About the 896.08.11
More often known by its American part number 240ER4060, the 896.08.11 drive is considered a member of a GV3000 series, originally manufactured by Reliance Electric. While this was originally the case, Reliance Electric has discontinued mass production of this 1 HP drive model starting in 2009. With this in mind, the 896.08.11 drive is described as a member of a legacy series, having been manufactured by retailers such as ABB, Baldor, and Rockwell Animation in the years since its original discontinuation. Here at AXcontrol, we make every effort to refurbish vintage or second-hand automated drives to return them to their original function capabilities. This drive is available for both repair and replacement through our website, with a standard lead time of one to two weeks for 896.08.11 drive repairs.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
Manufactured by Reliance Electric, the 896.08.11 drive is a bookshelf drive alternatively known as 240ER4060 or GV3000E-AC024-AA-DBU. During the operation of this drive, the Volts/Hertz current rating is 24.0 A. This model does not come with a CE filter and is indicated by the ER in the 240ER4060 part number. When assessing the 896.08.11 part number and the part number breakdown there are three things indicated which are the drive model which is GV3000, the power module size which is indicated by the 08, and what version of the drive is being used which is indicated by the 11, in this case, the module is the most basic inverter version with a braking transistor circuit and DC-Bus Terminals.
For the motor power and inverter current on the 896.08.11 drive, there are separate values for when the module is operating in Volts/Hertz and Vector regulation. When the drive is in vector regulation mode the motor power is 7.5 kW and the inverter current is 16.5 A. In Volts/Hertz regulation mode, the motor power is 11 kW and the inverter current is 24.0 A.

For a detailed description and diagramming of the dimensions of the 896.08.11 drive, the Reliance Electric GV3000/SE AC Drive Hardware Reference, Installation, and Troubleshooting Guide Version 6.06 is the most up to date piece of literature on the subject. Please remember to allow for the designated clearances around the drive for proper daily normative function and avoidance of the drive overtemperature fault.
Software Tips and Specifications
The drive overtemperature fault, as mentioned above, can occur when the GV3000 series drive overheats due to a failure of its central cooling fan. When the overtemperature fault occurs in this specific 896.08.11 model, the built-in keypad display of the drive will present the drive user with a simple code, reading "OH." Corrective action when encountered by the overtemperature fault includes checking the ambient temperature rating of the drive, followed by additional diligent checks on the drive's cooling fan and the drive's clearance space. More information, including a complete list of fault codes that may impact the owner of the 896.08.11 owner, is available online in Reliance Electric's GV3000/SE AC Drive Software Reference, Version 6.06.
Compatibilities
This drive, while designated here by its European model number 896.08.11, is known to carry a type 6.0 regulator version, indicated in the Americanized model number 240ER4060. The 6.0 type regulator version of this GV3000 series drive allows its compatibility with a range of options available for purchase here, including:
