Inverters now available with output frequencies of up to 1,000Hz

29 July 2011

Yaskawa's series A1000 and V1000 frequency inverters are now also available in variants with output frequencies of up to 1,000Hz for high-speed applications. Both inverter series are available for 230V or 400V mains voltage operation with nominal power ratings of 0.4 to 110kW or 0.4 to 160kW for the A1000 inverter and 0.1 to 3.0kW or 0.1 to 15kW for the V1000 inverter.

All variants for 1,000Hz output frequency are equipped with the same functions and features as the previous frequency inverters of the same series, including PLC functionality. The units also feature an integrated STO (Safe Torque Off) function. Series A1000 functions can be used in conjunction with permanent magnet motors without rotational speed feedback for particularly efficient and energy-saving drives.

The intuitive DriveWizardPlus operating and parameterization software for PCs streamlines and simplifies inverter commissioning and parameterisation for specific applications. Using the DriveWorksEZ, which focuses on functional blocks, users can generate application-specific functions with just a few mouse clicks.

The units can be integrated seamlessly into almost any application environment using the CC-Link, ProfiBus and CANopen fieldbus interfaces. Ethernet and EtherCat interfaces are pending.
