What the overload ratings mean for your motor
The 6SL3225-0BE33-7UA0: The PM250 delivers 37 kW under high overload (200% for 3 s, 150% for 57 s, 100% for 240 s) at 0 to +50 °C ambient — this is the rating for constant-torque loads like conveyors or extruders that need short bursts of high torque. For variable-torque applications (pumps, fans), the light overload rating is 45 kW (150% for 3 s, 110% for 57 s, 100% for 240 s) but the ambient ceiling drops to +40 °C — plan the panel ventilation around this derating step.
Physical fit and panel integration
The module measures 499 x 275 x 204 mm (H x W x D) with IP20 finger-safe protection — it mounts inside a cabinet and needs clearance above and below for airflow; the shipping box is 600 x 400 x 310 mm. It ships without a Control Unit or BOP — you order those separately (CU240E-2, CU250S-2, etc.) and plug them into the front slot.
Active production and ordering reality
Lifecycle status is active — Siemens still produces this PM250 module, so it is a current BOM line, not a legacy part.
Regulatory compliance documentation
RoHS compliant since 18 May 2016, and REACH Article 33 declares lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w — the supplier provides the declaration of compliance with the order. Export control is AL N / ECCN 9N9999, so no special license is needed for most destinations.
