Testing the protection against electric shock when using frequency converters
Protection on indirect contact in the motor circuit of a converter and automatic disconnection
in case of a fault in accordance with DIN EN 60364-4-4 VDE 0100, part 410 is ensured if the
following conditions are met:
● The installation instructions provided in the documentation of the converter have been
followed, in particular, regarding
– Equipotential bonding
– Conductor cross section
– Fuse protection
● The valid standards were complied with during installation:
– DIN EN 50178 VDE 0160
– DIN EN 60204-1 VDE 0113, part 1
– DIN EN 60364-5-52 VDE 0100-520
– DIN EN 60364-5-54 VDE 0100-540
● Continuity of the PE conductor is ensured according to DIN VDE 0100-600 (IEC 60364-6)
Converters of the SINAMICS series meet the requirements defined in DIN EN 60364-4-41
VDE 0100, part 410 and comply with the specified break times.
Background
In the case of a short-circuit with negligible impedance to ground, the converter interrupts the
circuit within the shortest time (<< 100 ms). As a consequence, there is very high impedance
between the converter DC link and the output (> 1 MΩ) so that the possible voltage as result
of the voltage divider with the impedance of the ground connection between the motor and
converter is less than 50 VAC or 120 VDC.

DANGER
Danger to life due to live parts and other energy sources
Death or serious injury can result when live parts are touched.
• Only work on electrical devices when you are qualified for this job.
• Always observe the country-specific safety rules.
Generally, six steps apply when establishing safety:
1. Prepare for shutdown and notify all those who will be affected by the procedure.
2. Disconnect the machine from the supply.
– Switch off the machine.
– Wait until the discharge time specified on the warning labels has elapsed.
– Check that it really is in a no-voltage condition, from phase conductor to phase
conductor and phase conductor to protective conductor.
– Check whether the existing auxiliary supply circuits are de-energized.
– Ensure that the motors cannot move.
3. Identify all other dangerous energy sources, e.g. compressed air, hydraulic systems, or
water.
4. Isolate or neutralize all hazardous energy sources by closing switches, grounding or
short-circuiting or closing valves, for example.
5. Secure the energy sources against switching on again.
6. Ensure that the correct machine is completely interlocked.
After you have completed the work, restore the operational readiness in the inverse
sequence.
WARNING
Danger to life through a hazardous voltage when connecting an unsuitable power supply
Touching live components can result in death or severe injury.
• Only use power supplies that provide SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) or PELV-
(Protective Extra Low Voltage) output voltages for all connections and terminals of the
electronics modules.
WARNING
Danger to life when live parts are touched on damaged devices
Improper handling of devices can cause damage.
For damaged devices, hazardous voltages can be present at the enclosure or at exposed
components; if touched, this can result in death or severe injury.
• Ensure compliance with the limit values specified in the technical data during transport,
storage and operation.
• Do not use any damaged devices.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to unconnected cable shields
Hazardous touch voltages can occur through capacitive cross-coupling due to unconnected
cable shields.
• As a minimum, connect cable shields and the conductors of power cables that are not
used (e.g. brake cores) at one end at the grounded housing potential.
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock when not grounded
For missing or incorrectly implemented protective conductor connection for devices with
protection class I, high voltages can be present at open, exposed parts, which when
touched, can result in death or severe injury.
• Ground the device in compliance with the applicable regulations.
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock when opening plug connections in operation
When opening plug connections in operation, arcs can result in severe injury or death.
• Only open plug connections when the equipment is in a no-voltage state, unless it has
been explicitly stated that they can be opened in operation.
NOTICE
Material damage due to loose power connections
Insufficient tightening torques or vibrations can result in loose electrical connections. This
can result in damage due to fire, device defects or malfunctions.
• Tighten all power connections with the specified tightening torques, e.g. line supply
connection, motor connection, DC link connections.
• Check all power connections at regular intervals. This applies in particular after
transport.
WARNING
Danger to life due to fire spreading if housing is inadequate
Fire and smoke development can cause severe personal injury or material damage.
• Install devices without a protective housing in a metal control cabinet (or protect the
device by another equivalent measure) in such a way that contact with fire is prevented.
• Ensure that smoke can only escape via controlled and monitored paths.
WARNING
Danger to life through unexpected movement of machines when using mobile wireless
devices or mobile phones
Using mobile wireless devices or mobile phones with a transmit power > 1 W closer than
approx. 2 m to the components may cause the devices to malfunction, influence the
functional safety of machines therefore putting people at risk or causing material damage.
• Switch the wireless devices or mobile phones off in the immediate vicinity of the
components.
WARNING
Danger to life due to the motor catching fire in the event of insulation overload
There is higher stress on the motor insulation through a ground fault in an IT system. If the
insulation fails, it is possible that death or severe injury can occur as a result of smoke and
fire.
• Use a monitoring device that signals an insulation fault.
• Correct the fault as quickly as possible so the motor insulation is not overloaded.
WARNING
Danger to life due to fire if overheating occurs because of insufficient ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating of components with subsequent
fire and smoke. This can cause severe injury or even death. This can also result in
increased downtime and reduced service lives for devices/systems.
• Ensure compliance with the specified minimum clearance as ventilation clearance for
the respective component.
WARNING
Danger of an accident occurring due to missing or illegible warning labels
Missing or illegible warning labels can result in accidents involving death or serious injury.
• Check that the warning labels are complete based on the documentation.
• Attach any missing warning labels to the components, in the national language if
necessary.
• Replace illegible warning labels.
NOTICE
Device damage caused by incorrect voltage/insulation tests
Incorrect voltage/insulation tests can damage the device.
• Before carrying out a voltage/insulation check of the system/machine, disconnect the
devices as all converters and motors have been subject to a high voltage test by the
manufacturer, and therefore it is not necessary to perform an additional test within the
system/machine.
WARNING
Danger to life when safety functions are inactive
Safety functions that are inactive or that have not been adjusted accordingly can cause
operational faults on machines that could lead to serious injury or death.
• Observe the information in the appropriate product documentation before
commissioning.
• Carry out a safety inspection for functions relevant to safety on the entire system,
including all safety-related components.
• Ensure that the safety functions used in your drives and automation tasks are adjusted
and activated through appropriate parameterizing.
• Perform a function test.
• Only put your plant into live operation once you have guaranteed that the functions
relevant to safety are running correctly.
Note
Important safety notices for Safety Integrated functions
If you want to use Safety Integrated functions, you must observe the safety notices in the
Safety Integrated manuals.
WARNING
Danger to life from electromagnetic fields
Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are generated by the operation of electrical power equipment
such as transformers, converters or motors.
People with pacemakers or implants are at a special risk in the immediate vicinity of these
devices/systems.
• Ensure that the persons involved are the necessary distance away (minimum 2 m).
NOTICE
Damage through electric fields or electrostatic discharge
Electric fields or electrostatic discharge can cause malfunctions through damaged
individual components, integrated circuits, modules or devices.

WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock as well as fire hazard due to overcurrent protective
devices that trip too late
Overcurrent protective devices that do not trip or trip too late can cause an electric shock or
fire.
• To protect personnel and for fire protection purposes, at the infeed point, the short-
circuit rating and loop impedance must correspond to the specifications in the
documentation in order for the installed overcurrent protection devices to trip within the
specified time.
• In addition to suitable overcurrent protection devices, in TT line systems use ground-
fault circuit interrupters (residual current devices - RCD); from an infeed power of 55 kW
or for plants and systems extending over a wide area, in addition also use differential
current monitoring devices (residual current monitors - RCM).
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock of fire when using unsuitable residual current devices
The inverter can cause a current to flow in the protective conductor.
This current can cause the residual current device (RCD) or residual current monitoring
(RCM) to incorrectly trip (nuisance trip). In the case of a fault (ground fault), the fault current
can contain a DC component, which prevents the RCD/RCM from tripping, with the risk of
subsequent electric shock or fire.
• Use the protection and monitoring devices recommended in the documentation.
Note
Operation on residual-current operated circuit breakers is currently only possible with Line
Modules up to and including 36 kW.
● If you connect residual-current devices in series, then they must all have the same
characteristics.
● Ensure that the switching elements (disconnector unit, contactors) for connecting and
disconnecting the drive system have max. 35 ms delay time between the closing/opening
of the individual main contacts.
Recommendation
SIEMENS selectively switching AC/DC-sensitive residual-current circuit-breakers according
to EN 61009-1 of the 5SM series (e.g. 5SM3646-5 or 5SM3646-5+5SW3300 with an
auxiliary disconnector (1 NC contact / 1 NO contact) for a rated current of 63 A and rated
fault current of 0.3 A (see Catalog "BETA Modular Installation Devices - ET B1")).
Note
AC or pulse-sensitive RCCBs are not suitable.
WARNING
Fire hazard and danger of a plant standstill when residual currents occur
Residual currents in the power supply that are not detected can cause fires and failures in
the entire system.
• Always install residual-current monitors in conjunction with suitable circuit breakers.
Recommendation
The subsequently listed products are recommended:
● AC/DC-sensitive differential current monitoring device RCMA423-D-2, Bender company,
the 230 V supply voltage is tapped using an upstream isolating transformer
● Measuring current transformer W120AB (120 mm) or W210AB (210 mm), Bender
company
● Circuit breaker with thermal overload release, short-circuit release, and undervoltage
release
NOTICE
Damage to the drive electronics when switching the line contactor under load
When switching the line contactor (type according to the recommended selection) under
load, then the contacts will be subject to premature wear. This can cause the contactor to
malfunction, with subsequent damage to the drive electronics.
• Use a leading opening auxiliary contact or use a Voltage Sensing Module (VSM10).
• If this is not possible, then avoid switching the line contactor under load.
Note
If you are using a VSM10 Voltage Sensing Module, the leading opening contact can be
omitted.
Note
To limit the switching overvoltage, the contactor coil must be connected to a surge
suppression device (e.g. free-wheeling diode or varistor).
When the digital output is used to control the line contactor, its switching capacity must be
taken into account.
WARNING
Danger to life if the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks are not carefully
observed
If the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks in Chapter 1 (Page 27) are not
observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death may occur.
• Adhere to the fundamental safety instructions.
• When assessing the risk, take into account residual risks.
DANGER
Danger to life through electric shock due to the residual charge of the power component
capacitors
Because of the capacitors, a hazardous voltage is present for up to 5 minutes after the
power supply has been switched off.
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Wait for 5 minutes before you check that the unit really is in a no voltage condition and
start work.
WARNING
Danger to life caused by high leakage currents when the protective conductor in the line
feeder cable is interrupted
The drive components conduct a high leakage current via the protective conductor.
Touching conductive parts when the protective conductor is interrupted can result in death
or serious injury.
• Carefully comply with the applicable regulations for dimensioning the protective
conductor (see Chapter "Protective connection and equipotential bonding (Page 736)").
CAUTION
Risk of burns due to high surface temperatures
The surface of the components can reach high temperatures. You can get seriously burnt
when touching the surface.
• Do not touch the component.
NOTICE
Line filter damage by connecting to impermissible line supplies
The line filters are only suitable for direct connection to line supplies with grounded neutral
point. Connecting the line filter to other line supplies will destroy the line filter.
• Only connect the line filter to line supplies with grounded neutral point.
NOTICE
Line filter damage due to interchanged connections
The line filter will be damaged if the input and output connections are interchanged.
• Connect the incoming line supply cable to LINE L1, L2, L3.
• Connect the outgoing line to line reactor at LOAD L1´, L2´, L3´ (U, V, W).
NOTICE
Damage to the system caused by a line filter that is not permissible
A line filter that is not permissible can cause system damage.
• Only use the line filter with the components specified in Chapter Combination options,
Line Modules with line reactors and line filters (Page 135).
NOTICE
Destruction or damage to components by incorrectly connecting the line filter
When incorrectly connecting the line filter, these components can be destroyed or
damaged.
• Only connect the Line Module to the SINAMICS line filter via the associated line reactor.
• Connect additional loads upstream of the SINAMICS line filter (if required, via a
separate line filter).
Note
Disconnect the line filter for a high-voltage test
If a high-voltage test is conducted with alternating voltage in the system, the existing line
filters must be disconnected in order to obtain accurate measurements.
Note
Length of connecting cables
The connecting cables between the line filter via the Active Interface Module and the line
reactor to the Line Module must be kept as short as possible (max. 10 m).
Use shielded connection cables. whose cable shields are attached at both ends.
Shielding can only be omitted if the following conditions are met:
• The cables do not exceed 1 m in length.
• The cables are laid flush with the rear metal wall of the control cabinet.
• The cables are laid in a way that keeps them physically separate from signal cables.
Cables must be routed with a minimum clearance of 200 mm to the filter.
NOTICE
Damage caused by connecting several loads to the same line infeed point
Damage can be caused if several loads are connected to the same line infeed point.
• Provide interference suppression for the other loads using appropriate line filters. To
prevent mutual interference, it is not permissible that this line filter is equipped with
capacitors with respect to ground. A series B84144A*R120 filter (EPCOS) is
recommended.
NOTICE
Damage caused by using third party filters
According to product standard EN 61800-3, RFI suppression commensurate with the
relevant rated conditions must be provided and is a legal requirement in the EU (EMC
Directive). Line filters and line reactors are required in order to comply with this standard.
The use of filters of other makes can lead to limit value violations, resonances,
overvoltages, and irreparable damage to motors or other equipment.
• The machine manufacturer must provide verification that the machine equipped with the
drive products and the installed suppression elements, e.g. line filters, is EMC-compliant
before the machines are placed in the market.
Line filter ranges that are coordinated with the different power stages are available for the
SINAMICS S120 drive system. These line filters differ with regard to the frequency range in
which they reduce the conducted emissions.
The line filter versions listed below are available for use with Line Modules.

