VFD vs Servo Drive: Key Differences
A side-by-side comparison of VFD and servo drive motor type, feedback, dynamic response, overload rating, cost, and applications for industrial engineers.
The Siemens 6SL3130-6TE25-5AA3 is a SINAMICS S120 Smart Line Module rectifying a 3 AC 342-528 V line to a DC 600 V link, rated 55.0 kW (90 A output) with a 178.0 A / 91.0 kW short-term maximum, built in the booksize frame with a 65 kA short-circuit strength rating. Unlike a Basic Line Module, it allows regenerative braking energy to return to the line.
The Smart Line Module design lets regenerative braking energy return to the line without the sinusoidal-current front end an Active Line Module and Active Interface Module pairing provides — pick it over a Basic Line Module whenever the driven load includes overhauling or decelerating axes, and over an Active Line Module when strict line-harmonic limits are not required. At 55.0 kW rated / 91.0 kW short-term, this frame size covers driven loads up to roughly 90 A continuous; higher combined current draw calls for the next Smart Line Module frame in the same booksize range.
