What is the IP rating of the AutomationDirect GS11N-10P5?

IP20, per DURApulse AC Micro Drive: 120 VAC, 1/2hp with 1-phase input, (VFD) (PN# GS11N-10P5) | AutomationDirect (automationdirect.com).

AutomationDirect GS11N-10P5

The GS11N-10P5 is an enclosed DURApulse GS10 series AC micro drive (variable frequency drive) rated 1/2 hp with a single-phase 120 VAC input and a three-phase 230 VAC output. It controls three-phase induction and permanent magnet AC motors in either sensorless vector control (SVC) or V/Hz mode. Setup and monitoring are done through its analog and discrete I/O, spring clamp terminals, and an RS-485 port that runs Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII slave.

Study notes

Single-phase 120 VAC input, three-phase 230 VAC output; 1/2 hp with 1-phase input.
Amperage rating 2.5 A; variable torque amperage rating 2.7 A.
Control mode selectable between SVC (sensorless vector control) and V/Hz.
Output frequency range 0.1–599 Hz; carrier frequency range 2–15 kHz.
Communication port: (1) RS-485 (RJ45) supporting Modbus RTU Slave and Modbus ASCII Slave at up to 38.4k baud.
Analog I/O: 1 input channel (current/voltage, 0–20 mA and 4–20 mA or 0–10 VDC, 12-bit) and 1 voltage output channel (0–10 VDC, 12-bit).
Discrete I/O: 5 sinking/sourcing inputs at 24 VDC and 2 outputs rated 240 VAC and 48 VDC; one Form C (SPDT) relay output.
Load current 3 A/point for the relay output and 50 mA/point for the discrete output.
Integrated dynamic braking; no integrated EMI filter; not internally bypassed; built-in reverse capability.
Input signal options are 4–20 mA, voltage or potentiometer input.
Mounting is panel or wall; wiring uses spring clamp terminals and requires a user-supplied external fuse.
Intended for use with 3-phase induction and permanent magnet AC motors.
