Yaskawa GA500 Inverter

Compact Design, Flexible Installation

• Small size saves control panel space.
• Can be mounted side-by-side without clearance.
• Flexible mounting options in both vertical and horizontal orientations.
• Built-in EMC filter (depending on model) reduces electromagnetic interference.

Versatile Motor Control

Supports multiple control modes:

• V/f Control (Open Loop)
• Open Loop Vector Control (OELV)
• Permanent Magnet Motor Control
• Capable of driving induction motors (IM), synchronous motors (SM), and permanent magnet motors (PM).
• Torque control function for applications requiring stable pulling or driving force.

Integrated Intelligent Functions

• Auto-tuning for optimal motor performance.
• Energy Saving mode automatically adjusts power to reduce energy consumption.
• Built-in basic PLC logic for stand-alone operation without an external PLC.
• Integrated PID control for pump, fan, and HVAC applications.
• “Flying Start” function allows starting a motor that is already spinning.

• Supports multiple communication protocols: Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP (optional), BACnet, EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and more.
• Programmable logic directly on the drive using Yaskawa’s DriveWorksEZ language.
• USB/Micro-USB ports for configuration and firmware updates.
• DriveWizard PC software support for easy setup, parameter backup, and data analysis.

• Input Voltage: 200–240V (single-phase or three-phase), 380–480V (three-phase)
• Power Range: 0.2 kW to 30 kW depending on model
• Output Frequency: 0–590 Hz
• Carrier Frequency Range: Up to 16 kHz (with selectable noise reduction)
• Operating Temperature: -10°C to 50°C (derating required above certain limits)
• Protection Rating: IP20 (standard), optional IP66/NEMA Type 4X enclosure for harsh environments

• Pumps & Fans: Energy saving, reduced starting current, automatic PID control
• Conveyors: Precise speed control, soft start, smooth stop
• Air Compressors: Reduced mechanical shock, energy saving at low load
• Wood/Plastic Processing Machines: Stable speed and torque control
• Elevators and Light Cranes: Torque control capability and smooth starting
• HVAC Systems: Control of blowers and circulation pumps

• Energy Saving – Optimized power consumption through intelligent control modes and the ability to reduce output when operating under low load
• Reduced Maintenance Costs – Soft start minimizes mechanical wear and reduces motor damage
• Extended Equipment Lifespan – Smooth control helps prevent high voltage spikes
• Easy Setup – Built-in quick setup wizard for fast commissioning
• Wide Motor Compatibility – Supports both old and new motors, including PM motors without an encoder

Integrated protection functions: overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, overtemperature, phase loss, and motor overload

Supports STO (Safe Torque Off) in compliance with machinery safety standards
