The 6SL3220-1YH56-0CF0: Siemens classifies this as Product class C, meaning it is manufactured or produced to order rather than held as off-the-shelf stock.
315 kW overload capability for pump and fan loads
Rated 315 kW with a 135% overload for 3 seconds or 110% for 60 seconds, and 100% for 240 seconds. This overload profile is tailored for centrifugal loads — fans and pumps that need starting torque but settle to steady-state current below the drive's continuous rating. The 500-690 VAC +10/-20% input range at 47-63 Hz lets this drive run directly on 690 V class supplies common in European and Asian industrial plants without an input step-down transformer. The wide frequency window handles weak grids or generator-fed installations.
Built-in fieldbus and EMC filter
Integrated PROFINET-PN and EtherNet/IP fieldbus interfaces mean no separate communication module is needed for most PLC architectures — the drive connects directly to the automation network via a standard RJ45 patch cable. The built-in EMC filter meets category C3 per IEC 61800-3, covering conducted emissions for industrial second-environment installations. This saves panel space and eliminates the cost of an external filter for most applications, but note that C3 filters are not suitable for residential or first-environment mains without additional mitigation.
Frame FSH, IP20, panel integration
Frame size FSH with IP20 / UL Open Type enclosure means this drive is designed for installation inside a panel or cabinet — it is not a stand-alone NEMA-rated enclosure. Top cable entry is standard; plan for adequate clearance above the drive for power and control wiring. Rated for 0 to +45 °C ambient without derating. Above 45 °C, the output current must be reduced per the Siemens derating curve — factor this into the panel cooling calculation if the cabinet internal temperature will exceed 45 °C at full load.
Compliance and substance declarations
RoHS compliant since 11 March 2020. The REACH Article 33 duty to inform applies: the product contains lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w in certain components — this must be communicated downstream in the supply chain per REACH obligations. Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) is 3A999A, with AL (A: not controlled) status for most destinations — verify country-specific controls at order time.
