Model Number Interpretation

  • 2: Standard industrial drive series

  • GU: GP‑2000 series, 460 VAC voltage class

  • 41025: 4 = 460 VAC; 1025 = 25 HP; hardware revision 25

Technical Specifications

  • Rated Motor Power: 25 HP (18.5 kW)

  • Apparent Power: 27 kVA

  • Input: 460 VAC ±10%, three‑phase, 50/60 Hz; max 41 A

  • Output: 0–460 VAC, three‑phase; continuous 34 A, max 34 A; frequency 0–400 Hz

  • Control Mode: Open‑loop V/F (Volts‑per‑Hertz)

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

  • Enclosure: NEMA 1 (indoor) or chassis style

  • Ambient Temperature: 0 °C to +45 °C

  • Dimensions (H×W×D): approx. 530 × 290 × 285 mm

  • Weight: approx. 28 kg

  • Certifications: UL listed, IEC certified

Interface and Communication Configuration

  • Power Terminals: Three‑phase input, motor output, DC bus braking connection

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

  • Communication: Reliance proprietary protocol; no standard fieldbus

  • Operator Interface: Built‑in keypad with 7‑segment LED display for parameter setup and fault code readout

  • Encoder Interface: None (open‑loop only)

Core Functions

  • Stable V/F speed regulation for 25 HP three‑phase AC motors

  • Energy saving for variable‑torque loads (fans, pumps)

  • Electronic reversing: reverse from any motor speed

  • Automatic/manual torque boost for heavy starting loads

  • Three preset speeds selectable via digital inputs

  • Current limit adjustment: 50–100% of rated current

  • Up to 57 password‑protected programmable parameters; non‑volatile memory retains settings during power loss

  • Real‑time status monitoring and fault code logging for quick diagnostics

Application Scenarios

  • Light industry: Conveyors, packaging machines, assembly lines

  • HVAC & process: Medium‑to‑large fans, pumps, agitators

  • Material handling: 25 HP motor‑driven conveying and lifting equipment

  • Legacy automation: Direct replacement for GP‑2000 series drives in existing systems

Usage and Maintenance Instructions

  • Install in a well‑ventilated cabinet; maintain minimum 50 mm clearance around the drive for heat dissipation

  • Use shielded cables for power and control wiring; tighten all terminals to specified torque

  • Verify input voltage before powering on; energize control circuit first, then main power

  • Set parameters per motor nameplate (voltage, current, base frequency)

  • Quarterly maintenance: Inspect terminals, clean internal dust, check for overheating signs

  • Before inspection/service: Disconnect all power and wait 5 minutes for DC bus capacitors to fully discharge
