Description
About the 6SL3210-1PB13-8UL0
About the 6SL3210-1PB13-8UL0
The Siemens 6SL3210-1PB13-8UL0 is a SINAMICS G120 Power Module PM240-2 in FSA frame, rated 0.75kW low overload / 0.55kW high overload at 200-240V 1/3AC input, with an integrated braking chopper. Output current reaches 6.40A max at a 4kHz pulse frequency, unfiltered and rated IP20 without Control Unit or operating unit.
Selection Notes
This FSA-frame PM240-2 covers the 0.75kW (LO) / 0.55kW (HO) power point, the smallest rating in the PM240-2 range at 200-240V single/three-phase input, with a 4.20A rated LO current and a 6.40A maximum output current for loads with occasional 150% or 200% overload peaks. The built-in braking chopper lets a braking resistor connect directly without a separate module, and because the module is unfiltered, an external EMC filter is needed where conducted-emission limits apply. Higher power points in the same PM240-2 family step up from FSA to FSB and FSC frames.
Applications
Used as the power stage of a SINAMICS G120 modular drive together with a matching Control Unit for small pumps, fans, and conveyor motors on a 200-240V supply. Requires Control Unit firmware V4.6 or later; rated for -10 to 40C at low overload and -10 to 50C at high overload.
