Yaskawa's greenest drive, the U1000 Industrial Matrix Drive

Feb. 8, 2016
Yaskawa’s greenest drive ever is due to low harmonic distortion and regeneration.

U1000 Industrial Matrix Drive is reported to be Yaskawa’s greenest drive ever due to low harmonic distortion and regeneration. U1000’s Matrix technology uses nine bidirectional switches arranged in a matrix to convert three-phase AC input voltage directly into three-phase AC output voltage, eliminating the need for rectifying and DC smoothing circuits. U1000 is available in 240-V class with 10-100 hp normal duty and 7.5-75 hp heavy duty, and 480-V class with 7.5-350 hp normal duty and 5-300 hp heavy duty.
