Yaskawa Yaskawa GA500
Yaskawa GA500 micro frequency inverters for industrial drives, with powers from 0.1 to 30 kW, on 200 V single-phase or three-phase and 400 V three-phase supply.
GA500 is the general-purpose micro frequency inverter from Yaskawa for industrial applications, from pumps and fans to compressors, conveyors and positioning. The European datasheet indicates three power ranges: 0.1–22 kW on 200 V three-phase supply, 0.1–4.0 kW on 200 V single-phase supply and 0.37–30 kW on 400 V three-phase supply. Each unit has two duty modes, Heavy Duty (150 % overload for one minute, for constant-torque loads) and Normal Duty (110 % for one minute, for pumps and fans), and in Normal Duty the inverter can drive a motor one size larger.
The code is read from the label of the unit. The complete form has the structure "CIPR-GA50C4012EBAA-BAAASA": the series (GA50), the region (C for Europe), the voltage (B single-phase 230 V, 2 three-phase 230 V, 4 three-phase 400 V), the rated current (three digits), the EMC filter (E integrated, A external), the enclosure (B IP20 with heat sink and fan, J without heat sink) and the environmental specification (A standard, P ruggedized). For a quotation, please send us the complete code and a photo of the nameplate; we confirm the code and the availability in the quotation.

Frequently asked questions
What do Heavy Duty and Normal Duty mean on the GA500?
They are the two load modes of the same unit. In Heavy Duty, the inverter withstands 150 % of the rated current for one minute, for constant-torque loads, and in Normal Duty it withstands 110 % for one minute, for pumps and fans. Normal Duty allows a motor one size larger. The power shown on the unit depends on the mode, so it helps us to know the mode and the motor driven.
How do I read the code of a GA500 from the nameplate?
After CIPR- come the series GA50, the region letter (C for Europe), the voltage (B, 2 or 4), the rated current in three digits, the EMC filter (E integrated or A external), the enclosure (B or J) and the environmental specification (A or P). The Europe datasheet covers codes with region C; for a code with other letters in this position, send a photo of the nameplate, and we confirm the variant in the manufacturer's documentation.
What details do I send for a replacement quotation?
The complete code or a photo of the nameplate, the supply voltage, the motor power and current, the mode (pump/fan or constant-torque load) and the options used now, for example the network card or the keypad. Made to order, the lead time is usually 1–4 weeks; we confirm the availability and the exact lead time in the quotation.
The listing shows a selection of code combinations from the model list, marked as such; the Heavy Duty and Normal Duty power, the currents and the derating for each size are read in the datasheet. The inverter is sized for your application from the motor and load data.
