Siemens Sinamics V20 Inverter drive, 1-phase, 200 - 240V, 0.55kW Part number 6SL3210-5BB15-5BV1

Product Overview

The Siemens 6SL3210-5BB15-5BV1 is a compact frequency converter / inverter from the SINAMICS G120C (or V20-compatible) family. It is designed for 1-phase 200-240 V AC mains input and drives 3-phase motors. The rated motor output power is 0.55 kW, making it suitable for smaller motors, pumps, fans or other light industrial drives where compact size and simple motor control are required.

Key Features

• Single-phase (1AC) input: 200–240 V, 47-63 Hz
• 3-phase (3AC) output for motor drive — rated motor power 0.55 kW
• Compact design — frame size FSAB / FSA (small footprint, suitable for small control enclosures)
• Integrated filter (EMC filter Class B / C1) — helps meet EMC / interference standards
• Supports output frequency range: 0 – 550 Hz (for variable-speed control) with PWM output
• Overload capability: 110% rated current for 60 s (low overload) or 150% for 60 s (high overload) in defined duty cycles
• Digital and analog I/O onboard — enabling basic control without external modules (e.g. several digital inputs, analog inputs / outputs depending on variant)
• Basic control and drive modes: V/f control (variable frequency / voltage), suitable for standard motor speed / torque regulation tasks
• IP20 / “open type” enclosure — intended for installation in control cabinet or protected enclosure (not exposed outdoor use)
• Compact mounting options — wall- or panel-mounting, with side-by-side installation possible to save space

Compliance & Standards

• Part of the SINAMICS V20 / G120C range — designed for small- to medium-power AC motor control, widely used in industrial applications
• Integrated EMC filter and compliance for interference emission standards when correctly installed
• Open-type enclosure (IP20) — intended for installation inside control cabinets or protected control enclosures in compliance with electrical installation standards
• Suitable for use with standard three-phase motors, complying with standard motor and drive compatibility requirements

Applications

The 6SL3210-5BB15-5BV1 is ideal for small motor control — such as pumps, fans, small conveyors, mixers, compressors, HVAC systems, small machine drives and general automation tasks where motor speed control is required. It is especially useful where single-phase supply is available (e.g. smaller facilities, small machines) but a 3-phase motor needs to be driven — offering a cost-effective, compact, and straightforward drive solution. Its compact size makes it particularly suitable for OEM equipment, control cabinets with limited space, or retrofit applications where simplicity and reliability are priorities.
