The Siemens 6SL3211-1NE17-7AL1 is a SINAMICS G120 Power Module PM230 in FSA frame size, rated for 3 kW low overload on a 380-480 V 3 AC supply. It ships without a Control Unit or operating panel — you pair it with a CU240B/E-2 or CU230P-2 controller running firmware V4.4 or higher. The integrated Class A filter handles conducted emissions for European EMC compliance, so you can skip an external filter in most panel builds.
The 3 kW low-overload rating means the drive delivers 150 % current for 3 seconds, 110 % for 57 seconds, and 100 % for 240 seconds — enough to start a loaded conveyor or pump without oversizing the frame. Ambient temperature range is 0 to +40 °C for low overload; above that you derate. The IP20 / PT protection level means it's for indoor panel mounting only — no washdown, no dust ingress protection beyond basic touch-safe enclosure.
