01Product Identification
Siemens 6SL3120-1TE23-0AC0 is the active 30 A C-type Single Motor Module for SINAMICS S120. It supplies 25.5 A base-load current, 40 A S6 current and 56 A peak current, while its 100 mm housing carries a 705 µF DC-link capacitance. The exact data sheet permits motor cables up to 100 m shielded or 150 m unshielded. This current C-type article is intended for applications that fit its peak-current profile; the D-type 30 A variant should be considered where the higher threefold-overload value is required.

03Functions
Module Functions
- Delivers 30 A rated output with a 56 A C-type peak-current value.
- Supports a 16.0 kW type rating at rated current and 13.7 kW at base load.
- Allows longer motor-cable runs than the narrower 18 A and 24 A articles.
- Uses a 100 mm booksize housing with internal air cooling.
- Supports extended Safety Integrated functions in the documented system architecture.
- Provides servo, V/f and vector-control output-frequency capability under Siemens operating conditions.

04Applications
Typical Engineering Use
- Continuous-duty-oriented 30 A axes whose required peak current does not exceed 56 A.
- Larger motors needing up to 100 m shielded or 150 m unshielded cable within system limits.
- Modular machine-tool, production and material-handling drive line-ups.
- Migration from an older 30 A AA module after connector and power-unit checks.
- Cabinet designs prepared for the 100 mm module width and 0.015 m³/s cooling airflow.
Compatibility Boundary
- Confirm that the axis duty fits the 56 A C-type peak-current limit.
- Compare the D-type 6SL3120-1TE23-0AD0 where a 90 A peak requirement exists.
- Use the X1 connector, M5 PE connection and 1.5 to 6 mm² conductor range stated in the data sheet.
- Verify DC-link current, shared busbar loading and additional 24 V feed requirements in multi-module rows.
- Check Control Unit firmware, motor and encoder data, DRIVE-CLiQ topology and safety project.
- For migration from old AA connectors, follow the official 6 mm² adapter-cable guidance or update the motor cable.
05Lifecycle
- Siemens lists 6SL3120-1TE23-0AC0 as an active product.
- It is the current C-type 30 A internal-air-cooled Single Motor Module.
- Its peak-current profile remains 56 A; do not assume the 90 A value of the D-type article.
- Keep cable lengths, thermal losses, safety acceptance and overload selection in the equipment record.
- After commissioning, test current limiting, motor thermal behavior, cable conditions, feedback and all safety functions.
