GA50UB018ABA Yaskawa GA500 VFD 5 hp 3.7 kW 240 V
The Yaskawa GA50UB018ABA is a specialized 5 HP (3.7 kW) standard-frequency AC drive designed for single-phase 240V incoming lines. It outputs 17.6 Amps Heavy Duty and supports up to 590 Hz for high-performance motor applications.
This VFD come with CNC Parts Dept’s easy setup guide. Alternately for a small fee, we can pre-program your drive to match your spindle motor. Ask us about our VFD programming services.
Description
The Yaskawa GA50UB018ABA variable frequency drive is custom-designed for facilities where 3-phase utility power is unavailable. Supporting output ranges up to 590 Hz, this specialized VFD allows operators to run high-efficiency 3-phase motors and standard spindles from standard 200–240 V single-phase incoming lines.
Rated for Heavy Duty parameters, this unit outputs 17.6 Amps of continuous current. Its unique single-phase input conversion circuits are built to withstand high inrush current, protecting the internal rectifier components from premature wear and thermal stress.

Key Performance & Architectural Advantages
Standard Frequency Speed Profile
Broad standard-frequency output ranges support speed-machining and motor-drive operations up to 590 Hz without sacrificing motor torque efficiency or thermal performance across all load profiles.
Universal Motor Control
Supports advanced sensorless open-loop vector, EZ Vector, PM motor tracking, and traditional V/f control for highly adaptive operation across standard spindle and standard induction motor designs.
Embedded DriveWorksEZ
Customize specific VFD logic operations and automate auxiliary controls without an external PLC by utilizing built-in icon-based software programming environments.
Integrated Braking Transistor
Offers direct dynamic braking torque capability out of the box to rapidly slow and stop standard routing and milling spindles safely (requires external resistors).
Coated PCB Protection
Standard dual-conformally coated printed circuit boards provide robust resistance to conductive metal fragments, carbon wood dust, and humid cooling mist atmospheres.
24 VDC Auxiliary Control Power
Directly powers internal control logic loops and connected external system sensors without requiring a secondary auxiliary cabinet power supply unit.
