Yaskawa Electric Corporation CIMR-J7AM40P7 AC Drive

The Yaskawa CIMR-J7AM40P7 is a compact general-purpose AC drive (Variable Frequency Drive, VFD) from the VS Mini J7 series designed to control three-phase motors in industrial applications. It accepts 380–460 VAC three-phase input and uses PWM inverter technology with V/f control to deliver reliable speed and torque while keeping motor noise low and starting torque high. Specifications include an output current of approximately 4.9 A, 50/60 Hz operation, and ~150% overload for 60 seconds, plus digital inputs, analog input, and a programmable output, with optional RS-485 (Modbus) communication. Commonly used in light to medium industrial tasks such as conveyors, pumps, fans, small machinery, and automation equipment requiring adjustable speed control; the VS Mini J7 (GPD305) family emphasizes compact size and straightforward parameter setup. Common replacements include Yaskawa V1000 Series Microdrive, GA500 Series Compact Drive, and GA800 Series Industrial Drive.
