GS30 AC Drives Installation Instructions
Sensorless Vector Control Variable Frequency Micro-drive
• Please read this instruction sheet thoroughly before installation and retain for
later reference.
• To ensure the safety of operators and equipment, only qualified personnel
familiar with AC drives should install, wire, program, and operate the GS30
drive. Always read this instruction sheet thoroughly before using the GS30 drive, especially the WARNING,
DANGER and CAUTION notes. If you have any questions, please contact AutomationDirect.
PLEASE READ PRIOR TO INSTALLATION FOR SAFETY
• The ground terminal of the GS30 drive must be grounded correctly. The grounding method
must comply with the laws of the country where the GS30 drive is to be installed.
• After power has been turned off, the capacitors in the GS30 drive may retain a charge for
several minutes. To prevent personal injury, visually verify that the "CHARGE" LED has
turned off. Then measure to confirm that the DC bus voltage level between terminals (+1)
and (-) is less than 25VDC before touching any terminals. (Capacitor discharge will take at
least 5 minutes for most GS30 models)
• The CMOS ICs on the internal circuit boards of the GS30 drive are sensitive to static
electricity. Please DO NOT touch the circuit boards with your bare hands before taking
anti-static measures. Never disassemble the internal components or circuits.
DANGER
• If wiring changes must be made, turn off power to the GS30 drive before making those
changes. Allow the internal DC bus capacitors in the GS30 drive sufficient time to discharge
prior to making changes in power or control wiring. Failure to do so may result in short
circuit and fire. To ensure personal safety, allow DC bus voltage to discharge to a safe level
before making wiring changes to the GS30 drive.
• DO NOT install the GS30 drive in locations subject to high temperature, direct sunlight, or
flammable materials.
• Never apply power to the output terminals U/T1, V/T2, W/T3 of the GS30 drive. If a fault
occurs during operation of the GS30 drive, refer to the fault code descriptions and corrective
actions to reset the fault before attempting to operate the GS30 drive.
• DO NOT use Hi-pot test for internal components. The semi-conductors in the GS30 drive are
WARNING
easily damaged by high voltage.
• Long motor lead lengths may result in reflective wave due to impedance mismatch between
the motor cable and the motor. Reflective wave may damage the insulation of the motor.
To avoid the possibility of reflective wave damage, use an inverter-rated motor with an
insulation rating of 1600 volts. A load reactor or output filter installed between the GS30
drive and motor will help to mitigate reflective wave.
• Nominal supply voltage to the GS30 drive should be less than or equal to 240/480 volts AC
depending on GS30 model.
• Nominal supply current capacity should be less than or equal to 100kA for Frame A–F
models. For Frames G, H, and I, ratings vary from 5kA to 10kA – please see drive spec sheets.
• The GS30 drive must be installed in a clean, well-ventilated and dry location, free from
corrosive gases or liquids.
CAUTION
• The GS30 drive must be stored within an ambient temperature range from –40°C to +85°C,
and relative humidity range of 0% to 90% without condensation.
• Do not apply AC power to the GS30 drive with the front cover removed. Following a fault of
the GS30 drive, wait 5 seconds before pressing the RESET key.
• To improve power factor, install a line reactor ahead of the GS30 drive. Do not install power
correction capacitors in the main AC supply circuit to the GS30 drive to prevent drive faults
due to over-current.
Minimum Wiring
• For 3-phase models, AC input power to R/L1, S/L2, and T/L3. For 1-phase models AC input power to R/L and S/
L2. (For applicability of 1-phase input power, please refer to Chapter 1 of the DURApulse GS30 AC Drives User
Manual at AutomationDirect.com.)
• Ground from the power supply
• Drive power to the motor (U, V, W on T1, T2, T3) (For use with 3-phase motors only!)
• Ground to the motor
• STO1 and STO2 (both must be wired through appropriate N.C. safety-rated contacts to DCM or the
factory-installed jumpers must be left in place)
With this minimal wiring, the drive can be operated via the keypad to test the motor and drive installation.
See the "Parameter Set Up" (page 4) section to configure the drive for keypad operation.
Recommended Safety Wiring
We strongly recommend that customers use the STO safety feature.
The Safe Torque Off (STO) function turns off the power supplied to the motor through the hardware, so
that the motor cannot produce torque. This method of removing power from the motor is considered an
emergency stop, also known as "coast to stop."
To use this feature, disconnect the appropriate factory-installed jumpers and wire a safety relay or safety PLC
as shown. The E-Stop pushbutton should be wired through a Safety Relay or PLC to meet Category 3 safety
requirements. See User Manual Appendix E for wiring the GS30 with STO.

RFI Jumper Removal
If the power distribution system supplying the GS30 AC drive is a floating (IT) or
an asymmetric ground system, the RFI jumper must be removed.
Removing the RFI jumper uncouples the internal RFI capacitor (filter capacitor)
between the GS30 drive frame and circuitry to avoid damaging those circuits and
(according to IEC 61800-3) to reduce ground leakage current.

Loosen the screw and remove the RFI jumper as shown, then re-fasten the screw.
