630 kW HVAC/water drive — what the ratings mean on site
The 6SL3220-2YH68-1CF0 is a SINAMICS G120X infrastructure converter rated 630 kW at 3AC 500-690 V, 47-63 Hz, designed for heavy HVAC, water, and wastewater pump/fan loads. The overload capability — 135% for 3 seconds, 110% for 60 seconds, 100% for 240 seconds — means it handles starting surges and short-term process spikes without oversizing the drive. The IP20 / UL open type enclosure suits indoor panel mounting in electrical rooms or MCC line-ups; the Size FSJ frame requires a substantial backplane and gland plate for the incoming power and motor cables.
Fieldbus and control integration
PROFINET PN and Ethernet IP are integrated on the base unit — no additional communication module needed. The Basic Operator Panel (BOP) provides local parameter access and diagnostics; the IO expansion covers the typical digital/analog I/O for pump/fan sequencing and feedback. The drive ships with an RFI suppression filter for category C3, meeting conducted emission limits for industrial environments on the 500-690 V supply.
Sourcing and lifecycle — active, built to order
Siemens lists the 6SL3220-2YH68-1CF0 as active (mature lifecycle stage). Product class C means it is manufactured to order — not a stocked shelf item. Quantities are quoted against the BOM; lead time and volume pricing confirmed at RFQ. Export control classification is AL:N / ECCN:EAR99H, so no special export licensing is required for most destinations. RoHS compliant since 2020-03-11; REACH Article 33 disclosure notes lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w in certain components — factor this into end-of-life compliance reporting.
