01
Key Information
6SL3210-1PE18-0AL1 is a SINAMICS PM240-2 modular power stage for three-phase 380 to 480 V supply systems. The article combines a Class A input filter and an integrated braking chopper in the compact FSA enclosure.
The module is rated for 3 kW low-overload duty or 2.2 kW high-overload duty. It forms a complete converter only after a compatible SINAMICS control unit is installed and configured for the motor and machine.
02
Functions
- Converts the incoming three-phase AC supply into controlled motor power under commands from the fitted control unit.
- Provides an internal braking chopper for applications that route regenerative energy to a correctly selected external braking resistor.
- Supports low-overload and high-overload operating profiles so selection can follow the torque and acceleration demands of the load.
- Uses forced internal air cooling to remove power-stage heat from the FSA enclosure.
- Integrates the Class A filter required by the stated article configuration.

04
Installation
- Mount the FSA unit vertically with the specified cooling clearances and keep the internal airflow path unobstructed.
- Verify line voltage, protective conductor, motor cable, braking-resistor duty and electromagnetic-compatibility measures before energizing.
- Fit a released SINAMICS control unit and retain the required firmware level before loading motor and application parameters.
- Use the PM240-2 installation procedure for power-terminal torque, shielding, grounding and cabinet ventilation.
- Commission the motor only after the rating plate data and the intended low- or high-overload duty have been confirmed.
05
Lifecycle
- Siemens classifies this article as an active product.
- The complete 6SL3210-1PE18-0AL1 order number identifies the filtered power-stage variant and must be retained in procurement records.
- Replacement planning should include the installed control unit, its firmware, the parameter backup and the external braking arrangement.
- Before exchanging a module, record the motor rating, supply conditions and cabinet cooling design rather than selecting on kilowatt rating alone.
