The Siemens 6SL3201-0BE21-8AA0 is a braking resistor, primarily intended to manage excess energy in electrical drive systems. It features a resistance value of 75 Ω and has a constant rating power of 0.375 kW. For brief intervals, it can withstand maximum power loads reaching up to 7.5 kW with a 5% duty cycle. The component operates within a DC link voltage range of 330 to 840 V DC.
Max input current can be accommodated at 2.5 A, ensuring compatibility with various setups. A normally closed contact temperature switch is included, with a voltage rating of up to 250 V AC and a maximum current capacity of 2.5 A. The unit is enclosed in an IP20-rated casing, which provides basic protection against dust and other external elements.
In terms of dimensions, the braking resistor measures 175 mm in width, 345 mm in length, and 100 mm in height, which translates to 6.89 x 13.58 x 3.94 inches for users requiring imperial measurements. Weighing in at 2.73 kg (6.02 lbs.), this component is designed for easy handling and installation. The operating temperature range spans from -25°C to 40°C, enabling it to function effectively in diverse environmental conditions.
