The Siemens 6SL3224-0BE21-5UA0 is a SINAMICS G120 PM240 Power Module rated for 1.5 kW output with an integrated braking chopper. It takes 3-phase 380-480 VAC input and delivers 3-phase 0-380/480 VAC output, drawing 4.8 A input and delivering 4.1 A output. This is the unfiltered variant — no internal EMC filter — so it's suited for IT-grid or applications where external filtering is preferred. The 1.5 kW rating uses the high-overload duty cycle: 200% for 3 seconds, 150% for 57 seconds, 100% for 240 seconds. That means it handles a short burst of torque for starting or load spikes without derating the drive — useful for conveyors or pumps that need breakaway torque.
Rated output current of 4.1 A at 380-480 VAC is the number that governs motor sizing — not the 1.5 kW label. For a standard 4-pole induction motor at 400 V, that current typically matches a 1.5 kW motor. The integrated braking chopper handles regenerative energy from decelerating loads, so you can add an external braking resistor without an extra module. Input frequency acceptance of 50/60 Hz covers global line supplies. Ambient temperature range of -10 to +50 °C is standard for cabinet-mount drives; derate above 40 °C per the thermal curve in the manual.
