Drive selection memo — SINAMICS G120 PM240, 5.5 kW heavy duty
The Siemens 6SL3224-0BE25-5AA0 is a SINAMICS G120 PM240 Power Module rated for 3-phase 380…480 V AC input at 18 A. It carries an integrated Class A EMC filter and a built-in braking chopper, so you can dump regenerative energy into an external resistor without adding a separate chopper module. In high-overload duty (heavy industrial) it delivers 5.5 kW with a 200% overload for 3 seconds, 150% for 57 seconds, and 100% continuous over 240 seconds at ambient up to 50 °C. In low-overload (variable-torque) it handles 7.5 kW at 150% for 3 seconds, 110% for 57 seconds, and 100% continuous at up to 40 °C. No Control Unit or BOP is included — this is the power stage only, so budget for a CU240x-2 and the operator panel if you need local control.