Note
Use of unshielded cables for short distances
Shielded cables should always be routed from the line filter via the Active Interface Module
to the Active Line Module. Because the bending radiuses cannot be maintained for short
distances, unshielded cables can also be used for cable lengths less than 1 m.
The Basic Line Filters can be used in accordance with the following general conditions for
ensuring CE conformity with regard to cable-borne interference:
● The machine/system must only be used in industrial line supplies
● Only connect the Basic Line Filters to TN systems; otherwise an isolating transformer will
be required
● Number of axes ≤ 12 when using a Basic Line Filter with an Active Line Module and a line
reactor
Overview

3.7.4.1 Description
Wideband Line Filters for Active Line Modules are mainly effective in the frequency range
from 150 kHz to 30 MHz; this is the range relevant to ensure compliance with the appropriate
standard. Wideband Line Filters can also effectively limit low-frequency line harmonics of
2 kHz and above; this protects additional loads connected to the same supply system
against disturbances and damage. As a result, these line filters have an extended function
range, with which a certain degree of independence can be achieved regarding the machine
installation location with generally unknown line supply parameters (e.g. line impedance).
Wideband line filters must always be used in conjunction with a line reactor for Active Line
Modules. Active Interface Modules cannot be used.
Data regarding the radio interference voltage categories and maximum total cable lengths
that can be achieved1) see Chapter Combination options, Line Modules with line reactors
and line filters (Page 135).

observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death may occur.
• Adhere to the fundamental safety instructions.
• When assessing the risk, take into account residual risks.
DANGER
Danger to life through electric shock due to the residual charge of the filter capacitors
Because of the filter capacitors, a hazardous voltage is present for up to 5 minutes after the
power supply has been switched off.
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Do not open the protective cover of an AIM 80 kW and AIM 120 kW until 5 minutes have
elapsed.
• Always measure the voltage at the line and load connecting terminals before starting
any work.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to unconnected cable shields
Hazardous touch voltages can occur through capacitive cross-coupling due to unconnected
cable shields.
• Connect cable shields and the conductors of power cables that are not used (e.g. brake
conductors) at both ends at the grounded housing potential.
WARNING
Danger to life caused by high leakage currents when the protective conductor in the line
feeder cable is interrupted
The drive components conduct a high leakage current via the protective conductor.
Touching conductive parts when the protective conductor is interrupted can result in death
or serious injury.
• Carefully comply with the applicable regulations for dimensioning the protective
conductor (see Chapter "Protective connection and equipotential bonding (Page 736)").
WARNING
Fire hazard due to overheating when permissible cable lengths are exceeded
Excessively long cable lengths can cause components to overheat with the associated risk
of fire and smoke.
• The total cable length between an Active Interface Module and Active Line Module as
well as between an Active Interface Module and Basic Line Filter must not exceed 10 m.
NOTICE
Destruction of the Active Interface Module through incorrect settings made during
commissioning
The Active Interface Module can be destroyed through incorrect settings in the software.
• Do not use any SINAMICS firmware version less than V2.5.
• Operate Active Interface Modules only with the following settings in the commissioning
wizard:
– Set the "Line filter available" option for the Active Line Module.
– Select line filter "AIM 400 V ..kW (6SL3100-0BE..-.AB.)".
With firmware version SINAMICS V2.5, the default setting in STARTER/SCOUT is
"Wideband Line Filter". Switchover parameter p0220 to "AIM" (see SINAMICS
S120/S150 List Manual).
In conjunction with SINAMICS from V2.6 and higher, the appropriate Active Interface
Module is already preset by running the wizard in STARTER.
NOTICE
Destruction of the Active Interface Module through incorrect or missing wiring
The Active Interface Module can be destroyed through incorrect wiring or a missing 24 V
supply.
• Before commissioning the Active Interface Module, it is essential to connect the 24 V
DC at connector X124 to supply the fans.
• Connect the temperature signaling contact of the Active Interface Module to the
temperature input of the associated Active Line Module.
NOTICE
Damage caused by overheating as a result of an inadmissible mounting position
When incorrectly mounted, the Active Interface Module can overheat and therefore be
damaged.
• Only operate the Active Interface Module in a vertical position with the line connection at
the bottom.
Note
Functional disturbances as a result of line supply disturbances
The devices have been tested for standard line supplies according to EN 61800-3. For line
supplies with significant disturbances (e.g. total harmonic distortion (THD) > 8 %; very high
percentage of switching peaks in the range > 1 kV), the filter of the line-up can be
overloaded as a result of the additional filter power.
• Decouple the drive line-ups using suitable measures:
– Using a Basic Line Filter
– Use an HFD line reactor with damping resistor instead of an Active Interface Module
3.9.3.1 Overview
Note
Maintaining touch protection for Active Interface Modules 36 kW
The connection terminals of the 36 kW Active Interface Module are only certain to have
touch protection IPXXB according to IEC 60529, if cables with a minimum cross-section of
25 mm² and insulated end sleeves are used.
Note
If terminal X121.4 is not connected (or connected with low level), the fan will run in the
continuous mode.
Note
The two "+" and "M" terminals are jumpered in the connector. This ensures the supply
voltage is looped through.

3.9.6 Installation
The Active Interface Modules are designed for installation in the control cabinet. The Active
Interface Modules should if possible be mounted directly next to the Active Line Module.
① Mounting panel
② Washer
③ M6 screws, Torx T30 (not hexagon-head screws)
IT line system
In IT systems, all live parts are isolated from ground, or one point is connected to ground
through an impedance. Housings of loads in the electrical plant or system are either
individually grounded, jointly grounded or are all connected to the system ground.
Only Line Modules without a line filter are to be operated on this system type. The emitted
interference can exceed the limit values of category C3. The Active Interface Module must
be set for operation on an IT line system.
Operating an Active Interface Module on an isolated-neutral line supply (IT line supply)
Note
When an Active Interface Module is operated on an isolated-neutral line supply (IT system),
the connecting screw for the interference suppression capacitor in the Active Interface
Module must be removed. It is located on the lower side of the component.
If it is not removed, then the insulation monitor will respond.
DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock when the connecting screw is removed
Because of the capacitors, a hazardous voltage is present at the connecting screw for up to
5 minutes after the power supply has been switched off.
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Wait 5 min. after the supply has been switched off before removing the connecting
screw.
1. Remove the connecting screw to the noise suppression 2. Connecting screw to the noise suppression capacitor
capacitor using a Tx25 screwdriver (M5x55)
Note
Insert the connecting screw to the noise suppression capacitor
For operation in other line supplies, the connecting screw must be reinstalled and fixed with
a tightening torque of 1.8 Nm.

Note
Ideally, new systems using Active Line Modules should be designed with Active Interface
Modules as line connection components.
Table 3- 29 Combination options, Smart Line Modules with line filters and line reactors
Table 3- 30 Combination options, Basic Line Modules with line filters and line reactors
Note
Permissible line supplies
In combination with the drive system, the motors are generally approved for operation on TN
and TT line systems with grounded neutral point and on IT line systems.
DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock if isolating transformer is omitted
To maintain safe electrical separation, for high voltages, an isolating transformer must be
used.
• Install an isolating transformer for voltages > 480 V +10%.
WARNING
Fire hazard for the motor due to overload of the insulation
There is higher stress on the motor insulation as a result of a ground fault in an IT line
system or a line system with grounded line conductor.
TT line supply systems generally have a grounded line conductor.
A possible result is the failure of the insulation with a risk for personnel as a result of smoke
and fire.
• For IT line supplies, use a monitoring device that signals an insulation fault.
• Correct the fault as quickly as possible in IT systems so the motor insulation is not
overloaded.
• For line supplies with grounded line conductor, use an isolating transformer with
grounded neutral point (on the secondary) between the line supply and the drive
system.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock as well as fire hazard due to overcurrent protective
devices that either do not trip – or trip too late
Overcurrent protective devices that do not trip or trip too late can cause an electric shock or
fire.
• To protect personnel and for fire protection purposes, at the infeed point, the system
fault level and loop impedance must correspond to the specifications in the
documentation in order for the installed overcurrent protection devices to trip within the
specified time.
NOTICE
Destruction or damage to additional loads as a result of undesirable line harmonics
Line harmonics can occur if line filters that differ from those listed in this manual are used.
These can destroy or damage other loads connected to the line supply.
• Only use line filters that are listed in this Manual.
NOTICE
Destruction or damage to additional loads as a result of incorrect connection
When incorrectly connecting the line filter, other loads can be destroyed or damaged.
• Connect additional loads upstream of the SINAMICS line filter (if required, via a
separate line filter).
Note
If, for Line Modules, a transformer is used, this does not replace the external line reactor.
Module Description1)
Basic Line Module Operation on line supplies from SK line/Pn ≥ 30
Smart Line Module Operation on line supplies from SK line/Pn ≥ 70
Active Line Modules with Active Interface Modules Operation on line supplies from SK line/Pn ≥ 302)
Active Line Module Operation on line supplies from SK line/Pn ≥ 70
1) SK line = short-circuit power of the line supply; Pn = rated power of the Line Module
2) Applies only for operation in the active mode. For line supplies 3-ph 480 VAC ±10%, it must be
checked as to whether the motor systems are suitable for this mode.
If a TN system is required on the secondary side, for example, when using a Wideband Line
Filter, a transformer with grounded neutral point must be used. However, the loop resistance
must be small enough to trigger the fuses as fast as required. Also see Chapter Overcurrent
protection using line fuses and circuit breakers (Page 51).
Note
System fault level at the infeed point
In order to comply with EMC limit values, Category C2 according to EN 61800-3, the system
fault level at the infeed point must be at least a factor 70 higher than the rated power of the
integrated infeed.
Vector group
Any vector group with the neutral point brought out on the secondary side.
Figure 3-64 Operation of a Line Module and additional loads via an isolating transformer
Supplementary condition
Limitation a)
The rated power of the matching transformer Sn1 must as a minimum always be a factor of
1.27 higher than the rated power Pn of the Line Module.
Sn1 ≥ 1.27 • Pn
Example:
The minimum rated power of a matching transformer for a 16 kW Line Modules is 21 kVA.
Limitations b)
In order to avoid faults and disturbances at the other loads that are connected to the
secondary side of the matching transformer, the short-circuit power of the plant connection
(SK factory) and that of the matching transformer at the connection point (SK line) must reach at
least the following values.
SK line ≥ 70 • Pn (for Active Line Module and Smart Line Module)
SK line ≥ 30 • Pn (for Basic Line Module)
Special case:
When operating with only one supply at a transformer, the values may be reduced to a factor
0.73.
SK line ≥ 0.73 • 70 • Pn (for Active Line Module and Smart Line Module)
SK line ≥ 0.73 • 30 • Pn (for Basic Line Module)
For example SK line for 16 kW Active Line Module: SK line = 0.82 MVA = 820 kVA
The required rated power of the matching transformer can be calculated with the following
formula.
Note:
The short-circuit power at the plant connection SK factory plays a decisive role in dimensioning
the matching transformer.
From the rated power (Sn1 or Sn2) calculated under a) and b), the higher value must be used
for the matching transformer.

