Siemens 6SL3210-1PE16-1AL1 SINAMICS G120 PM240-2 power module

Siemens identifies 6SL3210-1PE16-1AL1 as a SINAMICS PM240-2 power module with an integrated Class A filter and braking chopper. The module is rated for 3 AC 380-480 V input, 2.20 kW low-overload output, and 1.50 kW high-overload output.

System function and position

Rebuilt from individual evidence

Siemens identifies 6SL3210-1PE16-1AL1 as a SINAMICS PM240-2 power module with an integrated Class A filter and braking chopper.

The module is rated for 3 AC 380-480 V input, 2.20 kW low-overload output, and 1.50 kW high-overload output.

The documented unit has IP20 protection in an FSA frame and is supplied without a Control Unit and operating panel.

Unknown: exact motor compatibility, installed Control Unit pairing, commissioning parameters, and current commercial availability require separate evidence.

The documented product function places this unit in the drive power path between the supply, control layer, and motor.

System role

This section explains what the product does and where it acts in the surrounding system.

Function: Converts three-phase line power into the motor-drive power stage and handles braking energy through its integrated braking chopper.
System position: Sits in a modular SINAMICS G120 drive between the three-phase supply and the motor, with a separate Control Unit managing commands.
Upstream / inputs: Receives three-phase line power and command signals from the separate Control Unit.
Downstream / outputs: Supplies converted drive power to the motor and routes braking energy through the integrated chopper.
Limitations: Unknown: exact motor compatibility, installed Control Unit pairing, commissioning parameters, and current commercial availability require separate evidence.
