Yaskawa CIMR-V7CC45P5 Varispeed V7 AC Drive 5.5 kW 400 V

Enclosed Varispeed V7 Drive for 5.5 kW Three-Phase 400 V Motors

Specifications

Industrial Applications

• Fans, blowers, pumps and compressors on a 400 V three-phase supply at the 5.5 kW size, where variable-speed control replaces throttling or a fixed-speed starter.
• Conveyors and material-handling lines that need soft starting, adjustable speed and 150% overload headroom.
• Centrifuges, grinders and mixers — duties Yaskawa lists for the V7 where open-loop vector control holds torque at low speed.
• Machine tools, packaging machines and food-processing equipment built around a 5.5 kW motor.
• Commercial laundry and process plant equipment where the drive runs from a standard 400 V three-phase board.
• Like-for-like replacement of a failed V7 in an existing machine, including units originally supplied as GPD 315/V7 or VS mini V7 — names Yaskawa notes were used for earlier versions of this product.

Design Purpose

The V7 (VS-606V7) is Yaskawa's compact general-purpose inverter, and this unit sits at the upper end of the 400 V range at 5.5 kW with a 14.8 A output and an 11 kVA inverter capacity. That rating covers a single substantial motor — a pump, a fan, a conveyor drive or a process machine — rather than the small sub-1 kW auxiliaries the lower end of the range serves.

The order code tells you two things that matter more than the power rating. Both "C" positions mean this is the European standards version supplied with a digital operator: the first marks the drive as shipped with the operator that carries the frequency-setting potentiometer (JVOP-140 in the VS-606V7 parts list), so speed can be set on the front of the unit; the second marks it as built to European standards, which is why the model appears in Yaskawa's EMC directive documentation paired with an external 30 A class B line filter. That filter is a separate part you plan for, not something already inside the drive.

The enclosure is the other practical difference at this size. The VS-606V7 manual makes NEMA 1 enclosed wall-mounting standard for the 5P5 and 7P5 outputs, while it is only optional on the smaller ratings — so this 5.5 kW unit is the enclosed type and can be wall-mounted as supplied, unlike the small 0.4 kW V7 drives in this catalog that are IP20 open chassis and must go inside a cabinet. Inside, the drive runs sine wave PWM with V/f or open-loop vector control over a 0.1–400 Hz range, carries 150% overload for one minute, and has the braking transistor built in, so adding the optional braking resistor lifts regenerative torque from roughly 20% to roughly 150%.

Common Failure Modes

• Overcurrent or ground-fault trip — a shorted motor cable, grounded winding or jammed load forces a protective shutdown. Related troubleshooting: see our article on "Yaskawa V7 Drive Overcurrent Fault Troubleshooting".
• DC-bus overvoltage or undervoltage alarms — a weak supply, an unbalanced 400 V feed or a regenerative load swings the bus out of range. Related troubleshooting: see our article on "Yaskawa V7 DC Bus Overvoltage and Undervoltage Alarms Explained".
• Overtemperature trip from a stalled cooling fan or dust-packed heatsink — at 5.5 kW the drive dissipates real heat, and a blocked cooling path is a common summer failure. Related troubleshooting: see our article on "Yaskawa V7 Cooling Fan and Heatsink Overheat Trip Fix".
• DC-bus capacitor ageing — electrolytic capacitors lose capacitance with heat and years of service, causing intermittent trips and weak bus hold-up. Related troubleshooting: see our article on "Yaskawa VFD DC-Bus Capacitor Aging Diagnosis".
• IGBT / power module failure — sustained overload, output short circuit or poor cooling destroys the output stage. Related troubleshooting: see our article on "Yaskawa AC Drive IGBT Module Failure Diagnosis".
• Digital operator or potentiometer failure — the JVOP-140 keypad and its frequency-setting potentiometer are mechanical wear items; a worn potentiometer gives an unstable or drifting speed reference. Related troubleshooting: see our article on "Yaskawa V7 Digital Operator JVOP-140 Setup and Potentiometer Failure Fix".
• Lost or wrong parameters after initialization — applying the wrong 2-wire / 3-wire initialization resets every setting and can reverse motor rotation. Related troubleshooting: see our article on "Yaskawa V7 Parameter Initialization and 2-Wire 3-Wire Control Setup".

Why Choose Us

• Specialized in industrial robot and drive spare parts for ABB, FANUC, KUKA and YASKAWA.
• We supply the exact Yaskawa unit CIMR-V7CC45P5 (Varispeed V7 / VS-606V7, European standards version with digital operator, three-phase 400 V, 5.5 kW / 14.8 A), matching the code in your records.
• We check the design codes, supply voltage and motor rating with you before you order, so you receive the 400 V V7CC your panel needs rather than a differently coded unit of the same power.
• We flag the external line filter this version needs, so the drive arrives ready to install instead of stopping commissioning on an EMC check.
• Each drive is inspected and functionally checked, then packed to protect the terminals, covers and digital operator, with full order tracking from Shanghai.
• Technical support available for drive selection, wiring checks and fault diagnosis; repair service offered for defective units. Quote-based service — send your inquiry with a nameplate photo, motor data and required condition for a matched offer.
