Why plants choose Yaskawa AC drives
An AC drive controls the speed and torque of an AC motor by varying the frequency and voltage it receives. Fitted correctly, it cuts energy use on pumps and fans, gives smooth starts on conveyors and lets a machine run at exactly the speed the process needs.
Yaskawa AC drives share a common programming structure across series, so maintenance teams who know one model can usually work on another. Most series offer open-loop or closed-loop vector control, permanent magnet motor control, embedded Safe Torque Off on the larger series and software tools such as DriveWizard for setup and backup.
We supply Yaskawa AC drives to OEMs, panel builders and maintenance teams in Mumbai and across India.
Yaskawa AC drive series we supply
Each series below is available on request. Ratings, voltage classes and option cards vary by model, so share your motor nameplate for an exact selection.
Yaskawa GA800 AC drive
GA800 is Yaskawa’s general-purpose drive for applications that need strong torque, precise control and easy setup. A high-resolution multi-language display with setup wizards, Bluetooth with the DriveWizard Mobile app and USB programming without main power make commissioning quick.
| Control | Open or closed loop vector |
|---|---|
| Safety | Embedded Safe Torque Off (SIL CL3, PLe, Category 3) |

| Power quality | Integrated DC reactor (40 HP and larger), 12-pulse version |
Yaskawa A1000 AC drive
A1000 is a full-featured drive up to 1000 HP for anything from fans and pumps to complex machines. It suits both new installations and retrofits, with feedback options, expandable I/O and communication options for major industrial networks.
| Control | Open or closed loop vector, position control capability |
|---|---|
| Tuning | Continuous auto-tuning compensates for motor temperature |
| PM motors | High Frequency Injection for open-loop IPM control |
| Braking | High Slip Braking and Kinetic Energy Braking |
| Safety | Embedded Safe Torque Off (SIL CL2, PLd, Category 3) |
| Convenience | USB copy unit, removable terminal board with parameter backup |
Yaskawa U1000 matrix drive
U1000 is a compact all-in-one drive for ultra-low input harmonics and full regeneration, without separate filters or a regenerative unit. It suits sites with strict power quality limits and loads that regenerate, such as hoists or test stands.
| Harmonics | Low input distortion, helps IEEE 519 compliance |
|---|---|
| Regeneration | Full regeneration to supply |
| Power factor | Near unity at full load |
| Overload | 120% for 60 s (ND), 150% for 60 s (HD) |
| Output frequency | 0 to 400 Hz |
Yaskawa G7 AC drive
G7 uses three-level output control, which reduces problems linked to long motor cables and motor bearing currents and lowers electrical noise. It offers vector control of speed, torque and position in ratings up to 500 HP. Many plants still run G7 drives, and we can help with replacement or a current equivalent.
| Topology | Three-level output |
|---|---|
| Torque limit | Four-quadrant |
| Motor protection | Electronic overload (UL 508C), thermistor input |
| Protection | Short circuit, ground fault, over-current, over-voltage, over-temperature, phase loss |
Yaskawa J1000 compact drive
J1000 is a compact V/f drive for simple speed control on small machines. Side-by-side mounting, a tool-free fan change and a one-touch parameter copy keep panel space and maintenance time low.
| Control | V/f |
|---|---|
| Starting torque | 150% at 3 Hz |
| Rating | Dual: Normal Duty and Heavy Duty |
| Communication | Modbus |
| Braking | Built-in dynamic braking transistor |
| Typical uses | Fans, pumps, conveyors, mixers, shutters, food and agri machinery |
Yaskawa V1000 current vector drive
V1000 adds open-loop current vector control to a compact frame, so it handles harder loads such as compressors, hoists and packaging machines while staying small. It runs induction or permanent magnet motors.
| Control | Open-loop current vector, on-line tuning |
|---|---|
| Motors | Induction (IM) or permanent magnet (PM) |
| Programming | DriveWorksEZ function blocks |
| Mounting | Side-by-side installation |
| Backup | Removable terminal block with parameter backup |
| Typical uses | Compressors, chain hoists, auto shutters, conveyors, HVAC, packaging |
Which Yaskawa drive fits your application
A quick starting point. Final selection depends on motor rating, overload and the network you use.
| Need | Series to consider | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Simple speed control on small motors | J1000 | Compact V/f drive, low cost of ownership |
| Compact drive with higher torque at low speed | V1000 | Current vector control in a small frame |
| General machines, pumps and fans with networking | GA800 or A1000 | Vector control, network options, Safe Torque Off |
| Strict harmonic limits or regenerative loads | U1000 | Low input distortion and full regeneration in one unit |
| Long motor cables, replacing an existing G7 | G7 or current equivalent | Three-level output; we advise on replacements |
Details to send with your enquiry
Not sure about some details? Send what you have — we will ask the right follow-up questions.
- Motor kW or HP, voltage, full-load current and pole count (a nameplate photo is ideal)
- Supply voltage and phase (for example 415 V three-phase)
- Load type: fan, pump, conveyor, hoist, compressor or machine axis
- Duty: normal or heavy, and any overload requirement
- Control method: keypad, analog, digital I/O or fieldbus network
- Existing drive model if this is a replacement
- Quantity and required delivery location
What is the difference between an AC drive and a VFD?
In practice the terms mean the same thing. A variable frequency drive (VFD) is a type of AC drive that controls motor speed by changing output frequency and voltage. Yaskawa calls its range AC drives; series such as GA800, A1000 and J1000 are all VFDs in everyday plant language.
Which Yaskawa drive should I use for a pump or fan?
For small pumps and fans with simple speed control, J1000 or V1000 are often sufficient. For larger motors, network control or features such as sleep and PID control, GA800 or A1000 are a better fit. Share your motor rating and control needs and we will recommend a model.
Can you supply a replacement for an old Yaskawa G7 or other older drive?
Yes, send the full model code from the drive label. Depending on availability we can quote the same model or suggest a current Yaskawa series with similar ratings and features. Wiring and parameter settings may need review when moving to a newer series.
Do Yaskawa drives work with permanent magnet motors?
Many do. V1000, A1000, GA800 and U1000 support permanent magnet motors, and A1000 and U1000 offer High Frequency Injection for precise open-loop control of interior permanent magnet motors. Tell us the motor make and type so we can confirm compatibility.
How do I get a price for a Yaskawa AC drive?
Use the Request a quote button with your motor details, supply voltage, load type and quantity, or call +91 90433 36700. Drive prices depend on rating, duty and options, so we quote current prices for the exact model rather than publishing list prices.
