560 kW at 500-690 V — overload profile for pump and fan starts
The 6SL3220-2YH66-0CP0: Rated power 560 kW with an overload capability of 135 % for 3 seconds and 110 % for 60 seconds, with 100 % continuous for 240 seconds — this overload profile matches the starting torque and transient demands of centrifugal pumps, fans, and compressors in HVAC and water/wastewater infrastructure. The 3AC 500-690 V +10/-20 % input range at 47-63 Hz covers global medium-voltage motor ratings without an external step-down transformer, simplifying BOM for 690 V pump installations common in European and Middle Eastern water networks.
PROFIBUS DP and RFI C3 filter — panel integration constraints
Integrated PROFIBUS DP fieldbus eliminates a separate communication module for Siemens S7-300/400 or ET 200SP controllers — the drive appears as a standard PROFIdrive slave on the bus, with PZD and PKW data exchange for setpoint, status, and diagnostics. Built-in RFI suppression filter for category C3 environments means the drive meets conducted emission limits for industrial power networks (second environment) without an external filter — but C3 is not suitable for residential or public low-voltage grids without additional mitigation. IP20 / UL open type protection confines this drive to a clean, dry electrical enclosure — it is not rated for washdown or outdoor installation. The Size FSJ frame (packaging dimensions 1,200 x 1,857 x 800 mm) requires a substantial cabinet and lifting equipment for installation.
Active production, mature lifecycle — no imminent end-of-life
Product status is Active with a mature lifecycle stage — the design is stable, no phase-out or last-time-buy has been announced, and the drive remains in Siemens' standard catalog for infrastructure converters. Classified as Product class C — manufactured or produced to order, which means units are built against confirmed orders and cannot be returned for credit once produced. Plan procurement lead time accordingly; this is not a stocked shelf item.
RoHS and REACH compliance documentation
RoHS compliant since 11 March 2020 — the drive meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU for restricted substances. REACH Article 33 duty to inform applies: lead (CAS-No. 7439-92-1) is present above 0.1% w/w in certain components, which must be declared in the supply chain documentation. Export Control Regulations: AL N / ECCN EAR99H — no special export license required for most destinations, but EAR99H indicates potential anti-terrorism controls for certain end-users or end-uses. Confirm end-use declaration with your compliance team.
