What this drive delivers
The 6SL3210-5BE31-8CV0 is a SINAMICS V20 basic converter rated 18.5 kW at 380-480 V 3-phase, with 150% overload for 60 seconds — enough headroom to start a loaded conveyor or pump without tripping on inrush. Small output overload is 22 kW at 110% for 60 seconds, so the drive can handle short bursts above nameplate for applications like crushers or mixers. Built-in I/O includes 4 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, 2 analog inputs, and 1 analog output — enough for basic speed control and feedback loops without an expansion module. Fieldbus is USS/MODBUS RTU with built-in BOP (Basic Operator Panel), so commissioning and parameter adjustments happen locally or over the bus.
Lifecycle and compliance
RoHS compliant since July 2010, but REACH Article 33 requires disclosure of lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w — the drive contains lead in certain components, so the declaration is needed for EU shipments.
Sourcing and ordering
Product class C means this unit is manufactured or produced to order — it cannot be returned for credit, so confirm the BOM line before committing. Packaged singly, dimensions 209 x 243.5 x 264.5 mm (WxHxD) — fits standard 19-inch cabinet depth.