factory.
Example 1
uk matching transformer = 3 %
SK factory = 50000 kVA
SK line = 16 kW • 70 • 0.73 = 820 kVA
According to a)
Sn1 = 1.27 • 16 kW = 21 kVA
According to b)
Example 2:
uk matching transformer = 1 %
SK factory = 50000 kVA
SK line = 16 kW • 70 • 0.73 = 820 kVA
According to a)
Sn1 = 1.27 • 16 kW = 21 kVA
According to b)
Example 3:
If SK factory is smaller, the transformer must be stronger.
uk matching transformer = 3 %
SK factory = 3000 kVA
SK line = 16 kW • 70 • 0.73 = 820 kVA
According to a)
Sn1 = 1.27 • 16 kW = 21 kVA
According to b)
Example 4:
If SK factory is lower, you can use, alternatively to example 3, a transformer with a lower uk.
uk matching transformer = 1%,
SK factory = 3000 kVA
SK line = 16 kW • 70 • 0.73 = 820 kVA
According to a)
Sn1 = 1.27 • 16 kW = 21 kVA
According to b)
Note
Sn2 for the matching transformer can be reduced by reducing uk. In the examples above, the
power drawn from other loads has not been taken into account.
WARNING
Danger to life if the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks are not carefully
observed
If the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks in Chapter 1 (Page 27) are not
observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death may occur.
• Adhere to the fundamental safety instructions.
• When assessing the risk, take into account residual risks.
DANGER
Danger to life through electric shock due to a high DC link voltage
As long as the Line Module is connected to the line supply, the DC link is charged with a
high voltage. A hazardous voltage can be present independent of the status of the LED
"DC LINK" Contact with live parts (at a voltage) can result in death or serious injury.
• Isolate the Line Module from the line supply during installation or maintenance work,
e.g. via the line contactor or main switch.
• Observe the warning information on the component.
DANGER
Danger to life through electric shock due to the residual charge of the DC link capacitors
Because of the DC link capacitors, a hazardous voltage is present for up to five minutes
after the power supply has been switched off.
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Do not open the protective cover of the DC link until 5 minutes have elapsed.
• Measure the voltage before starting work on the DCP and DCN DC link terminals.
DANGER
Danger to life through electric shock when the protective cover of the DC link is open
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Only operate the components with closed protective cover.
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock and fire hazard caused by overcurrent protective
equipment tripping too late
Overcurrent protective equipment that trips too late or not all can cause electric shock or
fire.
• To protect personnel and for fire protection purposes, at the infeed point, the short-
circuit rating and loop impedance must match the specifications in the documentation so
that the installed overcurrent protection devices trip within the specified time.
WARNING
Danger to life caused by high leakage currents when the protective conductor in the line
feeder cable is interrupted
The drive components conduct a high leakage current via the protective conductor.
Touching conductive parts when the protective conductor is interrupted can result in death
or serious injury.
• Carefully comply with the applicable regulations for dimensioning the protective
conductor (see Chapter "Protective connection and equipotential bonding (Page 736)").
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to incorrect connection to the DC link
Incorrect connections can lead to overheating and therefore a risk of fire. There is also a
risk of an electric shock. This can result in serious injury or death.
• Only use adapters (DC link adapters and DC link rectifier adapters) released by
Siemens for the connection to the DC link.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to incorrectly installed DC link bridges
Incorrectly installed DC link bridges at the left-hand end of the drive line-up can cause an
electric shock.
• For all 50 mm wide modules1) (exception: Smart Line Module2)), remove the DC link
bridge, including the screws. Do not tighten the screws without the DC link bridges.
• For all components that are 75 mm wide or wider, the DC link bridges may neither be
swung over to the left nor removed3).
1) For 50 mm wide modules, the DC link bridge cannot be swung inwards.
2) Smart Line modules do not have a DC link bridge.
3) The DC link bridge guarantees the mechanical stability of the DC link busbars.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to missing DC link side covers
There is a danger of an electric shock through contact when the side covers of the DC link
are missing.
• Mount the side covers on the first and last component in the drive line-up.
• Order any missing side covers (Article number: 6SL3162-5AA00-0AA0).
WARNING
Fire hazard due to overheating because of inadequate ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause components to overheat. This can result in
severe injury or death due to fire and smoke. This can also result in more downtimes and
reduced service lives of Line Modules.
• Maintain the 80 mm clearances above and below the Line Modules.
• For the 80 kW and 120 kW Active Line Modules, in addition to the specified minimum
clearances, a ventilation clearance of 50 mm must also be maintained in front of the fan.
WARNING
Fire hazard due to overheating when the required cable cross-sections of power cables is
fallen below
Power cables with excessively low cross-sections can cause them to overheat. This can
result in severe injury or death due to fire and smoke.
• Only use power cables with sufficiently large cross-sections. Take into account the
routing type, ambient temperature and cable length.
WARNING
Fire hazard due to overheating when the total length of the power cables is exceeded
Overheating can result when the total length of the power cables is exceeded. This can
result in severe injury or death due to fire and smoke.
• Ensure that the total length of all power cables (motor supply cables and DC link cables)
does not exceed the values specified in Section Combination options, Line Modules with
line reactors and line filters (Page 135).
NOTICE
Damage to the drive electronics when switching the line contactor under load
When switching the line contactor (type according to the recommended selection) under
load, then the contacts will be subject to premature wear. This can cause the contactor to
malfunction, with subsequent damage to the drive electronics.
• Use a leading opening auxiliary contact or use a Voltage Sensing Module (VSM10).
• If this is not possible, then avoid switching the line contactor under load.
NOTICE
Damage through use of incorrect DRIVE-CLiQ cables
Damage or malfunctions can occur on the devices or system when DRIVE-CLiQ cables are
used that are either incorrect or have not been approved for this purpose.
• Only use suitable DRIVE-CLiQ cables that have been approved by Siemens for the
particular application.
Note
Operation on line supplies where energy recovery is not possible
In line supply systems without energy recovery capability (e.g. a diesel generator), device
faults can occur as the braking energy cannot be dissipated.
• Deactivate the energy recovery function of the Active Line Modules and Smart Line
Modules using parameter p3533.
• The braking energy must then be dissipated via an additional Braking Module with
braking resistor in the drive line-up.
Exception: For 5 kW and 10 kW Smart Line Modules, you must deactivate the energy
recovery function as follows:
• Jumper between terminals X22.1 and X22.2
• Ground at X22.4
Note
Malfunctions due to polluted DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces
Malfunctions can occur in the system through the use of polluted DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces.
• Cover unused DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces with the supplied blanking covers.
Note
Component failure due to the pollution of external heat sinks
For components with external air cooling, the fan and the heat sinks can accumulate a lot of
pollution. If the cooling air requirement is not provided by the filtered fan, the components
cannot output their specified power. This can cause the temperature monitoring function in
the components to respond.
• Check the fans and heat sinks for pollution at regular intervals and clean them when
necessary.
Note
Checking the seal
• After installation, check the seal on the rear of the device to ensure that it is tight.
• If required, use additional sealing.
Note
Using an installation frame
• Only use an installation frame when the cabinet has an unpainted metal surface.
The DC link capacitances of the individual components can be taken from the relevant
technical data.
4.3.1 Description
Active Line Modules generate a constant, regulated DC voltage in the DC link from the 3-
phase line supply voltage that supplies the connected Motor Modules with power.
This ensures that they are not influenced by line voltage fluctuations.
When motors brake, Active Line Modules feed energy back into the line supply. The
regenerative feedback capability of the modules can be deactivated by parameterization.
The DC link starts precharging as soon as the line voltage is applied and is independent of
its phase sequence direction. Load can be applied to the DC link after the module has been
enabled.
A line contactor can be installed on the line side if the system has to be electrically isolated
from the line supply.
Active Line Modules can be directly connected to TN, IT and TT systems. The Line Modules
have an integrated overvoltage protection function.

When motors brake, Active Line Modules feed energy back into the line supply. The
regenerative feedback capability of the modules can be deactivated by parameterization.
The DC link starts precharging as soon as the line voltage is applied and is independent of
its phase sequence direction. Load can be applied to the DC link after the module has been
enabled.
A line contactor can be installed on the line side if the system has to be electrically isolated
from the line supply.
Active Line Modules can be directly connected to TN, IT and TT systems. The Line Modules

Damage to the drive electronics when switching the line contactor under load
When switching the line contactor (type according to the recommended selection) under
load, then the contacts will be subject to premature wear. This can cause the contactor to
malfunction, with subsequent damage to the drive electronics.
• Use a leading opening auxiliary contact or use a Voltage Sensing Module (VSM10).
• If this is not possible, then avoid switching the line contactor under load.
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock in the event of voltage flashovers at the temperature
sensor
Voltage flashovers in the signal electronics can occur in motors without safe electrical
separation of the temperature sensors.
• Use temperature sensors that comply with the specifications relating to protective
separation.
• If safe electrical separation cannot be guaranteed (for linear motors or third-party

4.7.1 Description
The Basic Line Modules generate a non-regulated DC voltage, which matches the rectified
line input voltage, from the 3-phase line voltage and feed this DC voltage into the DC link.
One Basic Line Module can supply one or more Motor Modules with power via the DC link.
To reduce the energy, e.g. for emergency retraction, the 20 kW and 40 kW Basic Line
Modules feature a control for an external braking resistor.
For 100 kW Basic Line Modules, an external braking unit is required for degradation of
energy. Either Braking Modules Booksize Compact (also in a parallel connection) or a
MASTERDRIVES braking unit (see Chapter "Braking units for 100 kW Basic Line Modules
(Page 517)") can be used.
A line contactor can be installed on the line side if the system has to be electrically isolated
from the line supply.
Basic Line Modules are suitable for direct operation on TN, IT and TT systems. The Line
Modules have an integrated overvoltage protection function.
The 100 kW Basic Line Module features basic interference suppression, the 20 kW and
40 kW Basic Line Modules do not.
The ratio between the line short-circuit power (system fault level) and the rated power must
be ≥ 30.
Data regarding the radio interference voltage categories and maximum total cable lengths
that can be achieved, see Chapter Combination options, Line Modules with line reactors and

4.9.1 Description
The Smart Line Module is a non-regulated infeed/regenerative feedback unit. The Smart
Line Module supplies the Motor Module with a non-regulated DC voltage at the DC output. In
the infeed mode the Smart Line Module exhibits the typical current and voltage waveforms of
a 6-pulse diode rectifier bridge.
In feedback mode, the current waveform is square waved. Regenerative feedback can be
deactivated if required. On 5 kW and 10 kW Smart Line Modules, this is realized via a
terminal, since these modules do not feature a DRIVE-CLiQ connection. On 16 kW to 55 kW
Smart Line Modules, regenerative feedback can be deactivated via parameters, as, just like
Active Line Modules, these modules are equipped with a DRIVE-CLiQ connection.
The DC link starts precharging as soon as the line voltage is applied and is independent of
its phase sequence direction. Load can be applied to the DC link after the module has been
enabled.
A line contactor can be installed on the line side if the system has to be electrically isolated
from the line supply.
Smart Line Modules are suitable for direct operation on TN, IT and TT systems. The Line
Modules have an integrated overvoltage protection function.
NOTICE
Destruction of the Smart Line Module for an incorrect switch-on or switch-off sequence
It is essential that an appropriate switch-on and switch-of sequence (Page 263) is complied
with in order to control the 5 kW and 10 kW Smart Line Modules; if this sequence is not
observed, the Smart Line Module could be damaged beyond repair.
• Comply with the specified switching sequence.
Note
Connected to the public low-voltage network
Smart Line Modules have been designed for use in the industrial environment and generate
current harmonics on the line side as a result of the rectifier circuit.
When connecting a machine with integrated Smart Line Modules to the public low-voltage
line supply (grid), authorization is required in advance from the local power supply company
(utility company) in the following cases:
• The rated current of the motor ≤ 16 A per conductor.
• The rated motor current does not comply with the requirements specified in EN 61000-3-
2 regarding current harmonics.

