What the 400 kW rating means for a pump or fan load
The 6SL3220-3YH60-1CP0 is a SINAMICS G120X drive built for HVAC, water, and wastewater infrastructure — 400 kW continuous output with a 135% overload for 3 seconds or 110% for 60 seconds, and 100% for 240 seconds. That overload profile matches the starting and short-duration surge demands of centrifugal pumps and fans, not constant-torque conveyors. It runs on a 3-phase 500-690 VAC supply, 47-63 Hz, with a built-in RFI suppression filter for category C3 environments. That means it's ready for direct connection to a 690 V industrial grid without an external line reactor for conducted emissions compliance in a typical industrial setting.
Active production — no obsolescence worry
This drive is listed as active in production with a mature lifecycle stage. It's not a phase-out or last-time-buy item — you can spec it into a new project or order a spare for an existing line without a looming end-of-life date. The product class is C — manufactured or produced to order, which means it's not a stock item sitting on a shelf.
Enclosure, fieldbus, and compliance details
The drive comes in a size FSH enclosure rated IP20 / UL open type — it's designed for installation inside a clean, dry electrical room or cabinet, not for direct outdoor or washdown exposure. The packaging dimensions are 800 x 1,870 x 600 mm, so plan for a large footprint on the panel floor or mounting plate. It ships with an intelligent operator panel and IO expansion board, plus integrated PROFIBUS DP fieldbus. That means you can commission it locally via the keypad and tie it into a legacy PROFIBUS network without an extra gateway module. RoHS compliant since March 2020, and it carries a REACH Article 33 notification for lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w. Export control is AL N / ECCN EAR99H — no special license required for most industrial destinations.
