Model Number Interpretation

  • 2: Standard industrial drive series

  • GU: GP‑2000 series

  • 5: 575 VAC voltage class

  • 10: 10 HP rating

Technical Specifications

  • Rated Motor Power: 10 HP (7.5 kW)

  • Apparent Power: 12 kVA

  • Input: 575 VAC ±10%, three‑phase, 50/60 Hz; max 14.5 A

  • Output: 0–575 VAC, three‑phase; continuous 12 A, max 12 A; frequency 0–400 Hz

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

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

  • Enclosure: NEMA 1 (indoor, general purpose)

  • Ambient Temperature: -10 °C to +50 °C

  • Dimensions (H×W×D): approx. 470 × 320 × 230 mm

  • Weight: approx. 22 kg (48.5 lbs)

  • Certifications: UL 508C, CE, IEC 61800‑5‑1, CSA certified

  • Short‑Circuit Rating: 25,000 A (symmetrical RMS)

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, multi‑speed selection

  • Communication: Reliance proprietary protocol; no standard fieldbus (e.g., Modbus, Profibus)

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

  • Encoder Interface: None (open‑loop control only)

Core Functions

  • Stable V/F speed regulation for 10 HP three‑phase AC motors

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

  • Electronic reversing: reverse from any motor speed without contactors

  • Automatic/manual torque boost for heavy starting loads

  • Three preset speeds selectable via digital inputs

  • Adjustable current limit: 50–100% of rated output current

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

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

  • Compatibility with external braking resistors for rapid deceleration

  • Built‑in RFI/EMI filters for reduced electrical interference

Application Scenarios

  • Medium industry: Conveyors, packaging machines, assembly lines, mixers, extruders

  • HVAC & process: Large fans, water pumps, cooling towers, agitators

  • Material handling: 10 HP motor‑driven conveying, lifting, and hoisting equipment

  • Legacy automation: Direct replacement for GP‑2000 series drives in existing 575 VAC 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, overload)

  • Quarterly maintenance: Inspect terminals for looseness or overheating, clean internal dust, check cooling fan operation

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

  • Avoid operating in condensing humidity or corrosive environments; keep ambient temperature within -10–50 °C