Figure 4-65 Interface overview, 36 kW and 55 kW Smart Line Modules with internal air cooling (example: 55 kW)
Note
Wiring to a digital input of the Control Unit
Output terminal X21.1 must be wired to a digital input on the CU. The drives supplied with
power from the Smart Line Module have to use this signal as a ready signal. This ensures
that a pulse enable can only be issued for the drives (motor or generator operation) when the
infeed is ready.
If interconnection with a digital input on the CU is not possible, the signal must be evaluated
by a higher-level control system instead. It is not permissible that the control system sets the
drives to ready until the infeed "Ready" signal is present.
Note
Evaluating the "Prewarning" signal
The "Prewarning" signal at output terminal X21.2 warns against an overload. If this signal is
set to low, the control system shuts the drives down before the "Ready" signal switches to
low. If the "Ready" signal switches to "low", the drive pulses must be suppressed within
4 ms.
Note
The Smart Line Module signals "Ready" (X21.1 = High), even if one of the line conductor
voltages is not available. In this case, regenerative feedback is deactivated and an alarm is
output at X21.2 (DO, Warning I2t low signal).
If regenerative feedback was deactivated by applying a "high" signal to terminal X22.2 (DI,
Disable), no alarm will be output at X21.2 (DO, Warning I2t).
NOTICE
Damage to the drive electronics when switching the line contactor under load
When switching the line contactor (type according to the recommended selection) under
load, then the contacts will be subject to premature wear. This can cause the contactor to
malfunction, with subsequent damage to the drive electronics.
• Use a leading opening auxiliary contact or use a Voltage Sensing Module (VSM10).

Note
Wiring to a digital input of the Control Unit
Output terminal X21.1 must be wired to a digital input on the CU. The drives supplied with
power from the Smart Line Module have to use this signal as a ready signal. This ensures
that a pulse enable can only be issued for the drives (motor or generator operation) when the
infeed is ready.
If interconnection with a digital input on the CU is not possible, the signal must be evaluated
by a higher-level control system instead. It is not permissible that the control system sets the
drives to ready until the infeed "Ready" signal is present.
Note
Evaluating the "Prewarning" signal
The "Prewarning" signal at output terminal X21.2 warns against an overload. If this signal is
set to low, the control system shuts the drives down before the "Ready" signal switches to
low. If the "Ready" signal switches to "low", the drive pulses must be suppressed within
4 ms.
Note
The Smart Line Module signals "Ready" (X21.1 = High), even if one of the line conductor
voltages is not available. In this case, regenerative feedback is deactivated and an alarm is
output at X21.2 (DO, Warning I2t low signal).
If regenerative feedback was deactivated by applying a "high" signal to terminal X22.2 (DI,
Disable), no alarm will be output at X21.2 (DO, Warning I2t).
NOTICE
Damage to the drive electronics when switching the line contactor under load
When switching the line contactor (type according to the recommended selection) under
load, then the contacts will be subject to premature wear. This can cause the contactor to
malfunction, with subsequent damage to the drive electronics.
• Use a leading opening auxiliary contact or use a Voltage Sensing Module (VSM10).
• If this is not possible, then avoid switching the line contactor under load.
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock in the event of voltage flashovers on the temperature
sensor cable
Voltage flashovers in the signal electronics can occur in motors without safe electrical
separation of the temperature sensors.
• Only use temperature sensors that fully comply with the specifications of protective
separation.
• If safe electrical separation cannot be guaranteed (for linear motors or third-party
motors, for example), use a Sensor Module External (SME120 or SME125) or Terminal
Module TM120.
NOTICE
Damage to motor in the event of incorrectly connected KTY temperature sensor
A KTY temperature sensor connected with incorrect polarity cannot detect if the motor
overheats. Overheating can cause damage to the motor.
• Connect the KTY temperature sensor with the correct polarity.

4.10.9.1 Characteristics
4.11.1 Description
The Smart Line Module is a non-regulated infeed/regenerative feedback unit. The Smart
Line Module supplies the Motor Module with a non-regulated DC voltage at the DC output. In
the infeed mode the Smart Line Module exhibits the typical current and voltage waveforms of
a 6-pulse diode rectifier bridge.
In feedback mode, the current waveform is square waved. Feedback can be deactivated by
means of a terminal because these Smart Line Modules are not equipped with a DRIVE-
CLiQ connection.
The DC link starts precharging as soon as the line voltage is applied and is independent of
its phase sequence direction. Load can be applied to the DC link after the module has been
enabled.
A line contactor can be installed on the line side if the system has to be electrically isolated
from the line supply.
Smart Line Modules are suitable for direct operation on TN, IT and TT systems. The Line
Modules have an integrated overvoltage protection function.
NOTICE
Destruction of the Smart Line Module for an incorrect switch-on or switch-off sequence
It is essential that an appropriate switch-on and switch-of sequence (Page 314) is complied
with in order to control the 5 kW and 10 kW Smart Line Modules; if this sequence is not
observed, the Smart Line Module could be damaged beyond repair.
• Comply with the specified switching sequence.
Note
Connected to the public low-voltage network
Smart Line Modules have been designed for use in the industrial environment and generate
current harmonics on the line side as a result of the rectifier circuit.
When connecting a machine with integrated Smart Line Modules to the public low-voltage
line supply (grid), authorization is required in advance from the local power supply company
(utility company) in the following cases:
• The rated current of the motor ≤ 16 A per conductor.
• The rated motor current does not comply with the requirements specified in EN 61000-3-
2 regarding current harmonics.
Switching on
● 24 V DC supply X24 ON
● Line contactor ON
● EP signal X21.3 and X21.4 ON
● Wait until precharging has been completed
● "Ready" signal at terminal X21.1 switched to high
● Infeed is ready, pulse enable possible for motors
Switching off
● Shut drives down
● Cancel pulse enable for motors (OFF1 signal)
● EP signal X21.3 and X21.4 OFF
● Line contactor OFF
● 24 V DC supply X24 OFF
Overload
● "Prewarning" signal at terminal X21.2 switches to low
● Shut drives down via the control system
● "Ready" signal at terminal X21.1 switches to low
● Pulse inhibit for all the drives supplied by this infeed within 4 ms
4.11.4.1 Overview
Figure 4-89 Interface overview, Smart Line Module with cold plate (example: 5 kW)
Note
Wiring to a digital input of the Control Unit
Output terminal X21.1 must be wired to a digital input on the CU. The drives supplied with
power from the Smart Line Module have to use this signal as a ready signal. This ensures
that a pulse enable can only be issued for the drives (motor or generator operation) when the
infeed is ready.
If interconnection with a digital input on the CU is not possible, the signal must be evaluated
by a higher-level control system instead. It is not permissible that the control system sets the
drives to ready until the infeed "Ready" signal is present.
Note
Evaluating the "Prewarning" signal
The "Prewarning" signal at output terminal X21.2 warns against an overload. If this signal is
set to low, the control system shuts the drives down before the "Ready" signal switches to
low. If the "Ready" signal switches to "low", the drive pulses must be suppressed within
4 ms.
Note
The Smart Line Module signals "Ready" (X21.1 = "High"), even if one of the line conductor
voltages is not available. In this case, regenerative feedback is deactivated and an alarm is
output at X21.2 (DO, Warning I2t low signal).
If regenerative feedback was deactivated by applying a "high" signal to terminal X22.2 (DI,
Disable), no alarm will be output at X21.2 (DO, Warning I2t).
NOTICE
Damage to the drive electronics when switching the line contactor under load
When switching the line contactor (type according to the recommended selection) under
load, then the contacts will be subject to premature wear. This can cause the contactor to
malfunction, with subsequent damage to the drive electronics.
• Use a leading opening auxiliary contact or use a Voltage Sensing Module (VSM10).
• If this is not possible, then avoid switching the line contactor under load.

5.2.1 Description
The Smart Line Module booksize compact is a non-regulated infeed/regenerative feedback
unit. The Smart Line Module supplies the Motor Module with a non-regulated DC voltage at
the DC output. In the infeed mode the Smart Line Module exhibits the typical current and
voltage waveforms of a 6-pulse diode rectifier bridge.
In feedback mode, the current waveform is square waved. The regenerative feedback can
be deactivated by means of parameters.
A line contactor can be installed on the line side if the system has to be electrically isolated
from the line supply.
The Smart Line Module in booksize compact format can be used with cooling types "internal
air cooling" or "cold plate". The cooling type is selected by parameter (see the SINAMICS
S120/S150 List Manual).
Smart Line Modules are suitable for direct operation in TN, IT, and TT systems. The Line
Modules have an integrated overvoltage protection function.

observed
If the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks in Chapter 1 (Page 27) are not
observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death may occur.
• Adhere to the fundamental safety instructions.
• When assessing the risk, take into account residual risks.
DANGER
Danger to life through electric shock due to a high DC link voltage
As long as the Line Module is connected to the line supply, the DC link is charged with a
high voltage. A hazardous voltage can be present independent of the status of the LED
"DC LINK" Contact with live parts (at a voltage) can result in death or serious injury.
• Isolate the Line Module from the line supply during installation or maintenance work,
e.g. via the line contactor or main switch.
• Observe the warning information on the component.
DANGER
Danger to life through electric shock due to the residual charge of the DC link capacitors
Because of the DC link capacitors, a hazardous voltage is present for up to five minutes
after the power supply has been switched off.
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Do not open the protective cover of the DC link until 5 minutes have elapsed.
• Measure the voltage before starting work on the DCP and DCN DC link terminals.
DANGER
Danger to life through electric shock when the protective cover of the DC link is open
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Only operate the components with closed protective cover.
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock and fire hazard caused by overcurrent protective
equipment tripping too late
Overcurrent protective equipment that trips too late or not all can cause electric shock or
fire.
• To protect personnel and for fire protection purposes, at the infeed point, the short-
circuit rating and loop impedance must match the specifications in the documentation so
that the installed overcurrent protection devices trip within the specified time.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to incorrect connection to the DC link
Incorrect connections can lead to overheating and therefore a risk of fire. There is also a
risk of an electric shock. This can result in serious injury or death.
• Only use adapters (DC link adapters and DC link rectifier adapters) released by
Siemens for the connection to the DC link.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to missing DC link side covers
There is a danger of an electric shock through contact when the side covers of the DC link
are missing.
• Mount the side covers on the first and last component in the drive line-up.
• Order any missing side covers (Article number: 6SL3162-5AA00-0AA0).
WARNING
Danger to life caused by high leakage currents when the protective conductor in the line
feeder cable is interrupted
The drive components conduct a high leakage current via the protective conductor.
Touching conductive parts when the protective conductor is interrupted can result in death
or serious injury.
• Carefully comply with the applicable regulations for dimensioning the protective
conductor (see Chapter "Protective connection and equipotential bonding (Page 736)").
WARNING
Fire hazard due to overheating because of inadequate ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause components to overheat. This can result in
severe injury or death due to fire and smoke. This can also result in increased failure rates
and a shorter service life for Line Modules.
• Maintain the 80 mm clearances above and below the Line Modules.
WARNING
Fire hazard due to overheating when the required cable cross-sections of power cables is
fallen below
Power cables with excessively low cross-sections can cause them to overheat. This can
result in severe injury or death due to fire and smoke.
• Only use power cables with sufficiently large cross-sections. Take into account the
routing type, ambient temperature and cable length.
WARNING
Fire hazard due to overheating when the total length of the power cables is exceeded
Overheating can result when the total length of the power cables is exceeded. This can
result in severe injury or death due to fire and smoke.
• Ensure that the total length of the power cables (motor supply cables and DC link
cables) does not exceed the values specified in Chapter Combination options, Line
Modules with line reactors and line filters (Page 135).
Note
Operation on line supplies where energy recovery is not possible
In line supply systems without energy recovery capability (e.g. a diesel generator), device
faults can occur as the braking energy cannot be dissipated.
• For line supplies without regenerative feedback capability (e.g. diesel generator),
deactivate the regenerative feedback capability of the Line Modules using the appropriate
parameter (see SINAMICS S120/S150 List Manual).
• The braking energy must then be dissipated via an additional Braking Module with
braking resistor in the drive line-up.
NOTICE
Damage to the drive electronics when switching the line contactor under load
When switching the line contactor (type according to the recommended selection) under
load, then the contacts will be subject to premature wear. This can cause the contactor to
malfunction, with subsequent damage to the drive electronics.

WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to incorrectly laid brake cables
If brake cables are laid without safe electrical separation, the insulation can fail and cause
an electric shock.
Install the brake in one of the following ways:
• Connect the holding brake with the specified MOTION-CONNECT cable.
• Only use third-party cables with safe electrically separated brake cores or lay the brake
cores with safe electrical separation.
WARNING
Risk of fire as a result of overheated motor cables if permissible cross-sections are fallen
below
Excessively thin motor cables can result in overheating. This can result in severe injury or
death due to fire and smoke.
• Use cables that correspond to the Motor Module currents. Take into account the routing
type, ambient temperature and cable length.
• If smaller cross-sections are selected, you must ensure the appropriate level of
conductor protection in another way, e.g. by suitably setting the control parameters.
NOTICE
Temperature signal disturbances and failure of components as a result of unshielded or
incorrectly routed cables
With unshielded or incorrectly laid cables, it can be expected that interference will be
coupled into the signal processing electronics from the power side. This can result in
significant disturbances (fault messages) up to failure of individual components (destruction
of the devices).
• Only use shielded cables as temperature sensor cables.
• Only use temperature sensor cables that are routed together with the motor cable and
twisted in pairs and shielded separately.
• Connect the cable shield to the chassis potential at both ends over a large surface area.
NOTICE
Premature wear of the motor holding brake when operated outside its permissible voltage
range
Operating the motor holding brake outside its permissible voltage range at the motor
connection will damage the brake.
• Ensure that the motor holding brake is only operated within its permissible voltage
range.
NOTICE
Damage through use of incorrect DRIVE-CLiQ cables
Damage or malfunctions can occur on the devices or system when DRIVE-CLiQ cables are
used that are either incorrect or have not been approved for this purpose.

particular application.
Note
Malfunctions due to polluted DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces
Malfunctions can occur in the system through the use of polluted DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces.
• Cover unused DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces with the supplied blanking covers.
Note
Insufficient cooling power when the external heat sinks are polluted
For components with external air cooling, the fan and the heat sinks can accumulate a lot of
pollution. If the cooling air requirement is not provided by the filter fan, the components
cannot output their specified power. This can cause the temperature monitoring function in
the components to respond.
• Check the fans and heat sinks for pollution at regular intervals and clean them when
necessary.
Note
Checking the seal
• After installation, check the seal on the rear of the device to ensure that it is tight.
• If required, use additional sealing.
Note
Using an installation frame
• Only use an installation frame when the cabinet has an unpainted metal surface.

6.3.1 Description
A Motor Module with external cooling is a power unit (inverter) that provides the power for
the connected motors. Power is supplied by the DC link of the drive unit. A Motor Module
must be connected to a Control Unit via DRIVE-CLiQ. The open-loop and closed-loop control
functions for the Motor Module are stored in the Control Unit.
Motor Modules with external air cooling are offered as Single Motor Modules and Double
Motor Modules. One motor can be connected to Single Motor Modules and 2 motors can be
connected to Double Motor Modules.
External air cooling uses the "through-hole" method. The power unit and its heat sink can be
inserted in a rectangular knockout at the rear of the control cabinet and mounted with a seal.
The heat sink fins and the fan (included in the scope of delivery) project beyond the rear of
the control cabinet and the heat is dissipated outside the control cabinet or in a separate air
duct.

WARNING
Danger of death due to high touch voltages for brake cables
For motor cables with integrated brake cable, when the motor is operated, the motor can
charge the brake cable up to hazardous voltage levels. Coming into contact with the
conductors or the shield of the brake cable can result in death or serious injury.
• Use motor cables with separate, shielded brake cables and connect the shield of the
brake cable at both ends.
NOTICE
Premature wear of the motor holding brake when operated outside its permissible voltage
range
Operating the motor holding brake outside its permissible voltage range at the motor
connection will damage the brake.
• Ensure that the motor holding brake is only operated within its permissible voltage
range.
NOTICE
Faulty brake function due to inadmissible wear
Inadmissible wear means that the braking function can no longer be guaranteed.
• Comply with the predefined Emergency Stop characteristics.
• Avoid repeated brief acceleration of the motor against a holding brake that is still closed.
Consider the operating times of the brakes and the relays in the drive control and
enable.
Note
The total length of the power cables (motor feeder cables and DC link cables) must not
exceed the values listed in Chapter Combination options, Line Modules with line reactors
and line filters (Page 135).
Note
The motor brake must be connected via connector X11. It is not permitted to directly connect
the cable BR- to the electronics ground M.

6.4.6 Mounting
Please note the following before mounting a Motor Module with cold plate on a customer-
specific heat sink:
● Check the surface of the heat sink to ensure that it is not damaged.
● To improve heat transfer, a heat-conducting medium must be used. Special spherical-
indented heat-conducting foil must be used for this purpose. Every component with cold
plate is supplied with heat-conducting foil cut to the right size. Note the mounting position
of the heat-conducting foil (see diagram below).
Note
• Also replace the heat-conducting foil when replacing a component.
• Only use heat-conducting foil released or supplied by Siemens.

2. Then tighten the nuts.
Tightening torque: 10 Nm
Note
• Where components have four fixing points, the nuts must be tightened evenly by
alternating diagonally between them.
Note
Machine manufacturers can adapt the heat sink version to their special requirements. The
specified rated data for the Motor Modules can only be achieved if the power losses can be
dissipated by the external heat sink under the specified general conditions.
NOTICE
Damage to the cold plate caused by incorrect mounting
The threaded bolts can damage the cold plate when it is being mounted.
• Do not damage the cold plate.
Note
New systems with 132 A and 200 A Motor Modules should ideally be designed with 200 A
liquid-cooled Motor Modules in order to avoid current derating.

6.5.1 Description
A Motor Module is a power unit (inverter) that provides the power for the connected motor or
motors. Power is supplied by the DC link of the drive unit. A Motor Module must be
connected to a Control Unit via DRIVE-CLiQ. The open-loop and closed-loop control
functions for the Motor Module are stored in the Control Unit.
6.5.2.1 Overview
The circuit for protecting the brake against overvoltage is integrated in the Motor Module and does not need to be installed
externally.
WARNING
Danger of death due to high touch voltages for brake cables
For motor cables with integrated brake cable, when the motor is operated, the motor can
charge the brake cable up to hazardous voltage levels. Coming into contact with the
conductors or the shield of the brake cable can result in death or serious injury.
• Use motor cables with separate, shielded brake cables and connect the shield of the
brake cable at both ends.
NOTICE
Premature wear of the motor holding brake when operated outside its permissible voltage
range
Operating the motor holding brake outside its permissible voltage range at the motor
connection will damage the brake.
• Ensure that the motor holding brake is only operated within its permissible voltage
range.
NOTICE
Faulty brake function due to inadmissible wear
Inadmissible wear means that the braking function can no longer be guaranteed.
• Comply with the predefined Emergency Stop characteristics.
• Avoid repeated brief acceleration of the motor against a holding brake that is still closed.
Consider the operating times of the brakes and the relays in the drive control and
enable.
Note
The motor brake must be connected via connector X11. It is not permitted to directly connect
the cable BR- to the electronics ground M.
Note
The total length of the power cables (motor feeder cables and DC link cables) must not
exceed the values listed in Chapter Combination options, Line Modules with line reactors
and line filters (Page 135).
EP terminals
The filter times to debounce terminals X21.3 and X21.4 can be parameterized (see
SINAMICS S120/S150 List Manual). Additional parameter settings are also required in order
to prevent discrepancy errors when performing bit pattern tests (light/dark tests). For
comprehensive information, see the SINAMICS S120 Safety Integrated Function Manual,
Section "Controlling the safety functions".
Note
Function of the EP terminals
The function of the EP terminals for pulse inhibit is only available if the "Safety Integrated
Basic Functions via onboard terminals" software is enabled.
NOTICE
Damage to motor in the event of incorrectly connected KTY temperature sensor
A KTY temperature sensor connected with incorrect polarity cannot detect if the motor
overheats. Overheating can cause damage to the motor.
• Connect the KTY temperature sensor with the correct polarity.
Note
The temperature sensor input is not needed if the motors feature an integrated DRIVE-CLiQ
interface or if temperature values are detected by means of a different module (SMC, SME,
TM).
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock in the event of voltage flashovers at the temperature
sensor
Voltage flashovers in the signal electronics can occur in motors without safe electrical
separation of the temperature sensors.
• Use temperature sensors that comply with the specifications relating to protective
separation.
• If safe electrical separation cannot be guaranteed (for linear motors or third-party
motors, for example), use a Sensor Module External (SME120 or SME125) or Terminal
Module TM120.

WARNING
Danger to life if the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks are not carefully
observed
If the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks in Chapter 1 (Page 27) are not
observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death may occur.
• Adhere to the fundamental safety instructions.
• When assessing the risk, take into account residual risks.
DANGER
Danger to life through electric shock due to a high DC link voltage
As long as the Motor Module is connected to the line supply, the DC link is charged with a
high voltage. A hazardous voltage can be present independent of the status of the LED
"DC LINK" Contact with live parts (at a voltage) can result in death or serious injury.
• Isolate the Line Motor Module from the line supply during installation or maintenance
work, e.g. via the line contactor or main switch.
• Observe the warning information on the component.
DANGER
Danger to life through electric shock due to the residual charge of the DC link capacitors
Because of the DC link capacitors, a hazardous voltage is present for up to five minutes
after the power supply has been switched off.
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Do not open the protective cover of the DC link until 5 minutes have elapsed.
• Measure the voltage before starting work on the DCP and DCN DC link terminals.
DANGER
Danger to life through electric shock when the protective cover of the DC link is open
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Only operate the components with closed protective cover.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to incorrect connection to the DC link
Incorrectly established connections can result in overheating and therefore fire with
associated smoke. There is also a risk of an electric shock. This can result in serious injury
or death.
• Only use adapters (DC link adapters and DC link rectifier adapters) released by
Siemens for the connection to the DC link.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to incorrectly installed DC link bridges
Incorrectly installed DC link bridges at the left-hand end of the drive line-up can cause an
electric shock.
• For all 50 mm wide modules1), remove the DC link bridge including the screws. Do not
tighten the screws without the DC link bridges.
• For all components that are 75 mm wide or wider, the DC link bridges may neither be
swung over to the left nor removed2).
1) For 50 mm wide modules, the DC link bridge cannot be swung inwards.
2) The DC link bridge guarantees the mechanical stability of the DC link busbars.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to missing DC link side covers
There is a danger of an electric shock through contact when the side covers of the DC link
are missing.
• Mount the side covers on the first and last component in the drive line-up.
• Order any missing side covers (Article number: 6SL3162-5AA00-0AA0).
WARNING
Danger to life caused by high leakage currents when the protective conductor in the line
feeder cable is interrupted
The drive components conduct a high leakage current via the protective conductor.
Touching conductive parts when the protective conductor is interrupted can result in death
or serious injury.
• Carefully comply with the applicable regulations for dimensioning the protective
conductor (see Chapter "Protective connection and equipotential bonding (Page 736)").
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to incorrectly laid brake cables
If brake cables are laid without safe electrical separation, the insulation can fail and cause
an electric shock.
Install the brake in one of the following ways:
• Connect the holding brake with the specified MOTION-CONNECT cable.
• Only use third-party cables with safe electrically separated brake cores or lay the brake
cores with safe electrical separation.
WARNING
Risk of fire as a result of overheated motor cables if permissible cross-sections are fallen
below
Excessively thin motor cables can result in overheating. This can result in severe injury or
death due to fire and smoke.
• Use cables that correspond to the Motor Module currents. Take into account the routing
type, ambient temperature and cable length.
• If smaller cross-sections are selected, you must ensure the appropriate level of
conductor protection in another way, e.g. by suitably setting the control parameters.
NOTICE
Device failure as a result of unshielded or incorrectly routed cables to temperature sensors
Unshielded or incorrectly routed cables to temperature sensors can result in interference
being coupled into the signal processing electronics from the power side. This can result in
significant disturbance of all signals (fault messages) up to failure of individual components
(destruction of the devices).
• Only use shielded cables as temperature sensor cables.
• If temperature sensor cables are routed together with the motor cable, use separately
shielded cables twisted in pairs.
• Connect the cable shield to ground potential at both ends through a large surface area.
• Recommendation: Use suitable Motion Connect cables.
NOTICE
Premature wear of the motor holding brake when operated outside its permissible voltage
range
Operating the motor holding brake outside its permissible voltage range at the motor
connection will damage the brake.
• Ensure that the motor holding brake is only operated within its permissible voltage
range.
NOTICE
Damage through use of incorrect DRIVE-CLiQ cables
Damage or malfunctions can occur on the devices or system when DRIVE-CLiQ cables are
used that are either incorrect or have not been approved for this purpose.
• Only use suitable DRIVE-CLiQ cables that have been approved by Siemens for the
particular application.
Note

