Power rating and overload capability that decides the motor match
The 6SL3210-1PC26-8UL0: This SINAMICS G120 Power Module PM240-2 delivers 15 kW continuous in high-overload (HO) mode with a 200% overload for 3 seconds, 150% for 57 seconds, and 100% for 240 seconds — the duty cycle that matters for starting a loaded conveyor or a high-inertia fan. In low-overload (LO) mode it handles 18.5 kW continuous with 150% for 3 seconds, 110% for 57 seconds, and 100% for 240 seconds, suited for pumps and compressors with steady torque demand. The built-in braking chopper handles regenerative energy from fast deceleration without an external module — the DC bus threshold is set internally, and an external resistor rated for the deceleration duty cycle prevents overvoltage trips on rapid stops.
Active production and compliance documentation for procurement
RoHS compliant since January 1, 2017, with REACH Article 33 disclosure for lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w. Export control classification is AL: N / ECCN: 9N9999, meaning no special license is required for most industrial destinations.
The FSD blocksize format measures 472 x 200 x 237 mm (H x W x D) with IP20 protection — designed for enclosure mounting where the cooling airflow path is managed by the panel builder. The unfiltered variant means the drive expects a clean supply or an external line reactor; the built-in braking chopper saves panel space compared to adding a separate module. Approved for CU firmware version V4.7 HF8 — the control unit and operator panel are ordered separately, so the BOM must include the matching CU and any fieldbus option module for the application.
