500 kW at 690 V — overload profile for pump and fan starting
The 6SL3220-2YH64-1CB0: Rated power is 500 kW with a 135% overload for 3 seconds and 110% for 60 seconds, 100% for 240 seconds — this matches the starting torque curve of centrifugal pumps and fans where the breakaway torque is low but the inertia keeps the drive in overload during ramp-up. Input voltage range is 3AC 500-690 V +10/-20% at 47-63 Hz, covering the common 575 V and 690 V industrial mains without an external step-down transformer. The RFI suppression filter is category C3, meaning it meets conducted emission limits for industrial environments but not residential — install with an external EMC filter if the supply shares a low-voltage distribution with domestic loads.
FSJ frame, IP20 — panel integration constraints
Size FSJ frame with IP20 / UL open type protection: the drive is not sealed against dust ingress, so it requires a clean, ventilated enclosure. Ambient temperature range is 0 to +45 °C; above 45 °C derate the output current per the SINAMICS G120X manual. Packaging dimensions are 1,200 x 1,857 x 800 mm — the drive ships on a pallet; plan for a fork truck at receiving and a panel door swing that clears the FSJ depth. Product class C means this unit is manufactured to order and cannot be returned or re-used — confirm the BOM line before committing the PO.
Integrated fieldbus and operator panel
The drive ships with a Basic Operator Panel (BOP) for local parameter access and an IO expansion module — no separate commissioning tool is required for basic setup. Fieldbus is integrated: MODBUS RTU, BACnet MS/TP, and USS on the same port — select the protocol via parameter; no add-on communication module is needed for building automation or SCADA connectivity.
Active production — compliance documentation
RoHS compliance is confirmed since March 2020. REACH Article 33 declares lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w — the drive contains lead in certain components; this does not affect normal operation or installation but must be declared in the supply chain documentation. Export control classification is AL: N / ECCN: EAR99H — no special license is required for most industrial end-uses, but the buyer's own export compliance check should confirm the destination and end-user.
