Yaskawa P7 VFD

Yaskawa P7 VFDThe Yaskawa P7 VFD is for industrial applications such as centrifugal fans and pumps. The Yaskawa P7 VFD is provided in Normal Duty ratings with 110% overload capability. V/f control mode, network communication options, and an array of input/output options are available. The P7 VFD is factory-programmed and ready to run. For operational simplicity and clarity, the LCD operator display has 5 lines x 16 characters. It can be set to any of 6 languages. The keypad is intuitive and includes parameter copying to move a chosen set of parameters from one drive to another. The Yaskawa P7 VFD comes in power ratings of 208/240 and 480 volt ratings with built-in bus choke above 30 HP, common bus capability, and other energy savings options.

The Yaskawa P7 VFD supports the industry’s open architecture, open connectivity demands with network communications choices such as DeviceNet, Profibus-DP, and others. Drive coordination with other equipment is simplified with inputs and outputs for 4 to 20 mA, 0-10V, and an assortment of programmable contacts. With an optional phase-shifting input transformer, the P7 dual-diode bridge can be operated in 12-pulse rectification mode, reducing input current harmonic distortion factor by over 90%. With lower EMI/RFI emission and lower total harmonic distortion contribution, the P7 meets or exceeds the generally accepted power quality standards. Inherent motor protection features resulting from low noise/low carrier technology provides for longer lead lengths without additional motor protection devices. The optional P7/Bypass package is a 3-contactor style bypass, allowing motor operation from the drive or across the line. This facilitates drive maintenance while the motor continues to operate. The P7 has been designed to provide the features and options commonly needed for fan and pump applications.

P7 18-Pulse Drive 25-500 Horsepower

Yaskawa P7 VFDThe Yaskawa P7 18-Pulse VFD is a variable torque rated AC drive, designed specifically for applications that require low total harmonic distortion at the drive input terminals and to meet the requirements of IEEE-519 (special applications) at the point of common coupling. The Yaskawa P7 VFD includes numerous built-in features such as Network Communications, PI, and energy-savings functions. The P7 18 Pulse Drive Design limits the total harmonic distortioni at the Drive Input Terminals to less than 8% Current Distortion and less than 3% Voltage Distortion. The Yaskawa P7 VFD meets or exceeds generally accepted power quality standards with lower EMI/RFI emission and lower total harmonic distortion contribution. Inherent motor protection features resulting from low noise/low carrier technology provide for longer lead lengths without additional motor protection devices.

An enhanced sleep function provides significant energy savings by minimizing operating hours. Under-torque detection, alerts the operator to conditions such as loss of load or broken belts. Energy savings control is an automatic output voltage adjustment in response to actual motor load. Real-time energy savings is based on motor algorithms. Motor efficiency is increased by several percent. Built-in kW-hour and kW display eliminates the need for external signal conditioner for energy monitoring. The standard enclosure is NEMA 1. NEMA 12 and 3R are optional. The optional Bypass package is 3-contactor style bypass, allowing motor operation from the drive or across the line. This facilitates drive maintenance while the motor continues to operate. The Yaskawa P7 18-Pulse VFD with Bypass has been designed for flexibility in providing the features and options commonly demanded by facility designers.

Yaskawa V1000 Drive

Yaskawa V1000 DriveThe Yaskawa V1000 drive is a high performance line of AC micro drives with low motor noise and high starting torque. It provides two control methods; V/f and open loop current vector control for precise speed regulation and higher torque at lower speeds. The Yaskawa  V1000 drive is intended for either heavy duty applications (overload rating of 150% for 60 seconds) or normal duty applications (overload rating of 120% for 60 seconds). The Yaskawa V1000 drive is solution where high performance in a small application size is required.

The Yaskawa V1000 drive is a world-class compact current vector drive that defines a new world standard. Demands for efficient production and better maintainability are on the rise, spurred by global competition. Yaskawa pays off the promise of being in control with products that make businesses move. The optimum balance of energy input, product output, maintenance risk, and long life is reached with YaskawaThe standard Yaskawa V1000 drive can accept CASE custom software to add functionality to the drive by reconfiguring drive defaults, establishing presets for OEM equipment, and by eliminating peripheral controls and PLCs. Plug-in interface option boards enable the Yaskawa V1000 drive to communicate with all the major industrial networks.

Washdown and Dust-Tight Applications

Yaskawa V1000 DriveThe Yaskawa V1000-4X drive is a version of the standard V1000 in an integral enclosure that meets NEMA type 4X/12 indoor use requirements, UL type 4X/12 standards, and the IP66 rating of IEC 529. The Yaskawa V1000-4X drive’s enclosure provides the protection required in tough washdown or dust-tight environments, common in Food and Beverage Processing, Packaging, Metal Machining, Woodworking, Pumping, Refrigeration, and Printing. The enclosure is coated to protect against the harmful effects of sanitizing chemicals commonly used in food industries.

Yaskawa G7 Drive

Yaskawa G7 DriveThe Yaskawa G7 drive is the ultimate performance solution with increased speed and torque response to provide servo-like performance from an induction motor. The Yaskawa G7 drive has the world’s first 480V 3-level inverter architecture that eliminates or minimizes the installation problems associated with IGBT switching and protects the entire motor-drive system. The 3-level control eliminates peripheral components typically required to solve installation problems such as long motor cable leads, motor bearing life, audible noise, and common mode noise. The Yaskawa G7 drive performance makes it the ideal drive for high performance speed, torque, or position control applications. The Yaskawa G7 drive is the total solution for the unconventional, extreme performance applications. With high-end response for speed and torque loops, the G7 provides servo-like performance for superior motor control.
