Designed for energy savings and improved process control, MV1000 drives combine compact modular design, high efficiency, low harmonics, and industry leading MTBF into a medium voltage drive solution that is compatible with Yaskawa’s popular 1000 series low voltage AC drive products. Yaskawa’s Smart Harmonics™ Technology reduces input Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) to less than 2.5 percent without filters, which exceeds the requirements of IEEE519-1992 by almost 50 percent, says the company. This technology also provides galvanic isolation between power input and output. The MV1000 uses two 5 voltage step bridges per phase to generate a high quality 17-level line-to-line voltage output delivered to the motor.
