What this PM240-2 delivers on a conveyor or pump line
This is the 6SL3210-1PE28-8AL0, a SINAMICS G120 Power Module in the PM240-2 blocksize format. It comes with the Class A EMC filter and braking chopper already built into the frame — no external filter bracket to find panel space for, and the chopper handles deceleration energy from a fast-stopping conveyor without a separate DC-bus braking unit. On high overload (HO) duty it delivers 37 kW continuous, with a 200% overload for 3 seconds and 150% for 57 seconds, all within a -20 to +50 °C ambient. That 200% peak is what you need for a crusher start or a loaded belt breakaway — the drive doesn't trip on the inrush. Switch to low overload (LO) and the continuous rating climbs to 45 kW, but the ambient ceiling drops to +40 °C. The overload profile is 150% for 3 seconds and 110% for 57 seconds. Pick your duty cycle before you mount it — the HO vs LO choice changes both the power budget and the cooling requirement in the panel.
The module measures 551 x 275 x 237 mm (H x W x D) and carries IP20 protection — that means it lives inside a panel or enclosure, not out on the plant floor. The blocksize format uses a standard footprint that aligns with the G120 frame sizes, so swapping a smaller PM240-2 up to this rating keeps the same mounting hole pattern and bus-bar layout. It ships without a Control Unit or operator panel — you supply the CU (e.g. CU240E-2 or CU250S-2) and the BOP/IOP. The power module is approved for CU firmware version V4.7 HF8, so confirm the CU firmware matches before commissioning. The built-in Class A filter means it meets EN 61800-3 Category C2 conducted emissions for the first environment — no add-on filter needed for most industrial mains.
Lifecycle and compliance — what the record shows
RoHS compliance dates from 01-01-17, and the REACH Article 33 declaration notes lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w in one or more components. The export control classification is AL: N / ECCN: 9N9999, which keeps it out of the EAR-controlled list for most destinations.
