Yaskawa AC Drives incorporate the latest technological advancements in variable speed AC motor control, and is the world's largest manufacturer of variable speed drives providing solutions through 1750HP.  From complex to simple, Yaskawa has you covered and drive products to fit your needs.

For example, the Microdrive collection provides outstanding performance in a compact and economical package through 7.5HP and 25HP.  Plus its V1000 is available in an integrated IP66, NEMA / UL Type 4X version for harsh environments or machine mount.

Or for larger power ratings and advanced features, Yaskawa has 3 different products. The A1000 is a multi-purpose drive delivering up to 1000HP and providing a high level of vector performance including precise control of induction and permanent magnet motors.  For challenging installation requirements, the G7 is the world's only low voltage three level inverter, providing a superior solution for extra long motor cables or sensitivity to electrical noise.  Then, for optimized use on fans and pumps, the P7 is offered through 500HP.

Then there's Easy to Use....Yaskawa drives are factory programmed and ready to run.  The LCD interface enhances ease of use with its multi language support and parameter copy feature that allows duplication of settings between drives.  Plus a portable USB Copy Unit (1000 series only) provides a very convenient method of desktop configuration transportable to the factory floor.

Drive Packaging Options from Yaskawa offers not only high quality drives in the industry, but also preconfigured or custom engineered packages with a broad array of optional items. Specify your enclosure - NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R.  Select disconnects, circuit breakers, resistors, space heaters, reactors, operator devices, and more. And Yaskawa can also package drives with 12 pulse and 18 pulse input for applicable drives.
