560 kW at 690 V — overload capacity for pump and fan starting torque
The 6SL3220-2YH66-1CP0: Rated 560 kW at 135% overload for 3 seconds, or 110% for 60 seconds, with 100% continuous for 240 seconds — this overload profile matches the starting torque requirements of centrifugal pumps and fans with high inertia impellers, where the drive must break away the load without tripping on overcurrent. The 3AC 500-690V +10/-20% input range covers 525V, 575V, and 690V nominal grids without an external step-down transformer — common in North American 575V and European 690V industrial installations.
Built-in fieldbus and I/O — one less gateway to spec
Integrated PROFIBUS DP fieldbus interface and IO expansion mean the drive connects directly to a PROFIBUS DP control network without an external gateway module — saves a DIN-rail slot and reduces commissioning points of failure. The Basic Operator Panel (BOP) provides local parameter access and fault diagnosis without needing a laptop or software tool — useful during commissioning and for on-site troubleshooting by maintenance electricians.
Cabinet integration — IP20 means enclosure required
IP20 / UL open type protection means the drive must be installed inside a cabinet with a minimum IP54 enclosure to meet washdown or outdoor requirements — the drive itself is not rated for direct exposure to dust or moisture.
Active production with mature lifecycle — no imminent EOL
Lifecycle status is active and marked as 'mature' — the SINAMICS G120X platform is a stable, long-running product line with no announced end-of-life. This matters for multi-year project planning where spares availability and firmware continuity are required. Product class C means this unit is manufactured to order — not a stocked shelf item. Availability is confirmed per RFQ, with lead time quoted against the specific BOM quantity and delivery window.
EMC compliance and substance reporting
Built-in RFI suppression filter for category C3 on the 3AC 500-690V input means the drive meets conducted emission limits for industrial second-environment installations (EN 61800-3) — no external filter needed for most industrial sites, but a C3 filter is not sufficient for residential or first-environment connections without additional filtering. Export Control Classification: AL: N / ECCN: EAR99H — no special export license required for most destinations, but EAR99H indicates it is subject to anti-terrorism controls and may require end-use certification for certain countries.
