Siemens SINAMICS V20 0.12 kW Single-Phase 200–240 V AC VFD – 6SL3210-5BB11-2BV1

SIEMENS SINAMICS V20-0.12 KW Single-Phase 200–240 V AC VFD – 6SL3210-5BB11-2BV1 Technical Specifications

The Siemens 6SL3210-5BB11-2BV1 is a SINAMICS V20 basic frequency converter with a rated motor capacity of 0.12 kW. Siemens’ selection catalogue also lists this capacity as 0.16 hp. This exact version combines a single-phase 200–240 V AC input with a three-phase motor output, an integrated Category C1 line filter, and a built-in Basic Operator Panel (BOP). It is intended for basic adjustable-speed drive applications rather than being supplied as a complete motor-and-control package.

Electrical Ratings

The exact-model selection table specifies a rated output current of 0.9 A and a rated input current of 2.3 A. Motor selection should therefore consider the connected motor’s current and winding-voltage requirements alongside the 0.12 kW power designation. The output voltage is variable, with the V20 catalogue specifying a maximum of 100% of the input voltage. This is not a converter for producing a higher-voltage supply from a lower-voltage input.

The nominal input is 200–240 V AC at 47–63 Hz. Siemens’ exact product description states a −10%/+10% voltage tolerance, while other Siemens technical data state −15%/+10%. The nominal voltage is consistent, but the tolerance differs between sources. Confirm the applicable nameplate and documentation before relying on operation near the input limits.

Control Modes and Overload Capability

The documented V20 control methods include linear V/f, quadratic V/f, multi-point V/f, and V/f with flux current control (FCC). The family is intended for speed control of compatible three-phase asynchronous motors. A single-phase mains input does not mean that the motor output is intended for a single-phase motor.

The reviewed Siemens operating instructions specify an output-frequency range of 0–550 Hz. This electrical capability does not establish the safe operating speed of an attached motor or machine. The documented overload cycle for this power class permits 150% rated current for 60 seconds, followed by 94.5% rated current for 240 seconds. Overload current is temporary and must not be treated as a continuous rating.

Communication and Local Commissioning

USS and Modbus RTU communication are integrated over RS-485. These protocols can support connection to suitably configured control equipment without an optional fieldbus card for those functions. Protocol selection, addressing, and communication settings must match the connected controller. The drive should not be described as having integrated Ethernet or PROFINET on the basis of other Siemens drive families.

The built-in BOP provides local parameter access and operation. Siemens also offers an optional V20 Smart Access module for browser-based commissioning and operation using a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. This accessory is separate from the drive’s integrated RS-485 communication and is not assumed to be included.

EMC Filter and Braking Configuration

The BV1 article is the filtered version, with Siemens specifying an integrated C1 filter. EMC performance remains dependent on the installation, including the applicable motor-cable and wiring conditions. An integrated filter is not an unconditional statement that every completed installation meets the same emission limits.

This FSAA drive does not contain an integrated braking chopper. Siemens documents a separate V20 braking module for FSAA–FSAD, used with an appropriate external braking resistor when resistor braking is required. Neither component should be treated as included with this article. Select braking equipment against the actual deceleration and duty requirements.

Installation and Typical Applications

The compact FSAA enclosure measures 68 × 142 × 107.8 mm (W × H × D); the product description rounds depth to 108 mm. It uses convection cooling without an internal fan and has IP20 / UL open-type protection. It is intended for suitable cabinet or equipment installation with the manufacturer’s mounting and clearance requirements.

Potential applications include appropriately sized small pumps, fans, conveyors, and other basic speed-control mechanisms. These are selection candidates based on the V20 application scope, not guarantees that every load in those categories is compatible. Check motor current, torque demand, acceleration, braking, and environmental conditions for the actual machine.

Exact Variant Verification

Use the complete 6SL3210-5BB11-2BV1 identification. The similarly numbered UV1 article is unfiltered, and adjacent V20 models have different power, current, and frame ratings. Do not substitute their specifications for this filtered 0.12 kW model.
