SERIES DESCRIPTION

The Hitachi RCU Series regenerative converter units provide efficient power recovery by returning regenerative energy from the inverter’s DC-bus back to the AC line, reducing overall energy consumption and braking resistor heat losses.
The RCU-2015 model is designed for 200 V-class inverters up to 15 kW (20 HP), offering compact size, reliable thermal design, and multiple protection functions for safe regenerative operation.

Features

  • Compact 200 V-class unit for 15 kW (20 HP) inverters (KE3 frame)
  • Regenerative power feedback to AC mains to improve efficiency
  • Built-in overcurrent, overvoltage and thermal protection circuits
  • PWM current control for stable regeneration under variable loads
  • 25 % ED duty cycle for cyclic energy recovery applications
