Functional position
The 6SL32301YH500CF0 is a SINAMICS G120X variable-speed chassis drive operating from a 500–690 V AC supply and delivering up to 231 A to an AC motor at approximately 160 kW. The device is packaged as a chassis-mountable unit for integration into cabinet or standalone motor control arrangements where thermal management and line-side switching are handled separately.

All six share identical output current, voltage range, power class, AC motor type, chassis mounting, and SINAMICS series designation. The six 160 kW variants differ only in suffix characters indicating configuration or certification class. The 200 kW variants in the same catalog family (6SL32301YH520CF0, 6SL32301YH521CF0) carry 281 A output, and the 250 kW variant (6SL32301YH540CF0) carries 338 A — these represent a higher current tier rather than an interchange option.
Integration constraints (record-anchored)
- Operating temperature range 20 °C to 45 °C constrains cabinet ventilation or enclosure climate control in higher-ambient environments.
- Chassis mounting requires mechanical support provisions sized for a 160 kW unit — cabinet rail or panel cutout arrangements are not defined in this record.
- The drive is suited for use within a G120X system where line-side and motor-side components are selected separately to match branch protection and coordination requirements.
FAQ
Is the 6SL32301YH500CF0 available in a RoHS-compliant version? The record lists the part as ROHS3 Compliant.
Can a 200 kW variant replace the 6SL32301YH500CF0 in the same frame size? The 200 kW units (6SL32301YH520CF0 and 6SL32301YH521CF0) carry 281 A output versus 231 A — power class and thermal ratings differ. Substitution requires independent engineering qualification.
What motor type does the 6SL32301YH500CF0 drive? The record specifies AC Motor type under the G120X SINAMICS series.
