Duty ratings and overload capability
The 6SL3210-1PC28-0UL0 is a SINAMICS G120 Power Module PM240-2 in blocksize format, unfiltered, with a built-in braking chopper. It accepts 3-phase 200-240 VAC input at 47-63 Hz and delivers output rated for high overload (HO): 18.5 kW with 200% for 3 seconds, 150% for 57 seconds, and 100% for 240 seconds, at ambient -20 to +50 °C. Under low overload (LO) it delivers 22 kW with 150% for 3 seconds, 110% for 57 seconds, and 100% for 240 seconds, at ambient -20 to +40 °C. The HO rating means the drive can handle a 200% current surge for 3 seconds — enough to start a loaded conveyor or pump without tripping. The LO rating suits applications with lighter starting demands, such as fans or centrifugal pumps, where the 22 kW continuous output matches the motor nameplate.
Integration and mounting
The power module measures 551 x 275 x 237 mm (H x W x D) and ships in packaging dimensions 595 x 400 x 350 mm. It is IP20 protected, so it must be installed inside a suitable enclosure. The blocksize format allows direct mounting on a backplate or DIN rail, with the built-in braking chopper eliminating the need for an external brake module in most applications.
Compliance and lifecycle
The product status is Active per Siemens lifecycle data. It is RoHS compliant since 01-01-17 and contains lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w, triggering REACH Article 33 duty to inform. Export control classification is AL: N / ECCN: 9N9999, meaning no special license is required for most destinations.