8.2.1 Description
The Braking Module Booksize is always used together with an external braking resistor. It
has the following tasks:
● Specific stop of the drives in the event of a line failure
(e.g. emergency retraction or EMERGENCY OFF category 1).
● Limit the DC link voltage for brief periods of generator operation (e.g. if the regenerative
feedback capability of the Line Module is deactivated or is not adequately dimensioned).
The Braking Module includes the necessary power electronics and control. When the
Braking Module is in operation, the power which is fed back into the DC link is dissipated via
an external braking resistor.
Rapid discharge
Furthermore, the Braking Module Booksize can used with a braking resistor to quickly
discharge the DC link capacitors The DC link is discharged in a controlled manner via the
braking resistor once the infeed unit has been switched off and the line-up has been
disconnected from the line supply (e.g. via the main switch or line contactor). The function
can be activated via a digital input on the Braking Module. A quick discharge makes sense,
for example, when maintenance tasks are to be performed at the Motor Module and/or motor
installation (reduction of the discharge time).
WARNING
Danger to life when live parts are touched after rapid discharge
On completion of quick discharge, a voltage of 30 V is still present at the DC link. If the fast
discharge is interrupted before it has been completed, then this voltage can be more than
60 V. Touching live components can result in death or severe injury.
• Check the DC link to ensure that it is in a no voltage state before starting any work.
NOTICE
Damage to the Motor Module or connected motors for a fast discharge
For a fast discharge, the Motor Module or the connected motors can be damaged.
• For a rapid discharge, fully disconnect the drive system from the line supply.
• The motors must be at a standstill.
Monitoring functions
● Automatic detection of braking resistors and braking power monitoring
● I2t monitoring of the braking resistors.
● Temperature monitoring of the Braking Module
● Short circuit and overload detection
● Ground fault detection
WARNING
Danger to life if the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks are not carefully
observed
If the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks in Chapter 1 (Page 27) are not
observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death may occur.
• Adhere to the fundamental safety instructions.
• When assessing the risk, take into account residual risks.
WARNING
Fire hazard due to overheating because of inadequate ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating with a risk for personnel due to
smoke and fire. This can also result in increased failure rates and a shorter service life of
the components.
• Maintain the 80 mm clearances above and below the components.
NOTICE
Device failure as a result of unshielded or incorrectly routed cables to braking resistors
Unshielded or incorrectly routed cables to braking resistors can result in interference being
coupled into the signal processing electronics from the power side. This can result in
significant disturbance of all signals (fault messages) up to failure of individual components
(destruction of the devices).
• Only use shielded cables for cables to braking resistors.
NOTICE
Danger to life through the use of non-approved braking resistors
Braking resistors can be damaged when using braking resistors other than those specified
in this Manual.
• Only use braking resistors approved by Siemens.
8.2.3.1 Overview
For detailed technical information on the braking resistors, see the section entitled Braking
resistors (Page 549).
● Overcurrent trip
● I2t monitoring has responded.
● Ground fault/short circuit
In the event of an overtemperature, the fault can only be acknowledged with X21.1 = high
after a cooling-down time.
WARNING
Danger to life as a result of a hazardous voltage at terminals X21
Hazardous voltages can be present at terminals X21 in the case of a fault. Touching live
components can result in death or severe injury.
• Only connect protective extra low voltages at terminals X21.

Note
Only the components that are connected to each other via the DC link busbar can be
included in the total capacitance.
DC link cable
In a multi-row or distributed drive line-up, the DC links are connected to each other via a DC
link cable. When using a Braking Module in the drive line-up, this cable must not be longer
than 10 m. The DC link cable must be twisted and have a minimum cross-section of at least
10 mm2.

The Braking Module Booksize Compact 6SL3400-1AE31-0AA. Is recommended for
connecting Braking Modules in series.
Parallel connection of the Braking Module 6SL3100-1AE31-0AA. should be avoided as
power distribution between the modules is not guaranteed.
Note
When Braking Modules are connected in parallel, the DC link capacitance specified above
must be available for each Braking Module.
8.3.1 Description
The Braking Module Booksize Compact is always used together with a braking resistor. It
has the following tasks:
● Controlled stop of the drives in the event of a power failure
(e.g. emergency retraction or EMERGENCY OFF Category 1).
● Limit the DC link voltage for brief periods of generator operation, for example, if the
regenerative feedback capability of the Line Module is deactivated or is not adequately
dimensioned.
The Braking Module includes the necessary power electronics and control. When the module
is in operation, the power which is fed back into the DC link is dissipated via an external
braking resistor.
The Braking Module can be operated on 200 V or 400 V line supply systems; the 4-pin DIP
switch on the top of the module is used to select which one applies in each case. The factory
setting is 400 V.
When spacers (6SL3462-1CC00-0AA0) are used, the Braking Module Booksize Compact
can be integrated into a drive line-up in booksize format with internal air cooling.
Rapid discharge
Furthermore, the Braking Module Booksize Compact can be used with a braking resistor to
quickly discharge the DC link. The DC link is discharged in a controlled manner via the
braking resistor once the infeed unit has been switched off and the line-up has been
disconnected from the line supply (e.g. via the main switch or line contactor). The function
can be activated via a digital input on the Braking Module. A quick discharge makes sense,
for example, when maintenance tasks are to be performed at the Motor Module and/or motor
installation (reduction of the discharge time).
NOTICE
Damage to the Motor Module or connected motors for a fast discharge
For a fast discharge, the Motor Module or the connected motors can be damaged.
• For a rapid discharge, fully disconnect the drive system from the line supply.
• The motors must be at a standstill.
WARNING
Danger to life when live parts are touched after rapid discharge
On completion of quick discharge, a voltage of 30 V is still present at the DC link. If quick
discharge is canceled before it has been completed, this voltage can still be more than
60 V. Touching live components can result in death or severe injury.
• Check the DC link to ensure that it is in a no voltage state before starting any work.
Cooling methods
The Braking Module Booksize Compact can be operated with the following cooling methods:
● Internal air cooling
● Cold plate cooling
The required cooling method is set using the DIP switch The factory setting is "internal air
cooling".
Internal fan
When the Braking Module is being used with internal air cooling, the internal fan starts up
immediately and is subsequently controlled by the temperature.
If the DIP switch is set to cold plate cooling by mistake, the fan will still start up when a
certain temperature threshold is reached, in order to prevent the Braking Module shutting
down due to overtemperature. If this threshold is exceeded, an alarm is issued via the digital
output "Prewarning". This ensures that an emergency stop can be performed if necessary.
Monitoring functions
● Automatic detection of braking resistors without thermostatic switch and corresponding
braking power monitoring (only if the "Braking resistor without thermostatic switch" setting
is used)
● I2t monitoring of the Braking Module
● Temperature monitoring of the Braking Module
● Temperature monitoring of the connected braking resistor with thermostatic switch (only
for setting "Braking resistor with thermostatic switch")
● Short-circuit and overload detection (for all braking resistors)
● Ground fault detection (for all braking resistors)
Parallel operation
Several Braking Modules Booksize Compact can be connected in parallel to increase the
braking power. In this case, the braking energy is divided between the modules. Formulas
for calculating the parallel connection are given in Chapter Notes on configuration
(Page 516).
A parallel connection of the Braking Module Booksize Compact to SINAMICS S120 Basic
Line Modules 20 kW and 40 kW is also possible.
WARNING
Danger to life if the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks are not carefully
observed
If the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks in Chapter 1 (Page 27) are not
observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death may occur.
• Adhere to the fundamental safety instructions.
• When assessing the risk, take into account residual risks.
WARNING
Fire hazard due to overheating because of inadequate ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating with a risk for personnel due to
smoke and fire. This can also result in increased failure rates and a shorter service life of
the components.
• Maintain the 80 mm clearances above and below the components.
NOTICE
Device failure as a result of unshielded or incorrectly routed cables to braking resistors
Unshielded or incorrectly routed cables to braking resistors can result in interference being
coupled into the signal processing electronics from the power side. This can result in
significant disturbance of all signals (fault messages) up to failure of individual components
(destruction of the devices).
• Only use shielded cables for cables to braking resistors.
NOTICE
Danger to life through the use of non-approved braking resistors
Braking resistors can be damaged when using braking resistors other than those specified
in this Manual.
• Only use braking resistors approved by Siemens.
8.3.3.1 Overview
For detailed technical information on the braking resistors, see Chapter Braking resistors
(Page 549).
WARNING
Danger to life as a result of a hazardous voltage at terminals X21
Hazardous voltages can be present at terminals X21 in the case of a fault. Touching live
components can result in death or severe injury.
• Only connect protective extra low voltages at terminals X21.

DC link capacitance
When configuring the drive line-up, please note that only one Braking Module Booksize
Compact may be used per complete 500 µF DC link capacitance.
DC link cable
In a multi-row or distributed drive line-up, the DC links are connected to each other via a DC
link cable. When using a Braking Module Booksize Compact in the drive line-up, this cable
must not be longer than 10 m. In all cases, the DC link cable must have low impedance and
a cross-section of at least 10 mm2.
Parallel operation
During configuration of parallel operation for Braking Modules Booksize Compact,
dimensioning can only take 90% of the specified braking power into account. Only the peak
powers may be added without derating.
The following applies when connecting Braking Modules in parallel:
PN total = 0.9 x total PN of single devices
4 x PN total = 0.9 x sum (4 x PN) of single devices
Pmax total = total Pmax of single devices
8.4.1 Description
Since Basic Line Modules 100 kW cannot feed power back into the supply system, an
external braking unit together with a braking resistor is required for the following tasks:
● When the power fails, the drives are stopped in a controlled fashion (e.g. EMERGENCY
OFF Category 1).
● The DC link voltage is limited during brief generator operation.
The MASTERDRIVES braking unit includes the necessary power electronics and control.
When the braking unit is in operation, the power which is fed back into the DC link is
dissipated via an external braking resistor.
For the operation of a Basic Line Module 100 kW, only MASTERDRIVES braking units with
the following rated braking powers are permitted:
● 4 x PN = 100 kW (Article number 6SE7031-6EB87-2DA1)
● 4 x PN = 170 kW (Article number 6SE7032-7EB87-2DA1)
For detailed information about the MASTERDRIVES braking unit, see operating instructions
"MASTERDRIVES braking unit" with article number 6SE7087-6CX87-2DA0.

WARNING
Danger to life if the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks are not carefully
observed
If the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks in Chapter 1 (Page 27) are not
observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death may occur.
• Adhere to the fundamental safety instructions.
• When assessing the risk, take into account residual risks.
WARNING
Fire hazard due to overheating because of inadequate ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating with a risk for personnel due to
smoke and fire. This can also result in increased failure rates and a shorter service life of
the components.
• Maintain the 80 mm clearances above and below the components.
NOTICE
Device failure as a result of unshielded or incorrectly routed cables to braking resistors
Unshielded or incorrectly routed cables to braking resistors can result in interference being
coupled into the signal processing electronics from the power side. This can result in
significant disturbance of all signals (fault messages) up to failure of individual components
(destruction of the devices).
• Only use shielded cables for cables to braking resistors.
Note
Note the starting time for the electronics
The electronics of the Braking Module is supplied from the DC link. As long as no DC link
voltage is present (< 360 V ± 2%), the electronics are not active and an external control or
the Control Unit receives the "fault" signal from the fault output. This means that it is not just
the 2 seconds that has to be taken into account, which the electronics requires to run up as
soon as the DC link voltage is present.
NOTICE
Danger to life through the use of non-approved braking resistors
Braking resistors can be damaged when using braking resistors other than those specified
in this Manual.
• Only use braking resistors approved by Siemens.

line voltage. The maximum permissible length of the connecting cables to the DC link is 3 m.
NOTICE
Damage to the drive units or DC link terminals by interchanging or short-circuiting the DC
link terminals
The drive equipment or braking unit may be damaged if the DC link terminals are
interchanged or short-circuited.
• Carefully ensure that the DC link terminals are correctly connected.
• Do not short-circuit the DC link terminals.
CAUTION
Risk of burns as a result of the high braking unit temperature
The air discharge temperature of the braking units and the housing can become very hot.
You can be slightly injured if you come into contact with them.
• Avoid coming into contact with the discharged air and the housing of the braking units.
• Mount the motor braking units so that they cannot be touched. If this is not possible,
attach a clearly visible and understandable warning notice at hazardous positions.
• To prevent adjacent components from being damaged due to these high temperatures,
maintain a clearance around all sides of the braking units.
8.5.1 Description
Capacitor modules are used to increase the DC link capacitance to bridge momentary power
losses.
Capacitor modules are connected to the DC link voltage via the integrated DC link busbars.

