Active production — what that means for procurement
The 6SL3210-1PH22-0AL0 is listed as Active in Siemens' current product portfolio, so it remains a standard catalog item — no end-of-life notice or last-time-buy clock to manage. The lifecycle stage is marked mature, which typically means the design is stable and the supply chain is well-established, but it also signals that a successor platform may eventually appear.
Duty ratings that decide the motor match
This PM240-2 power module delivers 15 kW under low overload (LO) conditions — 150% for 3 s, 110% for 57 s, 100% for 240 s — with an ambient limit of 40 °C. Under high overload (HO) it's rated 11 kW at 200% for 3 s, 150% for 57 s, 100% for 240 s, with ambient up to 50 °C. The built-in braking chopper handles regenerative energy from fast deceleration without an external resistor — useful for centrifuge or unwinder duty.
Built-in filter and supply voltage range
The module includes an integrated Class A EMC filter, which meets conducted emission limits for industrial environments (second environment per IEC 61800-3). Input voltage is 3-phase 500-690 V AC +10/-20% at 47-63 Hz, covering common 575 V and 690 V industrial supplies. The filter is sized for the drive's full rated current, so no external filter is needed for standard installations — but a Class B filter may be required for residential or light-commercial zones. The built-in braking chopper is rated for the drive's internal DC bus, with the threshold set at the factory for the 500-690 V input range.
Compliance and documentation trail
RoHS compliant since January 1, 2017, with a REACH Article 33 declaration for lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w in certain components. Export control classification is AL: N / ECCN: 9N9999, meaning no special license is typically required for most industrial destinations. The product class is C — manufactured or produced to order, which means Siemens builds this against a confirmed order rather than holding finished stock. The packaging dimensions are 495 x 356 x 300 mm, and the unit ships as one piece. The FSD frame size (472 x 200 x 237 mm) determines the enclosure cutout and gland plate layout.
