CIMR-VC4A0018FAA Yaskawa Inverter V1000, 400 V, VT: 17,5 A / 7,5 kW, CT: 14,8 A / 5,5 kW, NEMA 1

Why Choose the Yaskawa CIMR-VC4A0018FAA V1000 AC Drive?

The Yaskawa CIMR-VC4A0018FAA is a high-performance V1000 series variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for reliable speed and torque control of three-phase AC motors in demanding industrial automation systems. By converting fixed-frequency input power into a variable-frequency output, the inverter allows machinery to operate efficiently while improving process stability and reducing energy consumption.

Operating from a three-phase 380–480 V AC power supply, the drive supports motors up to approximately 5.5 kW heavy-duty or 7.5 kW normal-duty. The V1000 platform incorporates advanced control technologies including open-loop vector control, support for permanent magnet motors without feedback devices and online auto-tuning for optimised motor performance.
