The GPD515C-A160 AC drive from Yaskawa delivers notable capabilities for controlling industrial motors. It provides an output power of 45 kW alongside 60 HP efficiency, making it suitable for high-demand applications. This drive is engineered to handle a continuous output current of approximately 160 A, ensuring reliable performance.
With versatile control methods, the drive supports V/Hz, sensorless, and flux vector control techniques, allowing for sufficient adaptability to various operational requirements. The precision of control ranges from ±0.1% to ±0.01%, which ensures consistent operation across different conditions. For those requiring feedback mechanisms, there is an option for an encoder to be added for the flux vector method.
The IP20 protection class denotes that the chassis of the GPD515C-A160 is suited for environments that are free from dust and moisture, whereas the ambient temperature capabilities permit operation in a range from -10 to 50 °C. The drive can withstand ambient humidity levels of up to 95% without condensation, ensuring durability in humid conditions.
For installation, maintain proper clearances of 4.7 inches above and below the drive and 1.2 inches on the sides to allow for adequate ventilation. It can handle overloads up to 150% for a duration of 60 seconds, which facilitates temporary spikes in demand without compromising the unit.
Vibration resistance ratings indicate it can endure 1 G at frequencies between 10-20 Hz and 0.6 G through 55 Hz. With a total weight of approximately 2.3 kg, the GPD515C-A160 is manageable and designed for ease of installation into existing systems. This drive's input voltage requirements remain at 230 VAC and can operate with input frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz, aligning with standard electrical supply systems.
