Siemens SINAMICS V20 6SL3210-5BE22-2CV1 2.2 kW 3-Phase VFD

Electrical Ratings

The Siemens SINAMICS V20 6SL3210-5BE22-2CV1 is designed for a three-phase 380–480 V AC supply, with a permitted supply tolerance of −15% to +10% and a mains frequency of 47–63 Hz. It delivers a three-phase motor output and is rated for 2.20 kW at both Low Overload and High Overload duty. Siemens lists 3.00 HP under NEC ratings for the 440–480 V range; this is a manufacturer-specified rating, not a calculated conversion. At the 400 V IEC reference, the continuous rated output current is 5.60 A. The manufacturer also lists 4.80 A for the 480 V NEC basis; this current must not be presented as interchangeable with the IEC rating. The adjustable output frequency range is 0–550 Hz. Actual motor operating speed must remain within the motor and driven-machine limits.

Control Modes and Performance

The SINAMICS V20 family provides configurable speed-control functions for general-purpose industrial motor drives. The exact-model datasheet confirms two distinct overload regimes: Low Overload permits 110% of rated output current for 60 seconds in a 300-second cycle, while High Overload permits 150% for 60 seconds in a 300-second cycle. Both modes are rated 2.20 kW for this part number. The 5.60 A continuous output rating should never be mistaken for the short-term overload current. Selection must consider load inertia, acceleration time, process duty cycle, motor cooling, and any necessary derating.

Communication and Configuration

USS and Modbus RTU are built-in communication protocols identified by Siemens for this exact drive. These are serial control protocols and do not imply built-in Ethernet or PROFINET. The manufacturer lists a built-in Basic Operator Panel (BOP) for local configuration and operation. Four digital inputs, two digital outputs, two analog inputs and one analog output are listed in Siemens product documentation; details of input assignment, signal levels and terminal wiring should be verified in the operating instructions during commissioning. Optional accessories and software are not assumed to be included in the drive package.

Braking, EMC and Built-in Functions

This CV1 ordering variant includes an integrated braking chopper. The braking chopper is part of the drive hardware, but Siemens does not thereby establish that an external braking resistor is included. A correctly sized compatible resistor and appropriate thermal protection may be necessary for regenerative or rapid deceleration duties. The drive also contains an integrated EMC filter: Siemens describes it as Class A on the technical datasheet and C3 on the product listing. Those are source-specific designations; the machine builder remains responsible for the overall installation and electromagnetic compatibility. Do not confuse this CV1 configuration with the older CV0 article, which did not include the integrated braking unit.

Installation and Operating Conditions

Siemens specifies an FSA frame with 90.0 mm width, 166.0 mm height and 145.5 mm depth. The converter is IP20 / UL open type and therefore requires an appropriately protected installation location or control enclosure where additional environmental protection is needed. Cooling is provided by an external fan, and the stated mounting arrangements include wall mounting and side-by-side mounting under the manufacturer’s installation rules. The datasheet states an ambient operation range of −10°C to +60°C, but warns that output derating must be observed from 40°C upward. Rated installation altitude is 1,000 m; higher altitudes require consultation of the manual. The datasheet lists maximum motor cable lengths of 10 m shielded or 50 m unshielded. Installation should be completed by qualified personnel following applicable electrical safety and EMC practices.

Applications and Selection Guidance

This 2.2 kW SINAMICS V20 is suitable for selection in appropriately engineered variable-speed machinery, such as fans, pumps, conveyors and general process equipment, provided the connected three-phase motor and mechanical load match the verified current, voltage and duty ratings. The actual application must also account for the inverter duty of the motor and the available cooling at low speed. The integrated serial communication can support supervisory control systems configured for USS or Modbus RTU. Its integrated braking chopper may be useful where controlled deceleration is required, but does not by itself guarantee a required stop time or safe stopping function. Protective devices and all required resistors remain project-specific engineering selections.

Exact Variant Verification

The complete article number is 6SL3210-5BE22-2CV1. The CV1 ending identifies the integrated-filter product revision with integrated braking hardware. Siemens lists the older 6SL3210-5BE22-2CV0 as the preceding variant. Its braking configuration must not be copied into this workbook. The unfiltered UV1 ordering variant is a separate product and must also not be mixed with this filtered unit. For exact replacement work, verify the existing nameplate, terminal requirements, motor and cable compatibility, mains supply, and installation clearances before ordering or commissioning.
