The Siemens 6SL3357-3AG35-8AR8 is a replacement IPD (Interface & Protection) card for the water-cooled (CuNi) Active Line Module in the SINAMICS S120 drive family. It's rated for 630 kW at 500-690 V three-phase AC, 50/60 Hz, and handles 575 A in overload operation at 200% reactive current — meaning it's built for regenerative or high-dynamic applications where the line module must sink reactive power without tripping.
This card is a field-replaceable spare for the water-cooled Active Line Module — not a standalone drive. It plugs into the module's control section and handles the interface between the drive controller and the power stage. The 575 A overload rating at 200% reactive current means it's sized for applications that demand high transient reactive support, like large conveyors or test stands with regenerative braking.
