POWER REGENERATIVE UNIT (VS-656RC5)
200V CLASS: 3.7 to 37kW
400V CLASS: 3.7 to 75kW
LITERATURE NO. KAE-S656-3
Fully Supports Inverters
VS-656RC5 can do Three Jobs with One Unit
The VS-656RC5 is a power regenerative unit
with both braking and regenerative functions.
The VS-656RC5 shows great energy-saving
performance in combination with an inverter.
Because the VS-656RC5 does not require a
braking resistor unit, it requires less space and
enhances braking ability.
The VS-656RC5 will dramatically affect
applications with large minus loads such as
cranes and elevators.
Helps the Energy-Saving Drive
The VS-656RC5 operates only at power regeneration with 120° current conduction.
It efficiently regenerates load energy to the power supply, which results in significant energy savings.

Notes: 1 Use 1:1 with an inverter. Do not connect more than one inverter to one VS-656RC5.
2 Use the VS-656RC5 whose capacity is equal to one exceeding the inverter capacity to be combined.
3 Make sure to use the specified AC reactor, fuse, and fuse holder.
4 Do not use this unit with single-phase power supply. Use three-phase power supply.
5 When the power supply is a generator, check the capacity of the generator. Contact your YASKAWA representative.
* Use the VS-656RC5 with larger output capacity if the imbalance rate between phases exceeds 2 %.
Imbalance rate between phases can be calculated using the following formula (Conforming to IEC1800-3).
Imbalance rate between phases [%] =
Max. voltage - Min. voltage

• Open Chassis Type (IEC IP00)
Protected so that parts of the human body
cannot reach electrically charged parts from the
front when the VS-656RC5 is mounted in a
control panel.
• Enclosed Wall-mounted Type (NEMA 1)
Structured so that the VS-656RC5 is shielded
from the exterior, and can thus be mounted to
the interior wall of a standard building (not
necessarily enclosed in a control panel).
The protective structure conforms to the
standards of NEMA 1 in the USA.

2. Mounting hole is common to both open chassis type and enclosed type.
3. An atachment is required when installing external heatsink in a cabient. See p.13 for details.

I Alarm Displays
An alarm is displayed when the VS-656RC5 detects a minor fault. The VS-656RC5 automatically
returns to the original status when the cause of the fault has been removed.
