Yaskawa CIMR-R5A25P5 Variable Frequency Drive

The Yaskawa CIMR-R5A25P5 Varispeed 656RC5 AC Drive is a regenerative drive unit used to control motor speed and manage braking energy in industrial applications, including conveyors, cranes, hoists, and other high-inertia machinery that require controlled deceleration and energy feedback. This panel-mounted drive runs on 200–230 VAC and delivers about 5.5 kW (roughly 7.5 HP), with DC bus support for regeneration and braking via a PWM inverter with regenerative capability. It is designed for AC 3‑phase induction motors and is commonly applied in material handling, elevators, and heavy-duty processing equipment where excess motor energy must be dissipated or returned to the system. Common replacements include CIMR-G7A25P5, CIMR-P5U25P5, and CIMR-AU4A0007FAA.
