Power Module for SINAMICS G120 — 3.0 kW High Overload
The Siemens 6SL3224-0BE23-0UA0 is a SINAMICS G120 PM240 power module, unfiltered, with an integrated braking chopper. It is rated for 380-480 V 3 AC ±10%, 47-63 Hz, and delivers 3.0 kW under high overload conditions: 200% for 3 seconds, 150% for 57 seconds, 100% for 240 seconds. Ambient temperature range is -10 to +50 °C. The module is IP20 protected, measures 270 x 153 x 165 mm (HxWxD), frame size FSB, and ships without a Control Unit or BOP.
The high-overload profile is the key selection parameter: 200% for 3 seconds means this module handles short-duration peak torque for applications like crushers or conveyors that need breakaway torque. The 150% for 57 seconds covers extended acceleration or heavy load pickup. The 100% continuous rating at 240 seconds defines the duty cycle — the module can run at full rated load indefinitely, but the overload capability resets after that 240-second window. The FSB frame size (270 x 153 x 165 mm) determines the DIN-rail or mounting-plate footprint and the required clearance for the integrated braking chopper's heat dissipation.
Integration Notes
This power module requires a separate Control Unit (CU) and Basic Operator Panel (BOP) to function — it is not a standalone drive. The unfiltered variant means an external line filter may be needed for EMC compliance depending on the installation environment. The integrated braking chopper handles regenerative energy from decelerating loads; an external braking resistor must be added for vertical loads or short deceleration profiles. Mount in a cabinet with adequate airflow; the IP20 rating does not protect against dust ingress over time in dirty environments.
