The 6SL3220-3YH48-0CP0 is a SINAMICS G120X drive rated 132 kW at 500-690 V 3AC ±10%, 47-63 Hz, with an overload capability of 110% for 60 seconds and 100% for 240 seconds. That 110% ceiling for a full minute means it handles the locked-rotor inrush of a large centrifugal pump or the breakaway torque of a belt-driven fan without tripping on the I²t limit. The 100% continuous rating for 240 seconds is the thermal settling time after the overload event — the drive self-heals before the next start cycle. The voltage range is 500-690 V 3AC, not the common 400 V distribution found in most plants. This drive is sized for 690 V industrial grids — mining conveyors, marine propulsion, or large HVAC installations where the step-down transformer feeds a 690 V bus. The input tolerance of +10/-20% covers the sag during a downstream fault without dropping the DC bus.
Frame size FSF and IP20 — what the enclosure tells the panel builder
Frame size FSF is the largest in the G120X family. The packaging dimensions of 400 x 780 x 584 mm confirm this is a cabinet-mount drive, not a panel-mount microdrive. The IP20 / UL open type rating means it requires an enclosure with a minimum of NEMA 1 protection if installed in a non-clean environment — the drive itself is not sealed against dust ingress, so the cabinet door gasket and filtered ventilation are on the panel builder. The painting class is 3C2 per the listing, which provides corrosion protection for industrial atmospheres with moderate humidity and chemical exposure. For coastal or chemical plant installations, this coating grade is adequate provided the cabinet maintains the IP20 boundary. The ambient temperature range of -20 to +45 °C is the operating window without derating; above 45 °C the output current must be reduced per the G120X derating curve, which is typical for VFDs in non-conditioned industrial spaces.
PROFIBUS DP and the Intelligent Operator Panel — commissioning without a laptop
The drive ships with an integrated Intelligent Operator Panel (IOP) and PROFIBUS DP fieldbus. The IOP provides a local display for parameter access, fault logging, and commissioning wizards — no laptop required for basic setup. The PROFIBUS DP interface is built in, not a plug-in option, so the drive appears as a standard PROFIBUS slave on the network. Cycle time on PROFIBUS at 12 Mbaud is typically under 2 ms for a single drive, adequate for coordinated pump control or conveyor interlocking. There is no IO expansion module listed on this variant. The IOP handles local start/stop and speed reference via the keypad; all remote control passes through PROFIBUS. For applications requiring hardwired digital or analog I/O beyond the standard terminals, an optional IO expansion board would need to be ordered separately.
EMC compliance — C3 filter means industrial mains only
The integrated radio interference suppression filter is rated for category C3, which means the drive is compliant with conducted emissions limits for industrial power networks (second environment per IEC 61800-3). It is not suitable for residential or public low-voltage grids without additional external filtering. The C3 filter handles the switching noise from the IGBT stage at the carrier frequency, keeping the conducted emissions below the limits for industrial zones where the supply transformer is dedicated to the plant. RoHS compliance is declared since 01-07-06, and REACH Article 33 information is available on request.
