Hitachi VFD Product Lineup
Hitachi offers four VFD series, each targeting a specific application profile:
| Series | Power Range | Supply | Key Features | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WJ200 | 0.4–15 kW | 1×220 V / 3×380 V | Sensorless vector control, built-in PLC, IP20, mini-USB port | Conveyors, pumps, fans, gate operators |
| WL200 | 0.2–18.5 kW | 1×220 V / 3×380 V | Vector control, built-in EMC filter, IP20 | EMC-sensitive environments, industrial networks |
| SJ700 | 0.7–400 kW | 3×380 V | Sensor and sensorless vector control, built-in PLC (B-series), EMC filter (B-series), IP20 (B-series) | Heavy industrial machinery, high-load drives |
| NES1 | 0.2–4.0 kW | 1×220 V / 3×380 V | V/F (scalar) control, compact housing | Low-power equipment, small commercial applications |
How to Choose a Hitachi VFD
To select the right model, determine your motor power, supply type, and required control precision. The WJ200 series suits most standard applications — it combines vector control with a built-in PLC in a compact form factor. The WL200 series is the choice where strict EMC requirements apply: the built-in EMC filter eliminates the need for external components. The SJ700 series handles heavy loads from 0.7 to 400 kW; the SJ700B variant adds IP20, EMC filter, and built-in PLC. The NES1 series is the most affordable option for scalar control of small motors.
