Regenerative Energy
When a motor rotates, it consumes energy. When a motor is rotated, it generates energy.
You can save energy by using regenerative energy instead of wasting it.
Efficient Energy Usage
Braking resistor results in discarding energy as heat,but you can return this regenerative energy to the power supply to save energy.
You Can Save This Much!
Example of the Effectiveness of Regenerative Energy Savings
Visualizing Savings in Electricity
Use analog outputs or communications networks to monitor all sorts of data with easy operations. You’ll instantly see the energy that you’ve saved.
Harmonics
Without peripheral devices, the input current waveform becomes sinusoidal, similar to that of a commercial power supply, so the harmonic pollution of the power supply is minimized for the protection of surrounding machinery. The available power system capacity can be increased, and the regulations on harmonics easily met.
When an AC drive converts power, the input current is distorted, which results in harmonics.
These harmonics can interfere with other electric devices, such as by causing overheating or damage to power supply facilities and malfunction and noise in precision devices.
Reduce Power Supply Capacity
The power factor is high, so you can use a lower power supply capacity.
You can also downsize wires and generator capacity, and may qualify for price benefits from your power company.
Harmonic countermeasures not necessary
Harmonic countermeasures that were previously required to connect a converter, such as input AC reactors, harmonic filter reactors, and capacitors, are not necessary, which helps you save wiring, space, and energy costs.

Drives Synchronous Motors
When a motor rotates, it consumes energy. When a motor is rotated, it generates energy. You can save energy by using regenerative energy instead of wasting it.
All types of motors can be controlled, including induction motors and IPM/SPM synchronous motors, without using sensors.
Wide Product Lineup
We’ve increased the number of 200-V-class models from 4 to 10 and the number of 400-V-class models from 7 to 23.
