Line-side power components

The following line-side power components are available for the SINAMICS G120P converters:

  • Line filters for PM230 and PM330 Power Modules and SINAMICS G120P Cabinet
    With an additional line filter, the Power Module complies with a higher radio interference class.
  • Line reactors for PM330 Power Modules and SINAMICS G120P Cabinet
    Line reactors smooth the current drawn by the converter and thus reduce harmonic components in the line current. Through the reduction of the current harmonics, the thermal load on the power components in the rectifier and in the DC link capacitors is reduced as well as the harmonic effects on the supply. The use of a line reactor increases the service life of the converter.
    SINAMICS G120P Cabinet units feature a cabinet-integrated line-side reactor as standard.

Note:
A line reactor must not be used in combination with a PM230 Power Module.

Recommended line-side overcurrent protection devices and power components

This section contains recommendations for additional line-side components, such as Siemens fuses and circuit breakers (line-side components must be dimensioned in accordance with IEC standards).

Additional information about the listed fuses and circuit breakers is available in the Catalogs LV 10, IC 10 and IC 10 AO as well as in the Industry Mall.

DC link components

The following DC link components are available for the SINAMICS G120P converters:

  • Braking Module for PM330 Power Modules and SINAMICS G120P Cabinet
    A Braking Module and the matching braking resistor are required to achieve controlled braking of a drive. The Braking Module houses the power electronics and the associated control circuit.
  • Braking resistors for PM330 Power Modules and SINAMICS G120P Cabinet
    Excess energy in the DC link is dissipated via the braking resistor.

Load-side power components

Various load-side power components are available for the SINAMICS G120P converters. These allow the use of longer shielded motor cables and increase the motor service life:

  • Output reactors
    Output reactors reduce the rate of voltage rise (dv/dt) and the height of the current peaks, and enable longer motor cables to be connected.
  • Sine-wave filters for PM230 Power Modules
    Sine-wave filters limit the rate of voltage rise (dv/dt) and the peak voltages on the motor winding. Similar to an output reactor, they enable the connection of longer motor cables.
  • dv/dt filters plus VPL for PM240P-2 and PM330 Power Modules
    dv/dt filters plus VPL (Voltage Peak Limiter) limit the voltage rate-of-rise dv/dt to values <500 V/μs and the typical voltage peaks to values according to the limit value curve as per IEC/TS 60034‑17: 2006.
    Standard motors with standard insulation and without insulated bearings can be used for converter operation if a dv/dt filter plus VPL is used.
  • dv/dt filters compact plus VPL for PM330 Power Modules and SINAMICS G120P Cabinet
    dv/dt filters compact plus VPL (Voltage Peak Limiter) limit the voltage rate-of-rise dv/dt to values of <1600 V/μs and the typical voltage peaks to values according to the limit value curve A to IEC 60034‑25: 2007.

See also on the Internet at http://www.ul.com

Machinery directive

The converters are suitable for installation in machines. Compliance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC requires a separate certificate of conformity. This must be provided by the plant construction company or the organization marketing the machine.

Functional safety

SINAMICS G120P and SINAMICS G120P Cabinet are not intended for use in installations with functional safety as defined by ISO 13849‑1, IEC 61508‑x.

EMC Directive

  • EN 61800‑3
    Variable-speed electric drives
    Part 3: EMC product standard including specific test methods

The following explanatory information applies to SINAMICS G120P and SINAMICS G120P Cabinet converters supplied by Siemens AG:

