Product model and specification system

1. Model coding rules

Taking "GA50U4004ABA" as an example, the meanings of each paragraph are as follows:

Product series: GA500; Region codes: U (Americas), M (Moisture resistant), S (Vibration resistant);

Voltage level: B (240V single-phase), 2 (240V three-phase), 4 (480V three-phase);

Type of chassis: B (IP20/protective type), J (no heat sink type); EMC filters: A (no built-in), E (built-in).

2. Classification of core specifications

Voltage type, power range, output current (regular/heavy load)

240V single-phase input 1/6~5HP (0.1~3.7kW) conventional: 1.2~12.2A; heavy load: 0.8~17.5A

240V three-phase input 1/6~30HP (0.1~22kW) conventional: 1.2~82A; heavy load: 0.8~75A

480V three-phase input 1/2~40HP (0.2~30kW) conventional: 1.2~60A; heavy load: 1.2~45A

3. Special model variants

Covering variants such as high-frequency output (2000Hz), anti vibration type, moisture resistant type, and no heat sink type, some variants (except for high-frequency output) have a delivery cycle of 16 weeks when there is no forecast order.

Core selection plan

1. Explanation of single-phase input derating

When a three-phase driver is used in a single-phase input scenario, it needs to be reduced in capacity. For example, the 240V three-phase 2001 model driver reduces the conventional power from 1/6HP to 1/8HP during single-phase input, which can be avoided by a single-phase converter. The power factor is close to 1, and the total harmonic distortion rate is less than 10%.

2. Installation method selection

The IP20 standard model supports three installation methods:

Installation inside an independent cabinet (with built-in heat sinks, no additional brackets required);

Installation inside an independent cabinet (with external heat sinks, requiring an external heat sink adapter);

Direct installation of inorganic cabinet (requires UL Type 1 adapter).

3、 Core selection plan (including capacity reduction and installation)

1. Single phase input derating rules

When a three-phase driver is used for single-phase input scenarios, it needs to be reduced in capacity. Taking the 240V three-phase model as an example, the core reduction data is as follows (partial excerpt):

Driver model (GA50U) without reactor (Open) without reactor (UL Type 1 closed) with reactor (AC input type)

Motor Power (HP) Current (A) Motor Power (HP) Current (A) Reactor Model Corresponding Power (HP)

2001 - - 1/8 0.61 URX000283 1/8

2002 1/8 0.61 1/4 1.16 URX000291 1/4

2004 1/4 1.16 1/3 1.52 URX000295 1/3

2006 1/3 1.52 1/2 2.20 URX000299 1/2

Solution: Capacity reduction can be avoided through a "single-phase converter (SPC)", such as the 240V 20HP single-phase converter (SPBC-240-20HP), which supports a maximum motor load of 20HP and an input current of 79A. It needs to be paired with a DC link reactor (URX000530).

2. Installation method and adaptation requirements

The IP20 standard model supports three installation methods, which need to be selected according to the environment:

(1) Classification of installation methods

Installation method, applicable scenarios, key requirements, and compatible accessories

Method 1: Inside an independent cabinet (with built-in heat sinks) in a clean room with sufficient space and no need for additional brackets. The cabinet should be well ventilated-

Method 2: Inside an independent cabinet (with external heat sinks) in a clean room, if the cabinet space is limited, an external heat sink adapter should be selected according to the drive model. For example, the 240V single-phase B001 model is compatible with the ZPSA-GA50V1-1 external heat sink adapter (ZPSA series)

Method 3: Install the inorganic cabinet directly in the clean room, and all models without dedicated cabinets need to be equipped with UL Type 1 adapters. For example, the 240V single-phase B001 model is compatible with the ZBAA-GA50V1-1 UL Type 1 adapter (ZBAA series)
