The U1000 is a highly efficient, low-harmonic, regenerative AC drive based on Yaskawa Matrix technology.

Innovative Matrix Technology: The U1000 can be used for standard and regenerative applications with the unique advantage of direct AC-to-AC power conversion. This unique design offers the best choice for induction motors (IM) and permanent magnet motors (PM). Benefits include low input current harmonics and a near-unity power factor, enabling increased energy efficiency. The bi-directional switching technology allows for continuous motoring or continuous regeneration. This means that fewer parts are required, leading to higher machine reliability.

Clean Power: The sinusoidal input current, with total harmonic distortion of less than 5% and a displacement power factor of approximately 1.0, minimizes losses in grid components such as generators and transformers. This, at the same time, greatly reduces the potential of disturbance of other devices and improves the reliability of your system.

Low Harmonic Solution: The U1000 offers the best low-harmonic solution in a single unit. It does not need any external devices to facilitate IEEE 519 compliance. Its harmonic performance meets the most stringent requirements of IEEE 519 at the input of the drive, making it an all-around green solution. Its input harmonics remain low, not just at rated power, but well below leading harmonic solutions throughout the speed/load range.
