Yaskawa variable frequency drive products have earned a reputation for high performance, high functionality, and high quality.

GA800 Variable Frequency Drives

GA800 variable frequency AC drives provide the ultimate combination of power, ease of use, flexibility, and performance. In addition to its exceptional torque production and precise control, the GA800’s high-resolution display and connection to any mobile device allow for effortless setup. Whether an application requires simple control, advanced network communications, or functional safety, the GA800 can meet all variable speed needs. GA800 variable speed AC drives are available in 240 VAC Three Phase (1 to 150 HP) and 480 VAC Three Phase (1 to 600 HP) models.

The GA800 Configured package provides a GA800 in a UL Type 1 or UL Type 12 or UL Type 3R enclosure, with space for several commonly used options, such as reactors, circuit breakers and more. This package is designed to be flexible in providing the features and options commonly requested, as well as rugged and reliable for tough industrial environments. A variety of enclosure options provide the right environmental protection.
