500 kW HVAC/water drive — what the rating means on a real line
The 6SL3220-2YE64-0CF0: This SINAMICS G120X is rated for 500 kW output with 135% overload for 3 seconds or 110% for 60 seconds, and 100% continuous for 240 seconds — the overload profile is tailored for centrifugal loads like pumps and fans where the peak torque demand is brief during start-up or a jam. The drive accepts 3-phase 380-480 VAC +10/-20% at 47-63 Hz, covering the common global low-voltage industrial supply without a step-down transformer in most regions.
Fieldbus and I/O — what ships on the board
Integrated PROFINET-PN and Ethernet/IP fieldbus are standard on this order code — no option card needed for the two most common industrial Ethernet protocols in HVAC and water/wastewater plants. The drive ships with a Basic Operator Panel (BOP) for local parameter access and commissioning; the I/O expansion slot is empty, so if you need additional digital or analog I/O beyond the base board, order the matching I/O module separately.
Compliance and export control — what the documentation covers
RoHS compliant since 11-03-20, with a REACH Article 33 notification for lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w — the lead is in the solder joints and power semiconductor die attach, not a surface coating. Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) is 3A999A under US regulations, and the German AL is N — this is a dual-use industrial drive not subject to stringent missile-technology controls, but the 3A999A classification means the exporter must confirm the end-user is not on a denied-party list. The integrated EMC filter is Category C3 per the description, which means it is intended for industrial power networks with a dedicated transformer or a separate supply — not for direct connection to a residential or public low-voltage grid without additional filtering.
The product status is Active per the manufacturer — this is a current-production SINAMICS G120X variant, not a legacy or discontinued line. The product class is C, meaning it is manufactured or produced to order — it is not a stock-keeping item held on a shelf; lead time and pricing are confirmed at RFQ against the specific BOM quantity. Packaging dimensions are 1,000 x 1,800 x 900 mm — plan for a pallet-sized shipment; the unit is not a small cabinet drive.
