Yaskawa's J1000 Drive with 1/8-7.5 hp

Yaskawa Electric America Inc. has introduced its J1000 AC drive. Available from 1/8-7.5 hp, the model J1000 features open loop V/f control with speed range of 40:1, starting torque of 150% at 3 Hz, and 0-400 Hz output frequency. Overexcitation braking minimizes stop times without external braking resistors. Compliant with RoHS, drive provides Modbus communication up to 38.4 kbps and short circuit current rating of 30 kA rms symmetrical. Voltage classes include 200-240 V single-phase, 200-240 V 3-phase, and 380-480 V 3-phase, all of which are 50/60 Hz. The J1000 is suitable for major applications of industries such as material handling, food and beverage, fan and pump control, packaging, agricultural machines and industrial washers. It includes CE, UL and cUL global certification approval as well as keeping the environment safe by being RoHS compliant.
