Model Number Interpretation

  • 2: Standard industrial drive series

  • GU: GP‑2000 series, 230 VAC input platform

  • 21003: 3 HP power rating, hardware revision 03

Technical Specifications

  • Motor Power: 3 HP (2.2 kW)

  • Input Voltage: 200/230 VAC ±10%, three‑phase, 50/60 Hz

  • Output Voltage: 0–230 VAC, three‑phase

  • Output Frequency: 0–400 Hz

  • Rated Current: 10.6 A continuous

  • Control Modes: V/F (Volts/Frequency) control

  • Protection: Overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, overtemperature, short‑circuit, ground fault

  • Operating Temp: 0 °C to +45 °C

  • Mounting: Panel‑mount (NEMA 1 enclosure)

  • Weight: ~7.7 kg

  • Dimensions: 260 × 180 × 150 mm (H×W×D)

Interface and Communication Configuration

  • Power Terminals: Main AC input, motor output, DC bus braking terminals

  • Control I/O: ±10 V analog input (speed reference), 24 VDC digital I/O (start/stop, fault reset, jog)

  • Communication: Reliance proprietary protocol (no standard fieldbus ports)

  • Indicators: LED status lights (power, run, fault); 7‑segment display for fault codes and parameters

  • Feedback: No encoder port (sensorless V/F control only)

Core Functions

  • Precision Speed Control: Stable speed regulation for 3 HP three‑phase AC motors via V/F control

  • Energy Efficiency: Optimizes power consumption for variable‑torque loads

  • Dynamic Braking: Supports external brake resistor for rapid deceleration

  • Fault Diagnostics: Real‑time monitoring with fault code logging for quick troubleshooting

  • Parameter Programming: Onboard display for configuration of acceleration/deceleration, limits, and I/O

Application Scenarios

  • Light‑to‑Medium Manufacturing: Conveyor lines, packaging machinery, assembly equipment

  • HVAC & Process: Medium‑sized fans, pumps, and agitators requiring variable‑speed control

  • Material Handling: Conveyors and lift equipment with 3 HP AC motors

  • Legacy System Upgrades: Direct replacement for older Reliance GP‑2000 drives

Usage and Maintenance Instructions

  • Installation: Mount in a clean, well‑ventilated cabinet; allow 50 mm clearance for airflow

  • Wiring: Use shielded cables for motor/control signals; torque terminals to 1.2 N·m; verify input voltage before power‑up

  • Operation: Power on control circuit first, then main power; set parameters per motor nameplate

  • Maintenance: Inspect connections quarterly; clean heat sink/filters semi‑annually

  • Safety: Disconnect all power and wait 5 minutes for DC bus capacitors to discharge before service
