110 kW high overload — what the duty ratings mean for your load profile
The 6SL3210-1PE32-5AL0: This SINAMICS G120 PM240-2 power module delivers 110 kW under high overload (HO) conditions: 200% for 3 seconds, 150% for 57 seconds, 100% for 240 seconds, with ambient temperature from -20 to +50 °C. That profile handles pump starts, conveyor jams, and centrifuge spin-ups without derating the drive for the peak current. Under low overload (LO) the rating steps to 132 kW — 150% for 3 seconds, 110% for 57 seconds, 100% for 240 seconds — with ambient limited to -20 to +40 °C. Use the LO figure for constant-torque applications like fans running at steady speed where the peak demand is brief.
Built-in filter and braking chopper — panel integration savings
The integrated Class A EMC filter and built-in braking chopper eliminate two external components from the panel layout. For a 380-480 V line with a 47-63 Hz supply, the filter meets conducted emission limits for the first environment (industrial) without an add-on box. The blocksize format measures 708 x 305 x 357 mm (HxWxD) with IP20 protection — designed for enclosure mounting where the top and bottom clearance allows airflow. The packaging dimensions (745 x 469 x 385 mm) reflect the shipping box, not the unit itself.
Active production — compliance and sourcing posture
Lifecycle status is active (mature stage) — Siemens continues production with no announced end-of-life. The product class is A: a standard stock item returnable within the returns policy period. RoHS compliant since January 1, 2017, with a REACH Article 33 declaration for lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w. Export control classification is AL:N / ECCN:9N9999 — no special licensing required for most destinations. This power module ships without a Control Unit (CU) or operator panel — it is approved for CU firmware version V4.7 HF8. The CU is ordered separately and snaps onto the module interface.
