Description

Product Introduction

Reliance Electric 50V4260 is a 50 HP (37 kW), 480 VAC, 3‑phase AC drive from the GV3000/SE series (Vtac7 platform), designed for heavy‑duty industrial motor control with advanced vector and V/Hz capabilities.

Model Interpretation

  • 50 = 50 horsepower

  • V = GV3000/SE series (Vtac7)

  • 42 = 480 VAC input, heavy‑duty rating

  • 60 = Standard firmware, NEMA 1 enclosure, enhanced I/O

Technical Parameters

  • Power rating: 50 HP / 37 kW (heavy‑duty)

  • Input voltage: 380–480 VAC, 3‑phase, 50/60 Hz

  • Output current: 72 A continuous (heavy‑duty)

  • Input current: ~78 A

  • Max output frequency: 200 Hz

  • Control modes: V/Hz, sensorless vector, closed‑loop vector (encoder feedback)

  • Enclosure: NEMA 1 (IP20)

  • Protection: 200% overcurrent, 150% overload (1 min), short‑circuit, ground fault, phase loss

  • Operating temperature: 0 °C to +45 °C

  • Software version: Ver. 6.06 / 6.07

  • Status: Discontinued; available as surplus/refurbished

Interface & Communication

  • Power terminals: 3‑phase AC in (L1/L2/L3), 3‑phase AC out (U/V/W), DC bus terminals

  • Control terminals: Start/stop, speed reference (0–10 VDC), fault reset, encoder (A/B/Z), digital I/O

  • Front panel: Keypad & LED display for setup, monitoring, and diagnostics

  • Options: RS‑232/485, Profibus‑DP, DeviceNet communication modules

Core Functions

  • Heavy‑duty vector control: High starting torque (200% at 0.5 Hz) for demanding loads

  • Auto‑tuning: Motor parameter identification for optimal performance

  • Speed range: 1:1000 (closed‑loop vector with 1024 PPR encoder)

  • Dynamic response: 20 Hz bandwidth for rapid load changes

  • Built‑in PLC: Basic logic functions for standalone operation

  • Fault logging: 50‑event history with time stamps for troubleshooting

Application Scenarios

  • Heavy‑duty conveyors: Mining, aggregate, and bulk material handling

  • Extruders: Plastic, rubber, and food processing machinery

  • Cranes/hoists: Material handling with precise speed/torque control

  • Machine tools: High‑power lathes, mills, and grinders

  • Retrofits: Replacement for legacy GV3000/SE 50 HP drives

Operation & Maintenance

  • Mount in NEMA 1 enclosure with adequate ventilation; avoid high vibration

  • Wire per schematic: AC line, motor, control signals, encoder, and DC bus (if used)

  • Configure motor nameplate data, speed limits, current limits, and control mode via keypad

  • Regularly inspect cooling fans, heat sinks, and wiring connections; keep drive clean

  • Discontinued by Reliance Electric; use refurbished units or upgrade to modern AC drives
