Next gen Siemens drives claim greater power density 16 January 2015

Siemens has improved its modular drive inverter system and is now offering higher power density equipment that also saves space.

The second generation of Sinamics G120 is now available in three voltage versions for connection to 200V, 400V and 690V lines, with power density improved due to their new PM240-2 power module.

Mark Chrimes, business development manager for Siemens motion control, says the re-engineered drives are also more resistant to line fluctuations, thanks to an integrated dc link inductor.

Sinamics G120 range is now available in seven frame sizes, with powers ranging from 0.37kW to 250kW, and can be mounted side by side without de-rating, due to the systems' so-called push-through cooling concept.

"These new devices are designed to meet a diverse range of industrial and business requirements, from mechanical engineering, to automotive, textile, packaging, food and beverage and chemicals industries," states Chrimes.
