Yaskawa’s Z1000U HVAC Matrix Drive provides extremely low harmonic distortion in a space-saving design, along with the same HVAC-specific features as the standard Z1000. This single-component solution achieves excellent low-distortion levels all by itself, completely without the need for additional countermeasures such as passive filters or multipulse arrangements. Yaskawa’s Matrix technology employs a system of nine bi-directional switches that are arranged in a matrix to convert a 3-phase ac-input voltage directly into a 3-phase ac-output voltage. It eliminates the need for a rectifying circuit and a dc bus used in traditional ac-drive inverters.
