The Siemens 6SL3200-6AM17-7AH0 is a SINAMICS G120P variable speed drive in Frame Size FSA, rated for 3 kW power output at 7.7 A on a 400 V supply, with an integrated Class A EMC filter and IP55 enclosure. This drive is built for pump, fan, and compressor applications in building services, HVAC, and water/wastewater. The IP55 rating means the enclosure withstands water jets and dust ingress, making it suitable for standalone mounting in washdown areas or outdoors under a canopy — no separate cabinet required. Conformity to EN 61800-3 (the adjustable-speed drive EMC standard) means the integrated Filter A meets conducted and radiated emission limits for the second environment (industrial), so it can be installed without external EMC filtering in most industrial panels.
The 3 kW / 7.7 A output at 400 V is sized for standard 4-pole induction motors up to that power — a 3 kW motor on a pump or fan draws roughly 6.5 A at full load, so the 7.7 A rating gives about 18% headroom for nameplate current plus harmonics. Overload capacity is 110% for 57 seconds and 150% for 3 seconds every 300 seconds — this suits centrifugal loads where starting torque is low but a momentary overload from a blocked impeller or sticky valve needs a short burst of current. The drive operates on 50/60 Hz line supplies, so it drops into either a 50 Hz European or 60 Hz North American installation without derating the input section.
Communication and integration
The drive ships with onboard Modbus/RTU over RS485/USS and BACnet MS/TP for building automation networks — BACnet is the standard protocol for HVAC/BMS integration, so this drive talks directly to a building controller without a gateway. Optional communication modules (ordered separately) add PROFIBUS, PROFINET, or CANopen, allowing the drive to integrate into existing industrial fieldbus architectures.
Product conformity marks include CE, RCM, and EAC. No UL or CSA listing is stated in the evidence; verify with your local Siemens office if a UL mark is required for the installation.
