Duty ratings that define the drive envelope
The 6SL3210-1PC31-3UL0 is a SINAMICS G120 Power Module PM240-2 in blocksize format, air-cooled and 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: 30 kW continuous with 200% for 3 seconds, 150% for 57 seconds, and 100% for 240 seconds at ambient -20 to +50 °C. Under low overload it supports 37 kW continuous with 150% for 3 seconds, 110% for 57 seconds, and 100% for 240 seconds at -20 to +40 °C ambient. This overload profile means the drive handles short-duration peak torque demands typical of conveyors, pumps, and fans without oversizing the power stage. The built-in braking chopper absorbs regenerative energy from decelerating loads, eliminating the need for an external braking unit in most applications.
Physical integration and logistics
The module measures 708 x 305 x 357 mm (HxWxD) and ships in packaging dimensions of 745 x 469 x 385 mm. Protection rating is IP20, so it requires installation inside an enclosure with appropriate environmental sealing for the application. It is supplied without a Control Unit or operator panel; the drive is approved for CU firmware version V4.7 HF8. The blocksize format means it mounts directly to a backplate with standard fixings, not a DIN rail, and the power terminals accept cable lugs for the rated current.
