- Closed-loop

Overview
The Yaskawa GA700 is the full-featured industrial drive from 0.55 to 630 kW, with closed-loop vector control (encoder option card) for applications that need full torque at zero speed, such as cranes, hoists, extruders and winders. The GA70B4031ABB is the 15 kW 400 V model (31 A heavy duty, 38 A normal duty) with built-in EMC filter, DC-link choke and dynamic-braking transistor to 30 kW, STO to SIL3 / PL e and Modbus RTU; the same option cards as the GA500 add PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and other networks. Functions include DriveWorksEZ graphical programming, energy-saving control, KEB ride-through and a 10-year design life at 50 °C with reduced-size heatsink-out mounting.

Frequently asked questions
When do I need the GA700 instead of the GA500?
For closed-loop vector control (cranes, hoists, winders), for powers above 30 kW, or for functions such as DriveWorksEZ custom logic and IP55 enclosures.
Does the GA700 support PM motors with encoder?
Yes. With the PG-X3 or PG-F3 option card it runs PM motors in closed-loop vector with full torque at standstill.
Is the GA700 available from stock, and what is the lead time?
Typically 2–4 weeks from Yaskawa regional stock for ratings up to 45 kW. We confirm with the quotation.
