cleaning; use a dry cloth only—do not use liquids or chemical cleaners

  • Routinely monitor heat sinks and terminals for signs of overheating

  • Diagnose faults via onboard LED indicators; resolve all issues before restarting the drive

  • Avoid static electricity discharge; do not disassemble the unit without professional guidance

  • Store spare units in a cool, dry, dust‑free environment
