Matrix Drive Technology
The U1000 can be used for standard and regenerative applications with the unique advantage of direct AC-to-AC power conversion. This unique design offers the best choice for induction motors (IM) and permanent magnet motors (PM).
Benefits
- low input current harmonics with near unity power factor allowing for increased energy efficiency.
- bi-directional switching technology allows for continuous motoring or continuous regeneration.
The U1000 can automatically switch into across-the-line operation through the drive, eliminating drive generated harmonics, drive losses, and motor noise.

Low Harmonics
Yaskawa Matrix Technology has been successfully proven in the field of low harmonic, space saving and regenerative applications. Eliminate wasteful dynamic braking packages, reduce transformer burden or sizing requirements, retrofit aging equipment using existing panels, and reduce existing operational costs using the more efficient direct AC-to-AC Matrix drive design.
- Facilitates IEEE 519 compliance
- Industry-leading low harmonic performance
- Maintains low harmonics at every speed/load
- Designed for 10 Years of maintenance-free use
Energy Savings
The U1000 is a very compact AC-to-AC drive, which means there is no DC bus inside. This innovative design does not need any braking resistors which wastes the regenerative energy in heat. Now, the regenerative energy can be used by other loads on the same power grid, saving total energy cost and consumption while also reducing the panel cooling system requirements.
- Energy savings
- Less heat generation, reduced need for ventilation
- No braking resistor - greatly reduced risk of fire
- Less maintenance
- Fewer parts
- Compact design
Compact Efficiency
The U1000 design advantages, compared to conventional dynamic braking solutions, continues in saving installation space (up to 50%), reduced weight and 100% save of wasted energy. All you need to connect is 3 wires in and 3 wires out.
COMPACT AND EASY
- Smaller panels
- Very compact footprint
- Simple installation in shortest time
- Perfectly fits in existing installations - easy retrofit
Functional Safety
The U1000 comes with a built-in dual-channel safe torque off (STO) function that meets the requirements of SIL3 and PLe, offering an easy way to improve machine safety without the need for complex external wiring.
- TUV certified according to EN/ISO 13849-1 (PLe), IEC 62061 (SIL3)
- Simple wiring
- Less components
- Higher reliability
- Space saving
