The GA500 series of micro frequency drives sets new performance standards, helping users simplify complex technologies by combining exceptional reliability, ease of use, power, and adaptability. From drive selection and design to installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting, the GA500 micro drive's specifications have been clearly focused on simplifying the process. With 100 years of experience in driving electric motors and over 27 million drives produced, YASKAWA 's expertise in developing products that combine high technology with ease of use is unmatched, and the latest result of this evolution is the new GA500. Compact and incredibly flexible in terms of connectivity, the GA500 is designed to work in virtually any application and can drive all types of motors from 0.2 to 30 kW.
Key features and benefits include: integrated EMC filters, built-in dual-channel safety (STO SIL3/PLe), an optional fieldbus card for subnet-connecting up to five drives, compliance with all global standards while maintaining safety requirements, and simple configuration and monitoring with applications for all mobile devices. Other features include a robust design that allows the drives to operate at altitudes of up to 4,000 meters and in hot environments up to 60°C. Furthermore, tropicalized circuit boards protect against dust and moisture, while integrated temperature-controlled fans operate only when needed, minimizing the risk of contamination and extending maintenance intervals.
The GA500's bright LED display and touch keypad ensure easy and intuitive navigation, while common menus and settings are organized and named as in all other YASKAWA drives, significantly reducing the need for additional training.
Furthermore, the integrated programming environment for customizing the drive's functions offers scalability and the ability to eliminate the need for external controllers. The USB port allows for easy connection to a PC or mobile device for programming, monitoring, or troubleshooting, while the easily accessible power terminals ensure quick and convenient connection of the mains and motor cables without having to remove any protective cover from the drive. The spring-loaded control terminals also ensure reliable and durable connections without the need for retightening.
The internal 24 V DC power supply provides an additional 150 mA for use with external sensors, eliminating the need for an external power supply. Furthermore, because the drive has an optimal normal load rating, it allows users to operate larger motors in variable torque applications.
In conclusion, the GA500 micro drives, in addition to a compact and robust design, offer simple system integration, combining network support, application-oriented functions and exceptional customization, quick installation and configuration, eliminating the need for additional peripherals, excellent machine performance thanks to the latest integrated motor control technology and safe and secure operation.
