Sizing the line reactor to a 16 kW Smart Line Module
The Siemens 6SL5100-0EE21-6AD0 sits in the SINAMICS S220 line-reactor family and is sized for a Smart Line Module drawing 16 kW from a 380-480 V 3 AC supply. Booksize D type format — the reactor bolts into the same cabinet footprint as the line module, so no extra panel real estate is needed beyond the standard SINAMICS mounting pattern.
Where this reactor earns its place in the cabinet
A line reactor on the input of a Smart Line Module does one job: it tames the harmonic current drawn from the mains so the upstream transformer and cable don't absorb the switching noise the IGBT rectifier generates. At 16 kW and a 380-480 V 3 AC feed, the unit is sized for the same class of cabinet the S220 booksize line is designed around — pumps, fans, conveyors, and extruder line sections in industrial-automation panels where clean DC bus behavior matters more than regeneration.
