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 6SL3100-0EE21-6AA0 is a SINAMICS S120 line reactor sized for the 16 kW Combi Line Module, rated for a 3-phase AC input of 380-480 V at 50/60 Hz. It has screw-type terminals accepting 10.00 mm squared conductors, measures 219 x 176 x 120 mm, and weighs 10.7 kg.
This reactor is matched to the 16 kW Smart Line Module frame size, not selected independently by current rating - pairing it with a different SLM power rating in the same Combi Line Module family requires the corresponding line reactor sized for that module. The 380-480 V input range covers standard three-phase supplies without a separate low-voltage variant, and the screw-type terminals with 10 mm squared conductor capacity set the maximum field wiring gauge for the installation.
