Selection and Ordering Information
Siemens uses specific order numbers (MLFBs) for different V20 models. For example:
-
6SL3210-5BB12-5UV1: A 0.25kW drive for 1-phase 200-240V AC supply.
-
6SL3210-5BE22-2UV0: A 2.2kW drive for 3-phase 380-480V AC supply.
-
6SL3210-5BE32-2CV0: A 22kW drive for 400V AC 3-phase operation .
The series encompasses multiple frame sizes (FS AA, AB, A to FSE) to cover the entire power range with an optimized physical size for each power rating .
In summary, the Siemens SINAMICS V20 provides a practical, no-frills drive solution that prioritizes ease of use, operational robustness, and energy efficiency for a wide range of standard industrial applications.
