Why These Parts Are Catalog-Neighbors
- All are Siemens SINAMICS G120X drives in the same chassis-mount, box-encapsulated form factor.
- 6SL32203YC201UB0 differs in rated output (23.7 A vs 29.7 A) and motor power rating (4 kW vs 5.5 kW).
- 6SL32203YC241UB0 steps up to 7.5 kW and 37.8 A output within the same FSC/FSD frame hierarchy.
- 6SL32203YC261UB0 represents the next power tier at 11 kW and 57 A output, sharing the same mechanical form factor and temperature range.
Selection Considerations
- Rated output current (29.7 A) must match or exceed the full-load current of the target AC motor at the specified voltage.
- The 5.5 kW rating corresponds to FSC frame size; verify physical mounting footprint and clearance in the cabinet layout.
- Operating temperature window of 20°C–45°C is relatively narrow; consider whether cabinet ventilation or ambient conditions can sustain operation within this band.
- This series targets industrial motor control with integrated G120X system compatibility; confirm that peripheral control interface modules (CU, TM) are ordered separately if required.
FAQ
What is the full-load current capability of the 6SL32203YC221UB0? 29.7 A rated output current.
Does this drive include an integral operator panel? The product listing indicates box encapsulation without an integral operator panel; HMI integration would require a separate CU or external terminal.
What mounting style does the 6SL32203YC221UB0 use? Chassis mount.
