Power module for a 1.5 kW motor on 400 V three-phase
The Siemens 6SL3210-1PE16-1UL0 is a SINAMICS G120 Power Module PM240-2 in frame size FSA, rated for 1.5 kW under high overload (HO) and 2.2 kW under low overload (LO) on a 380-480 VAC three-phase supply. It ships without a Control Unit or operator panel — you pair it with a CU2xx-2 series controller separately. The HO duty cycle is the one that matters for a conveyor or pump on a 40 °C ambient: 200 % current for 3 seconds, 150 % for 57 seconds, then 100 % continuous for 240 seconds. That gives you the starting torque margin without oversizing the frame. The LO curve (150 % for 3 s, 110 % for 57 s) applies when the ambient stays at 40 °C and the load profile is less demanding. Built-in braking chopper means you can add an external resistor for vertical loads or fast deceleration — no separate chopper module needed. The module is unfiltered, so plan for external line reactor or dV/dt filter if the motor cable run exceeds 50 m or the supply has significant harmonics.
Mounting and integration notes
FSA footprint: 196 mm high, 73 mm wide, 165 mm deep. IP20 protection — panel-mount only, no washdown rating. The width is the tight dimension; it fits a standard 200 mm deep enclosure with room for the DC-link busbars and motor cables. Mounting holes on the backplate, screw-fixed, not DIN-rail snap-on. Power terminals accept up to 4 mm² conductors. The 24 V DC control supply comes from the Control Unit via the internal interface — no separate 24 V feed to the power module itself.
