15 kW at 110% overload — what that means for your pump or fan load
The 6SL3220-3YH28-0UB0 delivers 15 kW rated power with 110% overload for 60 seconds and 100% continuous for 240 seconds — the overload profile matches variable-torque loads like centrifugal pumps and fans where the peak demand is brief, not sustained. Input range is 500-690 V 3AC +10/-20%, 47-63 Hz, so it lands on 575 V and 690 V nominal industrial grids without a transformer — common in North American 575 V and European 690 V installations.
Active production, mature lifecycle — sourcing posture
Product class B carries a return restriction — you must contact your Siemens partner for return authorisation. This is typical for configured drives; it does not affect forward supply. Sourced and quoted to order against your BOM through independent distribution.
IP20 enclosure, FSD frame — panel fit and mounting
IP20 / UL open type — the drive is intended for enclosure mounting where the cabinet door provides the environmental seal. The FSD frame size determines the gland plate and DIN-rail or backplate footprint; verify your panel depth against the 305 x 545 x 430 mm package dimensions. Operating ambient is -20 to +45 °C without derating; above that, the output current must be reduced per the drive's derating curve. The painting class is 3C2, suitable for industrial atmospheres with moderate corrosion risk.
Integrated fieldbus: MODBUS RTU and BACnet MS/TP
The drive ships with an Intelligent Operator Panel (IOP) and integrated MODBUS RTU and BACnet MS/TP — no separate communication module needed for building automation or plant-level networking. The BACnet profile covers BTL-listed objects for HVAC integration. No IO expansion module included — the base unit has the IOP and the two fieldbus ports. If you need additional digital/analog I/O, order the expansion module separately. The unfiltered variant means no built-in EMC filter; an external filter may be required for CE-compliant installations depending on cable length and environment.
RoHS and REACH compliance documentation
RoHS compliant since 01-07-06 — the drive meets the substance restrictions of the RoHS directive. REACH Article 33 duty-to-inform documentation is available per the current candidate list. Export control classification is AL: N / ECCN: N — no special licensing required for most destinations, but confirm with your trade compliance team for your specific end-use country.
