Drive selection memo — 6SL3200-6AE17-7AH0
The Siemens 6SL3200-6AE17-7AH0 is a G120P variable speed drive in frame size FSA, rated for 3 kW power output at 400 V operating voltage, delivering 7.7 A continuous output current. It includes an integrated Filter A for conducted emissions compliance, and the IP20 enclosure suits clean, ventilated panel installations where airborne dust and incidental contact are controlled. The drive is designed for variable-torque applications typical of pump and fan loads — the G120P series targets process duty rather than high-dynamic motion control. Overload capacity is 110% for 57 seconds and 150% for 3 seconds every 300 seconds, which covers the stall and acceleration peaks of centrifugal loads. Communication flexibility is built in: native Modbus/RTU, RS485/USS, and BACnet MS/TP, with optional PROFIBUS, PROFINET, or CANopen via plug-in modules. This makes the drive straightforward to integrate into existing building automation or industrial networks without a gateway.
Product conformity covers CE, UL, EAC, and RCM — the drive is accepted in European, North American, Eurasian, and Australian regulatory jurisdictions. Compliance with EN 61800-3 (adjustable speed electrical power drive systems) governs both EMC and safety requirements for the drive as a component.
Panel fit & mounting
Operating voltage is 400 V, typical for three-phase industrial mains across Europe and much of Asia.
