The Siemens 6SL3210-1KE18-8AB1 is a sophisticated variable-frequency drive designed for managing three-phase AC power. It can handle various operational conditions with an input voltage tolerance of ±10% across a range between 380 and 480 volts. Supporting 47 to 63 Hz frequency means this drive is compatible with standard electrical systems.
When operating under specific conditions, the unit provides a rated output power of 4 kW in low overload mode and 3 kW in a high overload scenario. The rated output voltage complies with IEC and NEC standards, allowing for a specified output of 400V or 480V, respectively. This drive features two different output frequency capabilities: it allows vector control to operate up to 240 Hz and V/f control to reach 550 Hz.
Its maximum output current is rated at 14.6 A, and its power factor ranges from 0.70 to 0.85. Communication is facilitated through protocols such as USS and MODBUS RTU, ensuring comprehensive compatibility with various automation systems. Additionally, the device integrates a class A filter, enhancing overall performance. The drive includes six standard digital inputs, complemented by a single fail-safe input, catering to safety-critical applications. Overall, it maintains an impressive efficiency rating of 97%, making it an effective option for automation and control.