  • The EMC product standard EN 61800-3 does not apply directly to a converter but to a PDS (Power Drive System), which comprises the complete circuitry, motor and cables in addition to the converter.
  • Converters are normally only supplied to experts for installation in machines or systems. A converter must, therefore, only be considered as a component which, on its own, is not subject to the EMC product standard EN 61800-3. The converter’s operating instructions, however, specifies the conditions regarding compliance with the product standard if the converter is expanded to become a PDS. For a PDS, the EMC Directive in the EU is complied with by observing the product standard EN 61800-3 for variable-speed electric drive systems. The converters on their own do not generally require identification according to the EMC Directive.
  • Different categories C1 to C4 have been defined in accordance with the environment of the PDS at the operating location:
    • Category C1: Drive systems for rated voltages < 1000 V for use in the first environment
    • Category C2: Stationary drive systems not connected by means of a plug connector for rated voltages < 1000 V. When used in the first environment, the system must be installed and commissioned by personnel familiar with EMC requirements. A warning note is required.
    • Category C3: Drive systems for rated voltages < 1000 V for exclusive use in the second environment. A warning note is required.
    • Category C4: Drive systems for rated voltages ≥ 1000 V or for rated currents ≥ 400 A or for use in complex systems in the second environment. An EMC plan must be created.
  • The EMC product standard EN 61800‑3 also defines limit values for conducted interference and radiated interference for the “second environment” (= industrial power supply systems that do not supply households). These limit values are below the limit values of filter class A to EN 55011. Unfiltered converters can be used in industrial environments as long as they are part of a system that contains line filters on the higher-level infeed side.
  • With SINAMICS G120P and SINAMICS G120P Cabinet, Power Drive Systems (PDS) that fulfill the EMC product standard EN 61800-3 can be configured when observing the installation instructions in the product documentation.
  • A differentiation must be made between the product standards for electrical drive systems (PDS) of the range of standards EN 61800 (of which Part 3 covers EMC topics) and the product standards for the devices/systems/machines, etc. This will probably not result in any changes in the practical use of converters. Since converters are always part of a PDS and these are part of a machine, the machine manufacturer must observe various standards depending on their type and environment (e.g. EN 61000‑3‑2 for line harmonics and EN 55011 for radio interference). The product standard for PDS on its own is, therefore, either insufficient or irrelevant.
  • With respect to the compliance with limits for line supply harmonics, the EMC product standard EN 61800‑3 for PDS refers to compliance with the EN 61000‑3‑2 and EN 61000‑3‑12 standards. EN 61000‑2‑4 applies for devices >75 A.
  • Regardless of the configuration with SINAMICS G120P and SINAMICS G120P Cabinet and its components, the machine construction company (OEM) can also apply other measures to ensure that the machine complies with the EU EMC Directive. The EU EMC Directive is generally fulfilled when the relevant EMC product standards are observed. If they are not available, the generic standards (e.g. EN 61000‑x‑x) can be used instead. It is important that the conducted and emitted interference at the line supply connection point and outside the machine remain below the relevant limit values. Any suitable technical measures can be applied to ensure this.

SEMI F47

SEMI F47 is an industry standard relating to the immunity to voltage dips. This includes the requirement that industrial equipment must be able to tolerate defined dips or drops of the line supply voltage. As a result, industrial equipment that fulfills this standard is more reliable and productive.

All Power Modules of the SINAMICS G120P product family fulfill the latest standard SEMI F47-0706 1). In the case of a voltage dip, defined in accordance with SEMI F47‑0706, these drives either continue to supply a defined output current, or using an automatic restart function, continue to operate as expected.

EAC approval for Russia/Belarus/Kazakhstan/Armenia

Since 2013-02-15, Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Armenia have been united in the Eurasian EAC customs union. An EAC approval as replacement for the GOST mark is required for all products that are to be sold in Russia.

All devices delivered to the customs union must have these customs certifications.

RCM approval for Australia

The RCM mark is required for marketing Siemens electronic devices in Australia. Electronic devices must provide proof of EMC clearance in Australia, similar to the CE marking of conformity laid down by the EMC directive applicable in the EU. The converters must be marked accordingly. These requirements have been in force since October 1, 1999.

On March 1, 2016, the C-Tick mark was replaced by the RCM mark.

KC approval for South Korea

KC approval (formerly KCC) is required for the distribution of our electrical equipment in South Korea. Electronic devices that are covered by the EU Directive on Electromagnetic Compatibility must provide an EMC certificate issued by a resident authority in South Korea. The converters must be marked accordingly. This requirement has been in force since January 24, 2011.
