What this PM230 power module is and what it needs
The 6SL3223-0DE23-0BA1 is a SINAMICS G120P Power Module PM230 in frame size FSA, rated 3 kW for low-overload duty (150% for 3 s, 110% for 57 s, 100% continuous). It accepts 380-480 V three-phase AC at 47-63 Hz and carries an integrated Class B EMC filter, so you can skip an external filter on most European and UL-type installations. The IP55 / UL Type 12 enclosure means it handles washdown and dust — suitable for pump, fan, and conveyor drives in food-and-bev or HVAC lines where the drive mounts near the motor, not in a clean cabinet. This power module ships without a Control Unit or operator panel. It is released for the CU230P-2 Control Unit with firmware V4.3.2 or higher. The ambient temperature range for low overload is -10 to +40 °C; derate above that. Dimensions are 460 x 154 x 249 mm (HxWxD).
Key ratings and what they mean for fit
The low-overload rating of 3 kW at 150% for 3 seconds means this drive handles a pump start or a light conveyor breakaway without tripping — but if your load requires sustained overload above 110% for longer than 57 seconds, step up to the next frame size. The integrated Class B filter attenuates conducted emissions to EN 61800-3 Category C2 limits, so it passes most European EMC compliance checks without an add-on filter. The IP55 / UL Type 12 enclosure lets you mount this drive directly on a wall or machine frame in a wet or dusty area. No separate cabinet needed for most indoor washdown zones. The FSA frame size is the smallest in the PM230 family — keep that in mind for panel layout if you are retrofitting into an existing enclosure.
