Siemens 6SL3224-0BE31-5UA0 SINAMICS G120 PM240 15 kW Unfiltered High-overload Power Module
A FSD PM240 power stage with 15.00 kW high-overload duty, 18.50 kW low-overload duty and an unfiltered line input.
Key Information
6SL3224-0BE31-5UA0 is a Siemens SINAMICS G120 PM240 Power Module for three-phase 380 to 480 V AC supplies. It provides 18.50 kW low-overload and 15.00 kW high-overload motor duty in the FSD format.
The module has no integrated filter and an integrated braking chopper. It operates with a compatible SINAMICS G120 Control Unit and the line-side, motor and cabinet components selected for its current class.
Functions
- Provides 38.00 A low-overload current and 32.00 A high-overload current for a modular G120 drive.
- Delivers up to 64.00 A maximum output current under the documented overload profile.
- Uses an unfiltered power-stage configuration together with an integrated braking chopper.
- Uses FSD internal-air-cooled construction with 0.055 m³/s cooling airflow.
- Supports vector-control output frequencies to 200 Hz and V/f output frequencies to 550 Hz.

Installation
- Use 6SL3224-0BE31-5UA0 with a compatible SINAMICS G120 Control Unit and supported firmware for the installed machine.
- Size the motor and protection for the 38.00 A LO or 32.00 A HO current profile actually used.
- Provide the external EMC measures required by the unfiltered UA0 configuration.
- Keep motor-cable length within 50 m shielded or 100 m unshielded under the documented installation conditions.
- Provide 0.055 m³/s airflow and preserve the FSD mechanical envelope.
Lifecycle
- Siemens lists 6SL3224-0BE31-5UA0 as a spare part with product cancellation effective 1 October 2019.
- Retain the complete 6SL3224-0BE31-5UA0 suffix because it identifies the unfiltered UA0 construction.
- Record the connected Control Unit, firmware, motor data, parameter set and braking circuit before exchange.
- Confirm the FSD dimensions, 13.00 kg handling weight and m6 bolt, 10.00–50.00 mm² (awg 8–1) during retrofit planning.
- Verify protective devices, cable routing, cooling and commissioning under the machine safety procedure.
