HO duty delivers 200 % current for 3 seconds and 150 % for 57 seconds — enough to start a loaded conveyor or break away a stuck pump impeller without tripping. LO duty gives 150 % for 3 seconds and 110 % for 57 seconds, sized for variable-torque loads like fans and centrifugal pumps where the starting torque requirement is lower. The PM250 supports regenerative operation — it can return braking energy to the line rather than dumping it as heat into a braking resistor, which matters for overhauling loads like centrifuges, hoists, or unwinding sections. ## Active production, made to order The product class is C, meaning it is manufactured or produced to order and cannot be reused or returned against credit — plan the BOM quantity accordingly and confirm lead time at RFQ. Packaging dimensions are 510 x 400 x 310 mm; the unit ships as a single piece. ## Regulatory and compliance notes RoHS compliant since 2016-05-11, with a REACH Article 33 duty-to-inform declaration for lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1 % w/w. Export control classification is AL: N / ECCN: 9N9999 — no special license required for most destinations, but confirm against your end-use and jurisdiction.","metaTitle":"Siemens 6SL3225-0BE31-8UA0 SINAMICS G120 PM250, 18.5/22 kW","metaDescription":"Siemens 6SL3225-0BE31-8UA0 SINAMICS G120 Power Module PM250, 18.5 kW HO / 22 kW LO, 380-480 VAC, IP20, active production, quoted to order.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["AC Drives (VFD)"],"specifications":{"title":"6SL3225-0BE31-8UA0","Group Code":"R220","description":"SINAMICS G120 POWER MODULE PM250 WITHOUT FILTER POSSIBILITY OF REGENERATION 3AC380-480V +10/-10% 47-63HZ OUTPUT HIGH OVERLOAD: 18,5KW FOR 200% 3S,150% 57S,100% 240S AMBIENT TEMP 0 TO +50 DEG C OUTPUT LIGHT OVERLOAD: 22KW FOR 150% 3S,110% 57S,100% 240S AMBIENT TEMP 0 TO +40 DEG C 512 X 275 X 204 (HXWXD), FSD PROTECTION IP20 WITHOUT CONTROL UNIT AND BOP","Product Group":"9784","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":"Power Modules","lifecycle_stage":"mature","Packaging Quantity":"1","Export Control Regulations":"AL : N / ECCN : 9N9999","Packaging dimensions (L x W x H)":"510.00 x 400.00 x 310.00 mm","Compliance with the substance restrictions according to RoHS directive":"Since: 11-05-16","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":"$2,205.99","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":"https://support.industry.siemens.com/webbackend/api/ProductSupport/TechnicalData?language=en&region=cn&productId=202586&mlfb=6SL3225-0BE31-8UA0"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the difference between high overload and light overload on this PM250?","answer":"High overload (HO) at 18.5 kW provides 200 % current for 3 seconds and 150 % for 57 seconds, suitable for starting high-inertia or high-breakaway-torque loads. Light overload (LO) at 22 kW provides 150 % for 3 seconds and 110 % for 57 seconds, matched to variable-torque applications like fans and centrifugal pumps.

For applications where regeneration is not desired or the line cannot accept return energy, an external resistor can still be added."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/6SL3225-0BE31-8UA0","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/6SL3225-0BE31-8UA0 when reusing this data.
