PM230 Power Modules are designed for applications involving pumps, fans and compressors with a square characteristic. They do not have an integrated braking chopper (single-quadrant applications).

The PM230 Power Module only generates low line harmonics and apparent power losses. In addition to the energy-related advantages, environmental stressing is also reduced.

• Line harmonics are reduced significantly.
  • The limit values of EN 61000?3?2, EN 61000?3?4 and IEC 61000?3?12 are maintained for R_SCE > 250. R_SCE is the short-circuit power S_{K_line}/S_inverter according to EN 61000?3?2, EN 61000?3?12 and EN 61000?3?4 and for three phase devices is identical to R_SC according to IEC 60146?1?1.
  • Additional components such as line reactors are not required and it is not permissible to use them. As a consequence, low envelope dimensions are obtained for space-saving designs.
• The active power component is very high, i.e. the devices consume less current from the supply for the same drive power. As a consequence, smaller supply cables can be used.

Frame sizes FSA to FSF of the PM230 Power Module in degree of protection IP20 standard variant are available with integrated line filter class A for installations according to Category C2 and in accordance with EN 61800?3 or without an integrated line filter.

Frame sizes FSA to FSC of the PM230 Power Module in degree of protection IP20 push-through variant are available with integrated line filter class A for installations according to Category C2 and in accordance with EN 618003, or without an integrated line filter.

In order to maintain EMC categories C2 (line filter A) or C1 table 14 (line filter B, conducted), the permissible shielded cable lengths between the inverter and motor are limited (for maximum permissible cable lengths, see Integration).

The permissible cable lengths between inverter and motor are limited (for max. permissible cable lengths, see Integration). Longer cables can be used if output reactors are connected for PM230 (see section Load-side power components).

The line system configurations that are supported are symmetrical systems with grounded neutral point.

PM230 Power Modules do not support Control Units with Safety Integrated. Safety functions can be implemented by means of external switching devices.

PM230 Power Modules with integrated filter class A or class B, degree of protection IP55/UL Type 12, 0.37 kW to 90 kW (0.5 hp to 125 hp) are integral components of the SINAMICS G120P for pumps, fans and compressors. Detailed information can be found in Catalog D 35.

Note:

Shield plates and shield connection kits are available. These can be used in the wiring installation for the Control Units and Power Modules to ensure that it complies with EMC guidelines.

The new PM240?2 Power Modules are based on a new hardware platform. This permits an increase in power density as well as the application of innovative cooling concepts (push-through technology) with especially high requirements in terms of control cabinet cooling.

Furthermore, the PM240-2 Power Module is also suitable for use in safety-oriented applications. In conjunction with a fail-safe Control Unit, the drive can be transformed into a Safety Integrated Drive (see section Control Units).

The PM240?2 Power Modules frame sizes FSA to FSC are available both with and without an integrated line filter class A of compact design for 200 V and 400 V line voltages.

The permissible cable lengths between inverter and motor are limited (for max. permissible cable lengths, see Integration). Longer cables can be used if output reactors are connected (see section Load-side power components).

Push-through variant

The push-through variant allows the cooling fins of the Power Module to be pushed through the rear panel of the control cabinet. Push-through variants should be used in applications in which the amount of waste heat generated inside the control cabinet itself must be minimized.

Shield plates and shield connection kits are available. These can be used in the wiring installation for the Control Units and Power Modules to ensure that it complies with EMC guidelines.

PM250 Power Modules – 7.5 kW to 90 kW (10 hp to 125 hp), IP20 degree of protection

PM250 Power Modules, frame sizes FSC to FSF

PM250 Power Modules are suitable for a large number of applications in general mechanical engineering. Any braking energy is directly fed back into the line supply (four-quadrant applications – a braking chopper is not required).

The PM250 Power Module features an absolutely unique technology – Efficient Infeed Technology. This feature provides the ability to feed energy back into the supply system in the generator mode (electronic braking) so that the energy is not wasted in a braking resistor. This saves space in the control cabinet. The time-consuming process of dimensioning the braking resistor and the expense of the extra wiring are eliminated. Furthermore, heat losses in the control cabinet are reduced.

Additional information is provided in chapter Highlights, section Efficient Infeed Technology.

Further, the innovative circuit design reduces the line harmonics. There is no need to use an optional line reactor at the supply infeed. This saves space and costs for engineering and procurement.

The permissible cable lengths between inverter and motor are limited (for max. permissible cable lengths, see Integration). Longer cables can be used if output reactors are connected (see section Load-side power components).

Frame sizes FSD to FSF of the PM250 Power Modules are available both with as well as without integrated line filter class A.

For frame size FSC of the PM250 Power Module with an integrated line filter class A, an additional base filter of class B is available for achieving class B (see section Line-side power components).

The PM250 Power Module is also designed for safety-oriented applications. In conjunction with a fail-safe Control Unit, the drive can be transformed into a Safety Integrated Drive (see section Control Units).

The PM250 Power Modules with integrated line filter class A are suitable for connection to TN supply systems. Power Modules without integrated line filter can be connected to grounded TN/TT systems and non-grounded IT systems.

Shield plates and shield connection kits are available. These can be used in the wiring installation for the Control Units and Power Modules to ensure that it complies with EMC guidelines.
