Yaskawa R1000 – Regenerative Unit

Yaskawa R1000 – Regenerative Unit
The Yaskawa R1000 is an intelligent regenerative unit for single and multi-axis drive systems with a high proportion of braking energy. Rather than dissipating braking energy as heat, the R1000 feeds it directly back into the supply grid — available to other consumers and delivering measurable cost savings.
Intelligent system design: Since only the braking force determines the sizing, the R1000 can be specified smaller than the connected drive. This saves installation space, reduces costs, and maximises overall system efficiency.
Universal compatibility: The R1000 works with all standard frequency inverters that provide full access to the DC bus — making it ideal for both new installations and retrofitting existing systems. Compatible with Yaskawa A1000, V1000, and L1000A/L1000V, among others.
Wide application range: Elevators, escalators, cranes, centrifuges, winders, presses, and many other applications with continuous or cyclic braking operation benefit from the R1000.
Power range: 3.5 to 300 kW at 380–480 V AC, with an overload capacity of 150% for 30 seconds. In continuous operation, 80% braking torque is permanently available.
Complete package: Includes current suppression choke, optional IP20 enclosure, and EMC filter — all perfectly matched, one order number. Certified to UL, CE, and RoHS.
