Siemens SINAMICS V20 6SL3210-5BB17-5BV1 0.75 kW 1-Phase VFD

Product Overview

The Siemens SINAMICS V20 6SL3210-5BB17-5BV1 is a compact variable frequency drive for controlling the speed of compatible three-phase AC motors from a single-phase AC mains supply. This exact 0.75 kW model belongs to Siemens’ SINAMICS V20 basic converter family and is identified as a filtered C1 variant. It is intended for straightforward, configurable motor-speed control where the motor, drive output and installation conditions are correctly matched. The Siemens listing identifies an integrated basic operator panel (BOP), standard control inputs and outputs, and USS / Modbus RTU serial communications. The drive is a frequency converter, not a motor or packaged machine.

Electrical Ratings

The rated supply is single-phase 200–240 V AC at 47–63 Hz. Siemens’ detailed datasheet presents the permitted line range as 200–240 V with −15%/+10% tolerance; Siemens’ summary listing describes the nominal range with −10%/+10%, so installation should follow the relevant current technical documentation and rating plate. The output is three-phase, with IEC nominal output voltage 230 V AC (240 V NEC). Both low-overload (LO) and high-overload (HO) modes list 0.75 kW. Manufacturer-listed horsepower differs by rating basis: 0.75 hp in LO and 1.00 hp in HO. The continuous rated output current is 4.20 A in either mode; the manufacturer notes that NEC output current and horsepower ratings apply at 220–240 V. The output frequency setting range is 0–550 Hz, which is a converter capability and does not establish a safe mechanical speed for a particular motor or load.

Control Modes and Performance

SINAMICS V20 offers programmable frequency-converter operation, with operating parameters and application functions configured for the actual motor and load. For this exact part, Siemens identifies two overload classifications: low overload permits 110% of rated output current for 60 seconds per 300-second cycle, while high overload permits 150% for 60 seconds per 300-second cycle. These are temporary capabilities, not continuous output-current ratings. Confirm motor nameplate values, acceleration and deceleration settings, loading profile, and thermal behavior before applying either overload classification. Specific control algorithms and supported motor subtypes should be checked against the applicable V20 operating instructions rather than inferred from the drive’s 0–550 Hz range.

Communication and Configuration

The manufacturer lists USS and Modbus RTU communication for this product. These are supported serial communication protocols; the mention of a protocol does not imply an Ethernet port, PROFINET, or an optional network adapter is installed. The unit includes a basic operator panel for commissioning and adjustment. Siemens identifies four standard digital inputs, two digital outputs (one relay changeover and one transistor), two analog inputs that can also function as additional digital inputs, and one analog output. The proper parameter settings and terminal wiring depend on the chosen application and should be checked against the operating instructions. Optional communications hardware is not represented as included.

EMC Filter and Braking

The exact 6SL3210-5BB17-5BV1 is identified by Siemens as a filtered version. The Siemens listing calls it an integrated Filter C1 product, while the datasheet calls the integrated filter Class B. Those descriptions are retained with their source context rather than treated as a universal installation-level EMC compliance guarantee. Cabling, earthing, shielding, motor-cable length and panel construction all matter. The exact-part datasheet explicitly says there is no integrated braking chopper. Do not assume a braking resistor is included or that it can be connected directly without appropriate supported braking hardware. Braking-intensive machinery requires a separate engineering check.

Installation and Applications

The converter has an IP20 / UL open-type degree of protection, so a suitable protective enclosure may be required for its environment. Siemens gives FSAB frame dimensions of 68 × 142 × 127.8 mm (W × H × D). It is convection cooled and supports wall or side-by-side mounting according to documented conditions. The datasheet specifies operation from −10 to 60 °C but calls for derating from 40 °C upward, and cites 1,000 m installation altitude as its reference. Maximum motor cable lengths are 25 m shielded and 50 m unshielded under the published data; verify applicable EMC conditions separately. Typical engineering candidates include small fans, pumps, conveyors, mixers, and machinery auxiliaries only when the motor voltage, current, starting torque, protection and braking needs are compatible. This is not a claim that the unit is certified for every suggested machine.

Exact Variant Verification

This workbook applies only to 6SL3210-5BB17-5BV1, rated 0.75 kW, with single-phase 200–240 V AC input, 4.20 A output, integrated Class B / C1 filtering and no built-in braking chopper. It must not be confused with unfiltered UV1 order codes, other power ratings, three-phase-input products or adjacent SINAMICS V20 frame sizes. Always cross-check the physical nameplate and order code before replacement or installation.
