Yaskawa Low Voltage Adjustable Speed Drives

The Yaskawa GA800 is a premium industrial AC variable‑frequency drive (VFD) designed for ¾–1000 HP motor control, offering a blend of performance, flexibility, and user‑friendliness

🔧 Key Features
  • Power Range & Form Factors:
    Supports ¾–1,000 HP motors at voltages from 208 V to 600 V, in chassis, UL Type‑1, flange, and 12‑pulse versions for low‑harmonic environments
  • Modern Interface & Connectivity:
    High‑resolution, multi‑language LCD with startup wizards and data logging. Bluetooth connectivity via Yaskawa’s DriveWizard Mobile and full-featured DriveWizard Desktop make configuration and monitoring seamless
  • Advanced Control Algorithms:
    Offers closed‑ and open‑loop vector control for precise torque and speed regulation. Additional modes include sensorless, V/Hz, constant torque, and variable torque control
  • Embedded Functionality:
    DriveWorks EZ enables instructional logic within the drive, eliminating the need for a PLC in many applications
  • Safety & Power Quality:
    Comes standard with Safe Torque Off (meeting SIL CL3 and PLe Category 3 safety standards). Includes integrated DC reactors (≥ 30 HP), brake transistors (up to 125 HP), and even 12‑pulse versions for minimized harmonic distortion 
  • Durability & Compliance:
    RoHS‑compliant materials, conformal coating for harsh environments, and options for IP20 or NEMA Type 1/12 enclosures. UL structural versions available
  • Embedded Auxiliary Power:
    Keeps its network active from a 24 V external supply even when main power is removed—minimizing downtime 

✅ Strengths & Applications
  • Ease of Use – Tutorial displays and Bluetooth app streamline setup.
  • High Performance – Excellent torque precision and near‑tripless operation.
  • Scalable Options – Plenty of voltage, power, enclosure, and pulse‑version choices.
  • Industrial-Grade Reliability – Built for demanding environments and heavy work.
Typical uses include pumps, fans, conveyors, mixers, compressors, extrusion lines, and heavy-duty OEM machinery.