8.6.1 Description
The Control Supply Module provides an output voltage of 24 V - 28.8 V DC. The output
voltage can be adjusted using an integrated potentiometer.
In normal operation, the Control Supply Module is supplied from the line voltage. When the
power fails, the module automatically changes over to supply from the DC link. This makes it
possible, for example, to execute retraction movements in the event of a power failure.
The Control Supply Module has safe electrical separation between the line potential and the
DC link potential. This therefore ensures that the DC link is not unintentionally charged. The
Control Supply Module can therefore remain connected to the supply if the Line Module is
galvanically isolated from the line supply, for example using a line contactor.
The 24 V ground of the Control Supply Module is internally grounded.
The Control Supply Module is cooled using an internal fan.
Temperature and voltages are internally monitored.
Temperature monitoring:
In the event of an overtemperature in the Control Supply Module, a temperature advance
warning is issued via a signaling contact. If the temperature falls below the limit value within
the advance warning time, then the module remains operational and the signaling contact is
de-energized. If the overtemperature condition persists, the module is switched off and
restarted.
Voltage monitoring:
When the monitoring threshold (32 V) of the output voltage is exceeded for > 20 ms, the
control supply module switches off and attempts a restart after 10 s. This is supplemented by
a hardware-based overvoltage limiting. This prevents that more than 35 V can be output in
the case of a fault.
The Control Supply Module can either be operated individually or in a parallel connection
with a maximum of 10 devices. The switchover between single and parallel operation is
realized in a no-current state using a DIP switch on the upper side of the module.
Note
Compatibility
The Control Supply Module 6SL3100-1DE22-0AA1 with extended functionality described
here replaces Control Supply Module 6SL3100-1DE22-0AA0. The modules are upwards
compatible (-0AA1 can be used as replacement part for -0AA0).
WARNING
Danger to life if the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks are not carefully
observed
If the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks in Chapter 1 (Page 27) are not
observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death may occur.
• Adhere to the fundamental safety instructions.
• When assessing the risk, take into account residual risks.
DANGER
Danger to life when live parts are touched when using the control supply module
The Control Supply Module has 2 supply circuits. Death or serious injury can result when
live parts are touched.
• Switch off both supply circuits before you start any work.
DANGER
Danger to life through electric shock due to the residual charge of the DC link capacitors
Due to the DC link capacitors, a hazardous voltage is present in the DC link for up to 5
minutes after the power supply has been switched off.
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Do not open the protective cover of the DC link until 5 minutes have elapsed.
• Measure the voltage before starting work on the DCP and DCN DC link terminals.
DANGER
Danger to life through electric shock when the protective cover of the DC link is open
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Only operate the components with closed protective cover.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to missing DC link side covers
There is a danger of an electric shock through contact when the side covers of the DC link
are missing.
• Mount the side covers on the first and last component in the drive line-up.
• Order any missing side covers (Article number: 6SL3162-5AA00-0AA0).
WARNING
Fire hazard due to overheating because of inadequate ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating with a risk for personnel due to
smoke and fire. This can also result in increased failure rates and a shorter service life of
the component.
• Maintaining 80 mm ventilation clearances above and below the component is essential.
NOTICE
Material damage due to loose power connections when using the 24 V terminal adapter
Insufficient tightening torques or vibration can result in faulty electrical connections. This
can cause fire damage or malfunctions.
• When using the 24 V terminal adapter, it must be screwed onto the Control Supply
Module. Tighten the enclosed EJOT-PT K30 x 16 screw with the specified tightening
torque (0.5 Nm).
• Check the tightening torques of all power connections at regular intervals and tighten
them when required. This applies in particular after transport.
8.6.3.1 Overview
The 2-pole terminal connector for the signaling contact is included in the Completion Kit provided.
The signaling contact can be connected with a digital input (DI) on the Control Unit or other
digital interface (PLC, SCADA). In parallel or redundant operation the failure of a Control
Supply Module is indicated in order to initiate a service call, for example.
The signaling contact operates as an isolated NO contact. The contact is closed ("OK") if the
Control Supply Module is operating without fault. For a module output voltage that deviates
from the specification, or an overtemperature condition, then the contact opens ("not OK").
The Control Supply Module is shutdown if an overtemperature condition remains after this
warning.
Signaling contact without terminal connector in Signaling contact, complete with terminal con-
the delivery condition nector
When delivered, "single operation" is set. Both switches are set to the left.
Note
If you use cables with a cross-section of 2.5 mm2, no additional protection is required on the
24 V side for the following cable types:
• Cables of the XLPE type
• Cables of the EPR type
• Cable with a similar properties and which is thermally stable up to 90 °C
Note
Observe the connection sequence
If a selectively tripping, AC/DC-sensitive RCCB is used for the drive line-up, the Control
Supply Module must always be connected to the line supply downstream of this circuit
breaker. Otherwise, the residual current operated circuit breaker will trip erroneously if the
direct-current component is asymmetrically drawn in certain operating states.

Installation
The braking resistors can be installed standing on the floor of the control cabinet or
suspended. You must ensure that the braking resistors do not obstruct the flow of cooling air
to the drive line-up.
Positioning the braking resistor outside the control cabinet or switchgear room enables the
resulting thermal losses to be routed away. This reduces the level of air conditioning
required.
Connection cables
A shielded connecting cable (3 m, 3 x 1.5 mm2) is supplied with braking resistor 6SN1113-
1AA00-0DA0.
All other braking resistors are supplied without a connection cable. The maximum conductor
cross-sections are listed in the technical data.
The maximum cable length for all braking resistors is 10 m.
WARNING
Danger to life if the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks are not carefully
observed
If the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks in Chapter 1 (Page 27) are not
observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death may occur.
• Adhere to the fundamental safety instructions.
• When assessing the risk, take into account residual risks.
WARNING
Risk of fire due to ground fault/short-circuit
Inadequate installation of the cables to the braking resistor can result in a ground
fault/short-circuit and place persons at risk as a result of the associated smoke and fire.
• Use the local installation regulations to avoid this fault.
• Protect the cables against mechanical damage.
• Also implement one of the following measures:
– Use cables with double insulation.
– Maintain adequate clearance, e.g. by using spacers.
– Lay the cables in separate cable ducts or conduits.
WARNING
Risk of fire through overheating if there are insufficient ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating with a risk for personnel due to
smoke and fire.
• Maintain a cooling clearance of 100 mm on all sides of the braking resistor
CAUTION
Risk of burns due to high surface temperatures
The braking resistor can become very hot. You can get seriously burnt when touching the
surface.
• Mount the braking resistors so that contact is not possible. If this is not possible, attach
a clearly visible and understandable warning notice at hazardous positions.

Death or serious injury can result when live parts are touched.
• For the motor reactors, use touch protection according to IPXXA or corresponding to the
local installation regulations.
WARNING
Fire hazard due to overheating because of inadequate ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating with a risk for personnel due to
smoke and fire. This can also result in increased failure rates and a shorter service life of
the components.
• Maintain the 100 mm clearances above and below the components.
CAUTION
Risk of burns due to high surface temperatures
The motor reactors can become very hot. You can get seriously burnt when touching the
surface.
• Mount the motor reactors so that contact is not possible. If this is not possible, attach
clearly visible and understandable warning notices at hazardous positions.
• To prevent adjacent components from suffering damage due to these high
temperatures, maintain a clearance of 100 mm on all sides of the motor reactors.
NOTICE
Damage caused by using incorrect motor reactors
When using motor reactors that have not been approved by Siemens for SINAMICS, the
motor reactors can be damaged.
• Only use motor reactors that SIEMENS has approved for operation with SINAMICS.
Note
Maximum cable length of the connection cables
The connection cables to the Motor Module must be kept as short as possible (max. 5 m).

10.2.1 Description
The Voltage Protection Module (VPM) is a component for limiting voltage. It is used for both
1FE1 and 2SP1 motors and those with an electromagnetic force (EMF) of between 800 V
and 2000 V to limit DC-link voltage if a fault occurs.
The Voltage Protection Module is installed within the motor cable between the Motor Module
and motor. If the line voltage fails at the maximum motor speed or the pulses at the Motor
Module are canceled as a result of the power failure, the motor regenerates at high voltage
into the DC link. The Voltage Protection Module recognizes that the motor voltage is too high
(> 800 V) and uses an electronic switch to short-circuit the three phases of the motor at its
supply lines. The power remaining in the motor is converted to heat via the short circuit
between the Voltage Protection Module and motor cables.
The Voltage Protection Module is available in 3 versions.
WARNING
Danger to life if the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks are not carefully
observed
If the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks in Chapter 1 (Page 27) are not
observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death may occur.
• Adhere to the fundamental safety instructions.
• When assessing the risk, take into account residual risks.
DANGER
Danger to life through electric shock due to the residual charge of the DC link capacitors
Due to the DC link capacitors of the converter, a hazardous voltage is present in the DC
link for up to 30 minutes after the power supply has been switched off.
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Avoid contact with the Voltage Protection Module as long as it is under voltage.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to high speed of the motor while the VPM is being
ramped up
If the motor is operated with a speed higher than the field weakening threshold speed while
the Voltage Protection Module is ramping up (see the technical data), the protection
function of the VPM is inactive during this phase. As a consequence, high voltages can be
injected into the DC link.
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Only operate the motor below the field weakening threshold speed while the VPM is
ramping up.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to the insulation voltage being exceeded
An excessively high voltage will damage the insulation resulting in death or severe injury.
• Do not connect any motors whose electromotive force (EMF) exceeds the permissible
value at the highest speed used.
• Route the cables so that they are protected to rule out any damage.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock when using third-party motors
VPM can be used with third-party motors. If, when using third-party motors, the VPM does
not limit the DC link voltage, this can result in death or severe injury.
• Please observe the following when using third-party motors:
– Carry out a risk analysis.
– Ensure that the third-party motors correspond to the electrical properties of the
specified Siemens components.
– Check the correct functioning of the VPM.
WARNING
Danger to life through automatic start of the drive
An uncontrolled automatic start of the drive can result in fatal accidents.
• Take precautions against an automatic start of the drive.
NOTICE
Damage when using motors that are not short-circuit proof
Use of motors that are not short-circuit proof in conjunction with a Voltage Protection
Module can result in their destruction.
• Only use motor that are short-circuit proof.
WARNING
Fire hazard due to overheating because of inadequate ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating with a risk for personnel through
smoke development and fire. This can also result in more downtimes and reduced service
lives of components.
• Maintain the 200 mm clearances above and below the components.
NOTICE
Damage to devices as a result of incorrect connecting cables
Using incorrect connecting cables for Voltage Protection Modules can damage the
connected components.
• Use shielded MOTION-CONNECT 800PLUS motor cables, type 6FX8.
10.2.3.1 Overview
The drawings below show the basic positions of interfaces and the housing openings of the
Voltage Protection Modules VPM120, VPM200 and VPM200 Dynamic.
Figure 10-5 Interface overview, Voltage Protection Modules VPM120 (without cover)
Figure 10-6 Interface overview, Voltage Protection Modules VPM200 (without cover)
Figure 10-7 Interface overview, Voltage Protection Modules VPM200 Dynamic (without cover)
The housing is closed during operation to ensure the electrical terminals are covered.
WARNING
Danger to life when the drive automatically starts to run in an uncontrolled fashion
An uncontrolled automatic start of the drive can result in death or severe injury.
• Take measures to prevent the drive starting automatically in an uncontrolled fashion, as
signal contact X3 restores the pulse enable after 2 minutes.
Note
Cable lengths with cross-sections of > 50 mm2 between the Motor Module and the Voltage
Protection Module or between the Voltage Protection Module and the motor are
implemented using two cables connected in parallel.
Cable lengths
The maximum length of the power cable between the Motor Module and the Voltage
Protection Module is 1.5 m and must not include any switching elements.
The power cable between the Voltage Protection Module and the motor must not exceed a
length of 50 m.
Signaling contact
Signaling interface X3 on the Voltage Protection Module is wired to a digital input (DI) on the
Control Unit, which controls this spindle. If more than one Voltage Protection Module is used,
each X3 terminal is wired to the respective Control Unit. If an armature short-circuit occurs,
the pulses of the axis involved must remain inhibited. To do this, the connected digital input
is interconnected to control bit OFF2 (pulse inhibit) (see SINAMICS S120/S150 List Manual).
The signaling interface is operated with +24 V.

