Variable Speed Drive Line

Since its introduction in 2019, Yaskawa’s GA800 variable speed drive has proven itself as the ultimate combination of power, ease of use, flexibility, and performance.

Designed to control traditional and emerging motor technologies, the GA800 handles applications ranging from simple fans and pumps to high-performance test dynamometers requiring precise regulation. In addition to its robust and powerful design, the GA800 provides highly flexible network communications, embedded functional safety, and easy-to-use tools featuring mobile device connectivity.

Yaskawa America is pleased to announce the following expansions to the GA800 product line:

* GA800 frame 12 standard drives - 480V, 700 to 1000 HP

* GA800 480V, 700 to 1000 HP Configured Packages - Types 1, 12, and 3R

* GA800 480V, 400 to 600 HP Configured Size Reduction
