This is the HVAC/water/wastewater variant of the G120 family, built for pump and fan loads where the drive lives in a panel room, not a machine cabinet. The IP20 / UL open type enclosure suits a clean electrical room; no washdown rating needed here. ## Built-in RFI filter and PROFIBUS — less panel wiring The integrated RFI suppression filter is rated for Category C3 (industrial environment, second environment per EN 61800-3). That saves an external filter and the associated panel space and wiring — one less thing to land on a midnight startup. Fieldbus is onboard PROFIBUS DP. No option module to slot in, no bus connector to add — the drive arrives ready to talk to a Siemens S7-300/400 or any PROFIBUS master. The IO expansion is also included, so you get the base I/O without a separate terminal board. ## Active production, made-to-order — plan the lead time The lifecycle status is active, but this is a Product class C item — manufactured to order, not a stock-keeping SKU on a distributor shelf. That means the lead time is set by the production queue, not a warehouse pick. Budget for the build cycle when you're planning a panel shop order or a line-down replacement. Export control is AL:N / ECCN:EAR99H, so it ships without an export license for most destinations. RoHS compliant since March 2020, with a REACH Article 33 declaration for lead content above 0.1% — the documentation package includes the substance declaration if your downstream compliance team needs it. ## What the 315 kW rating means for a real pump or fan At 380 V, 315 kW corresponds to roughly 560 A full-load motor current for a standard efficiency motor — the drive's output stage is sized for that continuous current plus the 135% short-term overload. For a variable-torque load like a centrifugal pump or fan, the drive rarely hits full current except during acceleration, so the thermal capacity is generous. The 110% continuous overload for 60 seconds handles the occasional belt-tensioning or start-against-closed-valve scenario without tripping. The ambient temperature rating is 0 to +45 °C without derating. Above 45 °C you'll need to derate output current per the standard G120X curve — a factor to check if the drive is going into a non-air-conditioned electrical room in a hot climate.","metaTitle":"Siemens 6SL3220-1YE56-1CP0 SINAMICS G120X VFD, 315 kW","metaDescription":"Siemens 6SL3220-1YE56-1CP0 SINAMICS G120X VFD, 315 kW at 135% overload, 380-480 VAC, IP20, with PROFIBUS DP and RFI filter C3.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["AC Drives (VFD)"],"specifications":{"Group Code":"R220","Product Group":"4R53","Product class":"C: products manufactured / produced to order, which cannot be reused or re-utilized or be returned against credit.","Quantity Unit":"1 Piece","Product Family":"SINAMICS G120X infrastructure converters for HVAC/Water/Wastewater","lifecycle_stage":"mature","Packaging Quantity":"1","Export Control Regulations":"AL : N / ECCN : EAR99H","Packaging dimensions (L x W x H)":"800.00 x 1,870.00 x 600.00 mm","Compliance with the substance restrictions according to RoHS directive":"Since: 11-03-20","REACH Art. 33 Duty to inform according to the current list of candidates":"Lead CAS-No. 7439-92-1 > 0,1 % (w / w)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":"https://sieportal.siemens.com/en-ae/products-services/detail/6SL3220-1YE56-1CP0?tree=CatalogTree","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/6SL3220-1YE56-1CP0/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What compliance documentation comes with this drive?","answer":"RoHS compliant since March 2020.
