250 kW at 110% — the overload profile that matters
The 6SL3220-3YE54-0CP0 delivers 250 kW rated power with a 110% overload capability for 60 seconds and 100% continuous for 240 seconds. That 110% / 60 s window is the spec that decides whether this drive holds a conveyor jam or a pump start-up without tripping — the 100% / 240 s baseline handles sustained duty cycles in fan and pump applications common in HVAC and water treatment. The integrated radio interference suppression filter for category C3 means it meets conducted emission limits for industrial power networks (second environment per EN 61800-3). No external filter needed for most industrial installations — saves a DIN-rail slot and a wiring step.
Frame size FSG — panel fit and integration
Frame size FSG with IP20 / UL open type protection — the drive is intended for enclosure mounting where the cabinet door or additional cover provides the final ingress barrier. Packaging dimensions 395 x 1185 x 608 mm give a sense of the physical footprint; the tall, narrow profile suits back-to-back cabinet layouts where vertical space is the constraint. Ambient temperature range -20 to +45 °C at full rating — if the panel ambient pushes above 45 °C, expect derating. The painting classification 3C2 (C3 moderate corrosion resistance per ISO 12944-2) means the enclosure coating handles humid or mildly aggressive industrial atmospheres without accelerated rust at the mounting feet.
Fieldbus and control — PROFIBUS DP onboard
Integrated PROFIBUS DP fieldbus — no separate communication module needed. The Intelligent Operator Panel (IOP) is included, providing local parameter access, commissioning wizards, and fault logging without a laptop. No IO expansion board is fitted as standard; the base unit carries the I/O terminals onboard. Supply voltage 380-480 V 3-phase AC +10/-20%, 47-63 Hz — covers the common 400 V and 480 V industrial grids. The wide tolerance (-20% on the low end) means it rides through brownouts down to ~304 V without dropping out, critical for process lines where an undervoltage trip stops a whole section.
Active production — sourcing posture
The product class is B (return restricted, contact Siemens partner), which means this drive ships as a standard catalog item through authorized channels; it is not a special-order or project-specific code. RoHS compliant since 01-07-06. REACH Article 33 duty to inform applies — the candidate list includes lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w, present in the solder joints and component terminations. Standard for industrial drives of this power class; no restriction on sale or installation.
