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.

Requires Less Space
The VS-656RC5 requires less than half the area and is less than half the bulk of braking resistor
systems that have a braking unit + braking resistor .
A magnetic contactor is not needed.
