System Components

In addition to drives and drive packages, OnDrive & Yaskawa offer the following solutions to address your application power requirements.

D1000 Regenerative Converter

D1000 is an active rectifier for the purpose of supplying DC power to a multi-drive system.

Because it is an "active" rectifier, the D1000 is capable of both bidirectional power flow (motoring & regenerating), and low input harmonics. Ranging from 5 - 750HP, D1000 is an excellent choice for powering such systems.

R1000 Regenerative Unit

R1000 is an attractive solution for single drive applications that regenerate more than what's desired for dynamic braking, and is available in ratings from 3.5kW - 300kW.

Looking for a smart and efficient alternative to dynamic braking? Look no further, the R1000 Regenerative Braking Unit is your answer.

Dynamic Brake Module 22kW - 220kW

Yaskawa offers the following solutions for dynamic braking, full regeneration, and common bus supplies.

Dynamic Braking Modules are an economical solution for braking applications that do not result in a large amount of annual energy cost.

Single Phase Converter

The Single Phase Converter changes single phase AC power into DC power for Yaskawa's variable frequency drive families.

The Single Phase Converter solves many single phase motor control application problems from power quality to harmonics.

In\Output

Inputs & Outputs

This array of option cards can extend the flexibility & adaptability of Yaskawa AC drives. These options may be factory installed or field installed.

Input\Output Options vary based on the Drive selected; refer to Drive webpage for related In\Outputs available.

Analog Inputs	Option Card # & Mounting Location
(13 Bit + Sign)...Provides the interface of a 16 bit digital input (binary or BCD) speed reference to the drive. Signal levels (individually selectable): 0 to +/- 10 VDC (20kOhm) or 4 to 20mA (500 ohm). Input resolution: Voltage (1/8192), Current (1/6654).	AI-A3 CN5-A

Digital Inputs	Option Card # & Mounting Location
20VAC Logic Interface (8-input)...Mounts directly to the control terminal block on the drive and allows the use of 120 VAC control logic circuits to produce multi-function control input signals for the drive. Used for digital inputs S1 to S8.	DI-101 Terminal Strip

Power

This array of Power-related options are available for Yaskawa AC drives; some may be factory-mounted within a drive enclosure, others may be separately mounted.

Power Options vary based on the Drive selected; refer to the Drive webpage for related Power Options available.

Power Options	More Information
24VDC Control Power Unit... This option provides board-level component voltages for the A1000 drive when provided with 24VDC from an external, customer-supplied source. It is used to maintain both drive control power and network communications (when utilized). Option kit for customer mounting.	View Details
Reactor... Used on either the input or output of a drive to reduce the effect of line-side or load-side transients. These 3-phase reactors are available in a NEMA 1 enclosure for field installation, or factory installed in a Configured package.	View Details
DC Bus Reactor... Used in place of an input reactor to improve power factor. Helps attenuate distortion back to the line and to reduce DC bus ripple current. Available in a NEMA 1 enclosure for field installation, or factory installed in a Configured package.	View Details
EMC Filters... Used on the input of the drive to attenuate possible drive-generated noise. Filters should always be mounted as close to the drive a possible. These filters meet the requirements for CE.	View Details
Dynamic Braking 10% Duty... Assists the drive to periodically decelerate a load without over voltage trips. Dynamic braking consists of at least one transistor and at least one resistor, and is sized for rated motor horsepower. The braking transistor may be included in the standard drive. The resistors are sized for a 10% duty cycle (10 seconds maximum on-time of every 100 seconds), and will provide approximately 150% braking torque. Ten percent dynamic braking is not typically used for "hold-back" type applications such as unwinders, hoists, or downhill conveyors.	View Details
Dynamic Braking 3% Duty... Are rated for 3% duty cycle over a 100-second interval. Approximate braking torque for each rating is listed. These resistors are designed for separate panel mounting.	View Details
Line Regeneration Converters... Yaskawa offers two line-regeneration products, that can provide braking torque in applications that have large overhauling loads or make frequent stops such as elevators, centrifuges, test stands, and winders. Line regeneration can result in significantly reduced operation costs in these types of machinery by "re-cycling" the excess power back to the power grid. The D1000 is a high performance converter with a PWM sinusoidal waveform with very low harmonic distortion (approximately 5% THD) and is designed to meet IEEE-519 requirements. The D1000 is wired in series between the drive and the incoming line and therefore must have an equal or larger current rating than the drive. The DC5 handles both motoring and regenerative power from the drive. The R1000 unit is lower cost with a 6-step output waveform that does not provide IEEE-519 compliant power and can be sized based on the application, from continuous to intermittent. The R1000 is wired in parallel to the drive and only handles regeneration power. The drive handles motoring power through its own diode bridge.	D1000 Regenerative Converter or R1000 Regenerative Unit
