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 6SL3000-0CE22-0AA0 is a SINAMICS S120 line reactor sized for the 20 kW Basic Line Module, rated for a 3-phase 380-480 V, 50/60 Hz supply. It sits ahead of the module on the mains side, limiting line current harmonics and commutation notching on the rectifier input, and weighs 5.2 kg.
This reactor is matched by power rating to the 20 kW Basic Line Module, so it must be paired with that module size rather than a different BLM or SLM rating in the S120 line-up; a mismatch leaves the module under- or over-reactored on the mains side. Where the drive uses a Smart Line Module instead of a Basic Line Module, the corresponding SLM-rated reactor in this series is the correct part.
