# AutomationDirect GS4-2060

Hardware · `GS4-2060` · verification: source checked

The GS4-2060 is a DURApulse GS4 series AC variable frequency drive in an open-frame E frame. It operates from 230 VAC and provides 60 hp with three-phase input or 15 hp with single-phase input, using SVC or V/Hz control. It has RS-485 communication, built-in Safe Torque Off, and requires an external dynamic braking unit.
