The Siemens 6SE3216-8CB40 is a compact drive belonging to the MICROMASTER range. It is designed to handle both single-phase and three-phase input, operating within 208-240V AC, with an input frequency of either 50 or 60 Hz. The unit can output a three-phase voltage adjustable from 0 to 208/240V AC, with a maximum frequency setting of 650 Hz. This model is capable of delivering a consistent torque output rated at 1.5 kW, which is approximately equivalent to 2 horsepower.
The drive exhibits a significant overload capacity, allowing for 150% of its rated output for up to 60 seconds and 200% for short bursts of 3 seconds. The physical dimensions of the drive are 184 mm high, 149 mm wide, and 172 mm deep, leading to a total weight of approximately 2.4 kg. It has an IP20 protection rating, indicating that it is appropriate for environments where it won't be exposed to dust or moisture.
In terms of thermal management, the 6SE3216-8CB40 utilizes natural convection cooling, promoting efficient temperature regulation during operation. The device can function effectively within an ambient temperature range of 0 to 50°C, ensuring reliability in moderately controlled environments. The input current requirements are 14.4 A for single-phase configurations and 8.3 A when operating in three-phase mode. The nominal output current is rated at 6.6 A.
Control of the motor is achieved through vector control methodology, ensuring that operations are performed with precision. The integrated display keypad facilitates easy parameter setting and monitoring for users. Communication with other devices can be achieved via the USS protocol for serial communication. It is important to note that the 6SE3216-8CB40 is not compliant with RoHS standards, indicating that it may include materials restricted under that directive.
