Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the Siemens 6SL3210-1KE18-8AF1?
It is a SINAMICS G120C compact frequency converter rated at 4 kW (5 HP) for low overload applications. It features an integrated Class A EMC filter and PROFINET / EtherNet/IP fieldbus interface .
Q2: What is the power rating of this drive?
The drive is rated at 4.0 kW (5.0 HP) for low overload (150% for 3s) and 3.0 kW (4.0 HP) for high overload (200% for 3s) .
Q3: What is the difference between low overload and high overload?
Low overload (LO) is for applications with moderate overload requirements (150% for 3s), suitable for pumps, fans, and conveyors. High overload (HO) is for applications requiring higher starting torque (200% for 3s), suitable for mixers, extruders, and positive displacement pumps .
