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 6SL3000-0CE25-5AA0 is a SINAMICS S120 line reactor sized for the 55 kW Smart 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 36.0 kg.
This reactor is matched by power rating to the 55 kW Smart Line Module, so it must be paired with that module size rather than a different SLM or BLM rating in the S120 line-up; a mismatch leaves the module under- or over-reactored on the mains side. Where the drive uses a Basic Line Module instead of a Smart Line Module, the corresponding BLM-rated reactor in this series is the correct part.
