Compact Design
Every drive has dual rating, Normal Duty (ND) and Heavy Duty (HD). Parameter settings let the user select the rating that best suits the application needs. Selecting ND allows the drive to operate a more powerful motor an entire frame size larger than with HD. Side-by-Side installation and J1000’s impressively compact design make it possible to fit the entire setup into even the narrowest enclosures.
- Note : Current derating must be considered. Select a motor that has a current rating within the rated current of the drive.
How Side-by-Side Installation Works
Example: 200 V 0.75 kW
- Note : If the last drive in a series is installed next to a wall, a 30 mm gap is required.
Compact Setup in Enclosure Panel (mm)
| Example : | 200 V Class, Three-Phase Input 3.7 kW (HD) |
Note : As the Finless Type lacks its own heatsink, steps still need to be taken to ensure proper heat dissipation. The example above shows a drive installed to a fully-enclosed panel with an external cooling unit added to handle cooling requirements. Refer to the manual for details.
Easy Operation
The Setup Mode gives the user quick access to the basic parameters needed to get the application running right away. This feature ensures quick and easy setup once the drive is installed. The Verify Menu lists all setting that have been changed from their original default values.

Starts Heavy Loads Effortlessly
Fully automatic torque compensation across the entire speed range, whether accelerating, decelerating, or operating at constant speed. Capable of 100% rated torque as low as 1.5 Hz, and 150% at 3 Hz when set for Heavy Duty performance.
Powerful Torque
Yaskawa’s Full Range, Fully Automatic Torque Compensation
The drive output voltage needed in a single application varies with changing load conditions. Yaskawa’s torque compensation function automatically adjusts voltage levels to maintain the required V/f pattern during acceleration and when operating at a constant speed.
Smooth, Continuous Operation
Stall Prevention keeps the motor running smoothly. Speed Search and Momentary Power Loss Ride-Thru functions can restart a coasting motor without a motor encoder, making continuous operation possible should a transient fault occur.
Momentary Power Loss Ride-Thru
Easily restart the motor without a motor encoder.
Perfect for fan, blowers, and other rotating, fluid-type applications.
Enhanced Braking
The overexcitation braking functions enables rapid braking up to 50% faster without using a braking resistor. All models come equipped with a braking transistor for even faster stopping capabilities should the user decide to install a braking resistor.
Overexcitation Braking
- ∗ : Overexcitation braking for a 400 V class 3.7 kW drive without a braking resistor. Results may vary with motor and load conditions.
Loaded with Protective Features
All models come equipped with an inrush current suppression circuit, protecting the drive from unstable power conditions. Overload detection and motor thermal protection prevent damage to connected machinery, while fault restart ensures continuous production.
Hassle-Free Maintenance
wa drives have a built-in maintenance timer that keeps track of component performance, including capacitors, softcharge circuitry, IGBTs, and the cooling fan. This ensures maximum performance life of the drive.
The cooling fan is also designed for quick replacement: both detachable and easily accessible from the top of the drive.
Attaching/Detaching the Cooling Fan
Engineering tool DriveWizard Plus automatically converts parameter settings from the earlier VS mini J7 to match parameters in J1000.
Not only useful for model upgrades and transitions, but also a time-saving feature in case a drive needs to be replaced.
Model Transition

Yaskawa’s USB Copy Unit is available for applications with multiple drives requiring the same parameter settings. Use the Copy Unit to load parameters from the drive at the factory and edit them later on a PC∗2. Incredibly useful for backing up parameter settings and easier than a carrying around a laptop.
- ∗2 : Requires an optional interface and freeware Copy Unit Manager.

- Note : Data can only be transferred between drives that are the same model running the same software version.
Durability in a Wide Range of Environments
A wide range of protective features are available for harsher environments, including designs that are resistant to moisture, dust, oil, and shock.
Minimizing Power Supply Harmonics
AC and DC reactor are both available to minimize the amount of harmonic distortion in the system.
