About the 896.08.31
Reliance Electric’s GV3000 drive 896.08.31 is the European stock number for the 240ET4060 bookshelf drive. This drive will operate on a Volts/Hertz current rating of 24.0 A. The voltage range that this model operates on is 380 to 460 VAC. The enclosure type associated with this model is an IP20 enclosure IP20 enclosures are not water-tight but can protect the drive against any solid object twelve millimeters or more. When referring to the US model number, the ER in the middle indicates that the bookshelf drive is equipped with a CE filter.
As mentioned above, the 896.08.31 drive is the European stock number, but there is another number that this drive is often referred to as, which is catalog number GV3000E-AC024-AA-DBU-RFI. The catalog number gives an in-depth look into what type of inverter the drive will use which in this case is an inverter with DC-bus terminals, an RFI filter, and a braking unit. When connecting the braking unit and braking resistor, the cable must be no longer than 2.5 meters as it could cause potential errors when running the two together. The maximum continuous braking current for the 896.08.31 drive is 15 A rms.
When mounting the 896.08.31 drive, it is vital to the performance of the unit that all airflow clearances are met. If the airflow clearances are not met, the drive could potentially overheat and must be shut down before any errors occur that could hinder the performance of the drive. The minimum clearances for the drive can be found in chapter three of the D2-3427-E GV3000/SE AC Bookshelf Drive Hardware Reference, Installation, and Troubleshooting Manual.
