VFD for Compressors: Selection Guide
How to select and size a VFD for screw, reciprocating and centrifugal compressors, covering overload rating, turndown limits and energy savings.
The Siemens 6SL3000-0CE15-0AA0 is a line reactor sized for the 5 kW SINAMICS S120 Smart Line Module, matched to a 3-phase 380-480 V, 50/60 Hz mains supply. It sits between the mains and the Smart Line Module to limit line-side harmonic and inrush current, and its 4.4 kg mass matches the Smart Line Module's mounting footprint on the same infeed.
Match this reactor to the 5 kW Smart Line Module rating it is built for — line reactors in the S120 line-up are sized per Smart Line Module power class, so a reactor built for a different kW rating will not meet the same impedance target on this module.
Installed ahead of the SINAMICS S120 Smart Line Module in modular drive line-ups to reduce mains-side harmonic and inrush current and support the drive's EMC/harmonic compliance at the infeed.
