01Key Information
Siemens 6SL3120-1TE13-0AA3 is the earlier 3 A Single Motor Module in the SINAMICS S120 booksize family. It converts energy from the common DC link into a controlled three-phase motor output and includes internal air cooling, optimized pulse patterns, extended Safety Integrated support and a DRIVE-CLiQ cable. Current Siemens comparison information marks this exact AA3 article as a spare part, so service selection must retain its hardware-generation identity.

02Functions
Documented Functions
- Supplies one motor from the SINAMICS S120 common DC link.
- Provides a 3 A rated output and a 2.6 A base-load current for the documented generation.
- Supports a 3.5 A S6 40 percent duty current and a 6 A peak current.
- Uses optimized pulse patterns for the controlled motor output.
- Supports the documented extended Safety Integrated functions.
- Integrates internal fan cooling and the DRIVE-CLiQ connection required by the module generation.

04Installation
- Match the complete AA3 suffix and installed hardware version before removing the existing module.
- Disconnect the common DC link and verify safe discharge under the applicable SINAMICS instructions.
- Check the 24 V electronics supply, DC-link busbar, motor connector, PE point and DRIVE-CLiQ connection.
- Preserve the internal fan airflow and allow for the documented temperature derating above 40 degrees C.
- Restore the correct drive object, motor data, encoder data and Safety Integrated configuration.
- Commission with controlled direction, current, brake, encoder and safety-function tests before returning the axis to service.
05Lifecycle
- Siemens current comparison information identifies 6SL3120-1TE13-0AA3 as a spare part.
- The AA3 generation has a documented 6 A peak current; do not copy the 9 A peak value from the later AA4 or AD0 data.
- Later 3 A articles include AA4 and D-type AD0 variants, but replacement requires generation and connector checks.
- Retain the original STARTER or Startdrive project, motor data, firmware baseline and safety acceptance records.
- Select a service replacement from the exact installed architecture rather than from the shared 3 A rating alone.
