Duty ratings that set the motor match
The 6SL3210-1PE23-8UL0: Rated for high-overload (HO) duty at 15 kW with a 200% current capability for 3 seconds, 150% for 57 seconds, and 100% for 240 seconds — this is the cycle that drives a pump or fan through a starting transient without tripping. Low-overload (LO) duty at 18.5 kW offers 150% for 3 seconds, 110% for 57 seconds — sized for constant-torque conveyors or compressors where the overload window is shorter. The built-in braking chopper handles deceleration energy for loads that stop faster than the natural coast-down, saving an external resistor module and the associated panel wiring.
Regulatory and compliance documentation
RoHS compliant since 01-01-17, and carries a REACH Art. 33 disclosure for lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w — this is the documentation baseline for cross-border shipments and end-customer environmental reporting. Export Control Classification: AL N / ECCN 9N9999 — no special license required for most industrial destinations.
Physical integration — panel and shipping fit
Blocksize FSD format: 472 x 200 x 237 mm (H x W x D), IP20 enclosure — mounts directly into a standard IP20 cabinet with adequate clearance above and below for airflow. Shipping dimensions 495 x 356 x 300 mm; the module ships without a Control Unit or operator panel — those are ordered separately based on the fieldbus and HMI requirements.
