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 6SL3000-0CE23-6AA0 is a SINAMICS S120 line reactor sized for the 36 kW Smart Line Module, rated for a 3-phase 380-480 V, 50/60 Hz supply. It is a line-side accessory, not a standalone drive component, and is selected to match the power rating of its paired Smart Line Module rather than sold with its own independent current rating. The reactor weighs 18.0 kg and is manufactured in China.
This reactor is matched specifically to the 36 kW Smart Line Module in the SINAMICS S120 modular drive system; select the reactor rated for the Smart Line Module's power rather than the connected motor power. It sits on the line side ahead of the Smart Line Module to limit inrush current and reduce line-side harmonics before the AC supply reaches the rectifier stage.
Used on SINAMICS S120 modular multi-axis drive systems where a Smart Line Module supplies the DC link for one or more Motor Modules. The line reactor protects the Smart Line Module's input rectifier from line disturbances and reduces the harmonic current fed back into the plant supply.
