# AutomationDirect GS23-2010

Hardware · `GS23-2010` · verification: source checked

The GS23-2010 is an enclosed DURApulse GS20 series general-purpose AC variable frequency drive from AutomationDirect. It runs from a 230 VAC single-phase or three-phase supply and gives three-phase output, rated 10 hp with three-phase input and 5 hp with single-phase input. It supports SVC, V/Hz, FOC and torque control modes and includes RS-485 Modbus RTU/ASCII communication, integrated dynamic braking and built-in Safe Torque Off.
