What the 11 kW low-overload rating means for a pump or fan drive
The 6SL3223-0DE31-1AG1: The 11 kW low-overload (LO) rating on this SINAMICS G120P PM230 power module means it delivers 150% current for 3 seconds, 110% for 57 seconds, and 100% for 240 seconds — a profile that matches variable-torque loads like centrifugal pumps and fans where the peak demand is brief during start-up or a momentary surge. The ambient temperature ceiling is -10 to +40 °C at LO duty; above that the output must be derated per the manufacturer's curve.
Enclosure, filter, and integration into a washdown environment
IP55 / UL Type 12 protection means the drive is sealed against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets — suitable for food-and-bev washdown zones or outdoor installations where a standard IP20 drive would need a separate cabinet. The integrated Class A EMC filter is already fitted inside the enclosure, so no external filter module is needed for compliance with EN 61800-3 Category C2 (first environment) in most installations. Dimensions are 620 x 230 x 249 mm (HxWxD) — the height is the dominant axis for gland-plate clearance and wall-mount spacing.
Compliance documentation and substance declarations
RoHS compliant since 01-07-06, with a REACH Article 33 disclosure for lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w in certain component materials. Export control classification is AL: N / ECCN: N — no special license required for cross-border shipment to most destinations.
