Siemens 6SL32301YC220UP0 SINAMICS G120X Variable Frequency Drive
Overview
The catalog identity resolves to a Siemens SINAMICS G120X chassis-mount variable frequency drive (VFD) in the FSC frame size, rated 5.5 kW for 200–240 V single-phase or three-phase operation. The MPN prefix 6SL32301YC22 places this in the Siemens ordering-code family for G120X power modules—the 0P0 suffix in 6SL32301YC220UP0 encodes the frame size and potentially a firmware or integration variant, which must be confirmed against the official Siemens configurator or datasheet before substitution decisions.
The JSON fields document: 29.7 A output current, AC motor compatibility, chassis mount (FSC), operating temperature 20 °C to 45 °C, and ROHS3 compliance. The catalog title also mentions IP20 but the field does not appear explicitly in the spec keys—this detail should be verified in the product data sheet.

⚠ Verification required — the supplied fields do not include: input voltage range and number of phases, output frequency range, DC bus voltage or braking transistor presence, communication protocol (PROFINET, USS, Modbus, etc.), safety function (STO, SS1, SLS) availability, IP degree (the title mentions IP20 but no spec key confirms it), EMC filter presence, and overload capability (heavy-duty vs normal-duty current ratings). Selection must not proceed on electrical ratings until these are verified against the official Siemens data sheet for 6SL32301YC220UP0.
Ordering-Code / Family Context (verify on datasheet)
Siemens industrial drive MPNs follow a structured code. For 6SL32301YC220UP0:
- 6SL3: Siemens SINAMICS power module prefix.
- 2301Y: Internal base-family code.
- C22: Power class: C = chassis module, 22 ≈ 5.5 kW at 240 V.
- 0P0: Frame size (P = FSC in this case) and variant slot; the trailing
0can indicate firmware level or integration package.
The alternates show three suffix variants (UP0, UF0, UB0) that share identical primary ratings but may differ in firmware, onboard options, or regional stocking codes. Do not assume drop-in interchangeability across these suffixes without datasheet confirmation.
Integration / Installation Notes
The FSC chassis-mount form factor implies the unit is installed on a back plate or cabinet mounting rail inside an enclosure. The JSON does not specify: enclosure IP rating, terminal torque values, grounding requirements, available communication module slots, or whether a control unit (CU) ships as a separate item or is integrated. These details are required by the electrical designer before drawing up the installation layout.
The operating temperature ceiling of 45 °C is relatively low compared to general-purpose industrial drives; thermal management of the enclosure must be addressed in the system design.
Similar Catalog Parts
The similarity search returned eight additional Siemens G120X drives with the same series and mounting type. The primary differentiators are power rating and output current.
| MPN | Output Current | Power Rating (title) | Frame |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6SL32301YC220UP0 | 29.7 A | 5.5 kW (FSC) | FSC (primary) |
| 6SL32301YC220UF0 | 29.7 A | 5.5 kW (FSC) | FSC |
| 6SL32301YC220UB0 | 29.7 A | 5.5 kW (FSC) | FSC |
| 6SL32301YC221UP0 | 29.7 A | 5.5 kW (FSC) | FSC |
| 6SL32301YC221UF0 | 29.7 A | 5.5 kW (FSC) | FSC |
| 6SL32301YC221UB0 | 29.7 A | 5.5 kW (FSC) | FSC |
| 6SL32301YC200UP0 | 23.7 A | 4 kW (FSB) | FSB |
| 6SL32301YC240UP0 | 37.8 A | 7.5 kW (FSC) | FSC |
| 6SL32301YC260UP0 | 57 A | 11 kW (FSD) | FSD |
Why they are similar
All nine parts share the same brand (Siemens), same series (SINAMICS G120X), same motor type (AC Motor), same mounting type (Chassis Mount), same encapsulation (Box), and same operating temperature range (20 °C ~ 45 °C). They are differentiated by output current and power rating, with the top three alternates (UF0, UB0, 221x) sharing identical electrical ratings to the primary but differing in the suffix variant slot.
The lower-rated 6SL32301YC200UP0 (4 kW, FSB frame) and higher-rated 6SL32301YC240UP0 (7.5 kW) and 6SL32301YC260UP0 (11 kW, FSD frame) represent upward and downward power scaling within the same G120X family. Frame size differences (FSB vs FSC vs FSD) have direct implications for physical mounting dimensions and available I/O—these must be confirmed against the relevant datasheets.
FAQ
Q: What is the input voltage and phase configuration for 6SL32301YC220UP0? A: The supplied catalog fields do not include input voltage range or phase count. The title indicates 200–240 V operation, which is consistent with single-phase or low-power three-phase supplies, but the exact configuration must be verified in the Siemens SINAMICS G120X data sheet for this MPN.
Q: Does 6SL32301YC220UP0 include built-in safety functions (e.g., STO)? A: The supplied spec keys do not indicate a safety function. Safety-rated variants (SIL2/PLd or higher) may carry a distinct suffix or be listed as separate G120X safety module variants. Verify against the Siemens ordering code guide before specifying for a safety-critical axis.
Q: Can 6SL32301YC220UP0 substitute for 6SL32301YC221UP0 directly?
A: Both MPNs share identical output current (29.7 A), power rating (5.5 kW), and frame (FSC). The 221 vs 220 middle-code difference and the suffix variants (UP0 vs UF0/UB0) may encode firmware level, onboard option set, or regional stocking codes. Direct substitution is not guaranteed—confirm the delta in the Siemens configurator or data sheet before replacement.
