The Siemens 6SL3200-6AM15-8BH0 is a G120P variable speed drive in frame size FSA, rated for 2.2 kW power output at 400 V operating voltage with a continuous output current of 5.9 A. It is built for pump and fan applications — the P in G120P points to the pump/fan duty profile — and carries Filter B for conducted emissions compliance per EN 61800-3, which means it meets the EMC standard for variable-speed drives in industrial environments without an external filter in most installations.
Output frequency reaches 550 Hz, which covers high-speed spindle or centrifuge applications well beyond standard 50/60 Hz motor base speeds. The overload capacity is 110% for 57 seconds and 150% for 3 seconds every 300 seconds — this is the real-world duty cycle for pump starts or fan inertia: sustained overload for acceleration, then a short burst for stall clearing, with a 5-minute recovery window. The drive accepts 50/60 Hz line frequency and includes four analog inputs, two analog outputs, and six digital inputs — enough for a basic PID loop with feedback, a setpoint, and start/stop interlocks without an external I/O block. Communication options cover Modbus/RTU, RS485/USS, BACnet MS/TP, with optional PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and CANopen, so it drops into most building-automation or industrial networks.
For a critical spare holding, this is the drive to keep one in the cabinet if you have a G120P FSA install base. The 2.2 kW / 5.9 A rating matches a standard 3 HP induction motor at 400 V, so it backs up a common pump or fan drive without oversizing.
