The Siemens 6SL3210-1NE14-1UL1 is a SINAMICS G120 Power Module PM230 — the unfiltered variant, IP20, size FSA. It delivers 1.5 kW under low overload (150% for 3 s, 110% for 57 s, 100% continuous at 240 s) from a 380-480 V AC three-phase supply, 47-63 Hz. This module ships without a Control Unit or operating panel; you pair it with a CU240B/E-2 or CU230P-2 running firmware V4.4 or higher. Note: the PM230 does not support safety functions, so if your line requires a safe torque-off or safe stop, you need the PM240 or PM250 variant instead.
What the ratings mean for your BOM
The 1.5 kW low-overload rating is the continuous motor power at 100% duty under 40 °C ambient — sized for a constant-torque load like a conveyor or mixer. The 150% overload for 3 seconds covers starting torque or a brief jam; the 110% for 57 seconds handles a longer acceleration ramp. If your process needs sustained overload beyond that, step up to the next frame size. The 380-480 V AC input covers 400 V and 480 V grids worldwide; the +10/-10% tolerance handles weak mains. IP20 means it's for a clean, dry cabinet — no washdown, no dust.
Integration and deployment
The module is FSA form factor — 196 x 73 x 165 mm (HxWxD) — and mounts directly on a DIN rail inside the panel. It needs a CU240x-2 control unit plugged into the front interface; the PM230 has no onboard I/O or fieldbus port, so all communication and I/O come from the CU. The unfiltered variant means you supply an external line filter if the drive must meet EN 55011 Class A or B conducted emissions limits — common for European CE-marked panels. Ambient operating range is 0 to +40 °C at low overload; derate above that.
