Varispeed G7[ CIMR-G7A□□□□ ]
Advanced Functions & Environmentally Friendly!
Genuine Vector Control Inverter
The Varispeed G7 Inverters seek high performance and ease of use for applications environments anywhere in the world. The meet high technical demands for performance and functionality. The 400 V Class is the first in the world to use a 3-level control method in a general-purpose Inverter. This new control technique solves the problem of microsurges, and makes it possible to use the Varispeed G7 on existing motors with confidence.
Features
Feature 1Solve all the problems latent in 400 V Inverter drives.
The first 400 V class general-purpose Inverter in the world to use the 3-level control method, to approach sine wave output voltage.
It provides the solution to problems like motor insulation damage due to surge voltage, and electrolytic corrosion of motor bearings due to shaft voltage. Existing general-purpose motors can be used even without surge suppression filters. The noise and leakage current are greatly reduced (halved in in-house comparison).
- Features of the 3-level Control Method
-
- Low surge voltage
Suppresses surge voltage to the motor, eliminating the need for surge voltage protection for the motor. - Low electrical noise
Significantly reduces conductive (power supply) noise and radiated noise caused by Inverter drives, minimizing effects on peripheral devices. - Low acoustic noise
Provides low acoustic noise, difficult to achieve with conventional designs.
- Low surge voltage
Feature 2Global Specifications

Feature 3Environmentally Friendly
- Enhanced Energy-Saving Control
-
The energy-saving control approaches the maximum efficiency. High-efficient, energy-saving operations are achieved for any applications either in vector control or V/f control.
- Countermeasures to minimize harmonics current
-
Models of 18.5 kW or more come equipped with a built-in DC Reactor to minimize harmonics current (option for models of 15 kW or less).
They also have 12-pulse input to prevent current distortion.
note: For 12-pulse input, a transformer with a dual star-delta secondary is required for the input power supply.
Feature 4High level Control Preformance
- Outstanding Torque Characteristics
-
The New Observer (patent pending) improves torque characteristics (150%/0.3 Hz for open loop vector control 2) to provide high power for every machine.
With PG, more than 150% high-torque operation is possible even at zero speed.
High torque from 1/200 speed
(Dynamic auto-tuning, open loop vector control)
[speed control range 1:200 with PG 1:1000]
- Accurate Torque Control
-
The precision torque limit function allows accurate control of the output torque, protecting your machines from sudden load fluctuations.
Torque Control
(Torque limit set at 150%)
- Proven Responsiveness
-
- The model tracking control assures fast response even without PG (doubled in in-house comparison).
- With a PG you can make use of our unique high-speed current vector control, rapidly responses speed reference changes (speed response 40 Hz/motor unit). Speed keeps constant even if load fluctuates.
Quick response to reference changes
(Speed reference step response)
Handles sudden load fluctuations
(Speed recovery characteristics upon load surges) - High-Speed Search (Patent Pending)
-
- The high-speed search function reduces the recovery time after momentary power loss (halved in in-house comparison).
- Recovery is possible regardless of direction of rotation.
Quick, shockless start
(Continued operation after momentary power loss)
- Simple auto-tuning
- In addition to conventional rotational auto-tuning, a new stationary auto-tuning is available to draw out peak performance from the motors of the world.
- Safety and Protection Functions
-
- High-speed, high-precision current control functions support continuous operation by suppressing overcurrent trips, restart after momentary power loss, stall prevention and fault retry.
- The PTC thermistor in the motor helps protect it against overheating.
