SINAMICS S120Siemens 6SL3120-1TE15-0AD0 SINAMICS S120 Single Motor Module 5A 400V Booksize D-Type Drive Module
SINAMICS S120 Single Motor Module, 5.0A / 2.7kW, 3-ph 400V output, 510-720V DC link, Booksize D-Type.
Description
About the 6SL3120-1TE15-0AD0
About the 6SL3120-1TE15-0AD0
The Siemens 6SL3120-1TE15-0AD0 is a SINAMICS S120 Single Motor Module in Booksize D-Type frame, rated 5.0 A (IN) output at 3-phase 400 V from a 510-720 V DC link, with a base-load current IH of 4.3 A and 15 A peak (Imax). It supports Extended Safety Integrated functions and ships with the DRIVE-CLiQ cable included.
Selection Notes
The 5.0 A rated current (IN) and 4.3 A base-load current (IH) size this module for motors in roughly the 2.3-2.7 kW class depending on duty; the 15 A Imax gives headroom for short overload peaks but is not a continuous rating. Output frequency capability differs by control mode — 650 Hz under servo control versus 300 Hz under vector control — so the control mode selected on the paired Control Unit affects the top speed this module can deliver to a high-speed spindle or servo motor. D-Type Booksize frame and the 510-720 V DC link mean it shares the same DC bus and cooling channel as other Booksize S120 modules in the same line-up.
Applications
Single-axis motor control within a modular SINAMICS S120 Booksize drive line-up, suited to applications needing high output frequency such as spindle or high-speed servo axes under servo control, or standard induction-motor axes under vector or V/f control on the same DC bus.