(inches)
10.2.6 Installation
The Voltage Protection Module is installed in the control cabinet close to the drive.
Note
Connecting motor reactors
Motor reactors may only be connected between the Voltage Protection Module and motor.
Note
Only the enclosure cover may be opened when electrically connecting the Voltage Protection
Module.
Introduction
Various types of cabling work must be carried out in order to integrate a Voltage Protection
Module into a motor feeder circuit. All connections must be set up inside the VPM housing.
Cable cross-sections are determined by the rated motor power and may be as much as 2 x
50 mm2 for each conductor. An installation sequence for individual conductors is outlined
below. It is particularly relevant for larger cross-sections.
Preparation
The following preparations must be made before setting up connections:
● Loosen the 4 screws on the cover of the housing, so that the cover can be shifted in the
cutouts.
● Move the enclosure cover to the point where the cutout widens out so it can be lifted over
the screw heads.
● Attach the cable glands for the signal cable and power cables (2x for the VPM120, 4x for
the VPM200) at the entries into the housing of the Voltage Protection Module.
● Remove 300 mm of the cable sheath of the power cables and expose the shield to match
the housing gland being used.
● Remove the insulation at the ends of the individual conductors and attach cable lugs.
● Attach the signal cable to X3 and secure the cable with cable ties inside the Voltage
Protection Module.
① Cable tie
② Signaling contact X3
Figure 10-15 Connection of the signaling contact using the VPM200 as an example
The X3 signaling contact is routed via a bistable relay. The relay may shift to the other
switching state if subjected to excessive movement during transportation and installation.
This may prevent the system from starting.
NOTICE
Damage as the short-circuit thyristor is still conducting
When a Voltage Protection Module is tripped and the short-circuit thyristor is still conducting
before the converter is switched on again, then this can result in damage to the system.
• The motor must have come to a standstill.
• Signal contact X3 must have closed again.
• Check that the thyristor is in a no voltage condition.

planned configuration, two solutions are possible:
● Center infeed: Arrangement of the drive line-up with infeed to the left and right (example
2)
● Use of another Line Module
Note
The following examples are based on the simultaneous use and loading of the Motor
Modules with the rated current In. The values of the DC link current were taken from the
technical data of the Motor Modules in the Power Units Booksize Manual.
Example 1:
Connection of several Motor Modules with different current carrying capacity of the DC link
busbar to a Line Module.
Example 2:
Connection of several Motor Modules with different current carrying capacity of the DC link
busbar to a Line Module with center infeed
A center infeed with Motor Modules to the right and left of the Line Module can be configured
for all Line Modules in compliance with current carrying capacity.
Exception: Smart Line Modules 5 kW and 10 kW
Note
For Smart Line Modules 5 kW and 10 kW, the arrangement of the drive line-up must be
made to the right!
Figure 12-4 Example of a single drive line-up with internal air cooling
Note
Operating faults due to incorrectly laid cables
Particularly with regard to satisfying the EMC requirements, signal cables should not be laid
parallel to power cables.
Note
Arrangement of the components for infeed of the DC link voltage from the right
If the infeed is on the right-hand side of the drive line-up (e.g. in a multi-tier configuration),
the rules described in Chapter Single-tier drive line-up (Page 674) apply in the inverse
sequence.
This means:
• Arrangement of the Motor Modules depending on their power, starting with the highest
power
• DC link components, such as Braking Modules, at the end of the tier

• Replace the protective cover with the broken out cutouts by a new protective cover.
Note
The 24 V terminal adapter should always be installed to the left of the component located at
the far left, because if it is positioned anywhere else there may not be enough space for the
24 V plug-in jumpers.
If necessary, the 24 V terminal adapter can also be located at the right for 50 mm and
100 mm modules.
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock when using screws with the incorrect length
Excessively long screws can come into contact with live parts and can therefore result in
death or serious injury.
• Only use screws with a permissible insertion depth of 4 - 6 mm.
Note
The electronics power supply should be implemented by the user, as described in Chapter
System data (Page 46).
When connecting a DC power supply as specified in EN 60204-1:1997, Sect. 4.3.3,
malfunctions may occur due to the voltage interruptions permitted for them.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to incorrectly laid brake cables
If brake cables are laid without safe electrical separation, the insulation can fail and cause
an electric shock.
Install the brake in one of the following ways:
• Connect the holding brake with the specified MOTION-CONNECT cable.
• Only use third-party cables with safe electrically separated brake cores or lay the brake
cores with safe electrical separation.
NOTICE
Damage to other loads as a result of overvoltage
Overvoltages of switched inductances (contactors, relays) can damage connected loads.
• Install suitable overvoltage protection circuits and devices.
Note
Malfunction because 24 V supply voltage is too low
If the 24 V supply voltage falls below the specified minimum value on a device in the
assembly, a malfunction can occur.
• Select an input voltage that is high enough for there to be sufficient voltage at the last
device. Do not exceed the maximum value for the supply voltage. If required, supply the
voltage to the assembly at various locations in the lineup.
Note
Motor holding brake connection
To ensure reliable opening of the motor holding brake, it requires a 24 V ± 10% voltage
supply at the motor connection. It must be taken into account that voltage dips can occur
along the supply cable.
• Use a Control Supply Module or a regulated DC power supply, whose setpoint is set to
26 V.
• Use supply cables with a minimum cross-section of 1.5 mm² and a maximum length of
100 m.
Note
If you use cables with a cross-section of 2.5 mm2, no additional protection is required on the
24 V side for the following cable types:
• Cables of the XLPE type
• Cables of the EPR type
• Cable with a similar properties and which is thermally stable up to 90 °C
The trip characteristic of the MCBs must be selected to match the loads to be protected and
the max. current provided by the power supply unit in the event of a short-circuit.
The overvoltage protection components must always be placed next to the area to be
protected, e.g. at the entry point to the control cabinet. All 24 V cables which exit the
protected area must be routed through an overvoltage protection element.
The diagram below uses a CU320-2 DP as an example to show how the overvoltage
protection components are connected.
Figure 12-23 Connection example: Surge voltage protection components from Weidmüller connected to SINAMICS
components
*1 For "PU III 24V AC/DC", terminals 11, 12, 14 are electrically isolated monitoring con-
tacts (11 common, 12 NC contact, 14 NO contact). In the case of a thermal overload
of the integrated varistor, contact 11-12 is opened and contact 11-14 is closed.
*2 The metallic enclosure of the SINAMICS components and the PE connection of the
surge arrester must be connected with one another to ensure a good electrical con-
nection (equipotential bonding). This can be achieved by installing the SINAMICS
components on a metallic mounting plate and connecting the PE connections of the
overvoltage protection elements as directly as possible to the mounting plate.
*3 By snapping the surge arrester (MCZ OVP TAZ) onto a metal mounting rail, the PE
connection (terminal 5) is connected to the mounting rail. It is then sufficient to estab-
lish a good conductive connection between the DIN rail and the metallic enclosure of
the SINAMICS component (equipotential bonding). This is the case when both the
DIN rail and the SINAMICS component are mounted on a common metal mounting
plate.
If not specified otherwise, the listed Line Modules and Motor Modules are Booksize
components.

WARNING
Danger to life through a hazardous voltage when connecting an unsuitable power supply
Touching live components can result in death or severe injury.
• Connect the ground potential to the PE conductor connection.
• Mount the power supply close to the drive lineup.
Ideally, they should be mounted on a common mounting plate. If different mounting
plates are used, they must be electrically connected in compliance with the
Configuration Manual, "EMC installation guideline".
Note
Cables for UL applications
For UL applications, only 60/75 °C copper cables may be used.
12.7.1.1 Overview
To connect DRIVE-CLiQ components, various pre-assembled and non-assembled DRIVE-
CLiQ signal cables are available. The following pre-assembled DRIVE-CLiQ signal cables
will be discussed in more detail in the next sections:
● Signal cables without 24 V cores with RJ45 connectors
● MOTION-CONNECT signal cables with DRIVE-CLiQ connectors
● MOTION-CONNECT signal cables with DRIVE-CLiQ connector and M12 socket
Table 12- 12 Actual lengths of the DRIVE-CLiQ jumpers for Line Modules and Motor Modules

For information on the cabinet bushings, see Chapter DRIVE-CLiQ cabinet bushings
(Page 652).
12.7.1.4 DRIVE-CLiQ signal cables MOTION-CONNECT with RJ45 plug and M12 socket
The MOTION-CONNECT DRIVE-CLiQ signal cables with RJ45 plug and M12 socket have
24 VDC cores. They establish the connection between components with a DRIVE-CLiQ
connection and a direct measuring system equipped with DRIVE-CLiQ ASIC with 8-pin M12
connector. Measuring systems from third-party manufacturers can be directly connected to
the SINAMICS S120.
Basic cable
The pre-assembled basic cable has eight cores, of which four are used for data transmission
and two for the 24 V supply. It is used to convert from a RJ45 plug (IP20) to an M12 socket
(IP67).
Figure 12-25 DRIVE-CLiQ basic cable with RJ45 plug and M12 socket
Extension
The pre-assembled extension of a basic cable has an M12 plug (IP67) and an M12 socket
(IP67).
Figure 12-26 DRIVE-CLiQ extension with M12 plug and M12 socket
Note
Maximum permissible total cable length
The maximum permissible total cable length between the measuring system and the RJ45
socket of the SINAMICS S120 device is 30 m. For a longer total cable length data transfer
errors may occur. This is the reason that no additional extension can be connected to a 30 m
long basic cable.
Note
Maximum number of extensions
A maximum of two extensions can be used. More than two extensions can result in data
transfer errors.

When using a motor holding brake, the maximum motor cable length is 100 m.
The permissible cable length for an unshielded motor cable is 150 % of the length for a
shielded motor cable.
Motor reactors can also be used on motors operating in vector and V/f control modes to
allow the use of longer motor cables.

12.7.3 Current-carrying capacity and derating factors for power cables and signal
cables
The current carrying capacity of PVC/PUR-insulated copper cables is specified for routing
types B1, B2 and C under continuous operating conditions in the table below with reference
to an ambient air temperature of 40° C. For other ambient temperatures, the values must be
corrected by the factors listed in the "Derating factors for deviating ambient temperatures"
table.

maintaining the corresponding radio interference suppression category, see Chapter
Combination options of Line Modules with line reactors and line filters (Page 135).
12.7.5 Connectable conductor cross-sections and tightening torques for motor and
power cables
Note
Compliance with IPXXB degree of protection for Active Interface Modules 36 kW
The connection terminals of the 36 kW Active Interface Module are only certain to have
degree of protection IPXXB according to IEC 60529, if cables with a minimum cross-section
of 25 mm² and insulated end sleeves are used.
Table 12- 24 Connectable conductor cross-sections Part 3: Line cable/connection for braking resistor
WARNING
Danger to life as a result of power cables overheating when permissible cross-sections are
fallen below
Excessively thin power cables can result in overheating. This can result in severe injury or
death due to fire and smoke.
• Only use power cables with sufficiently large cross-sections. Take into account the
routing type, ambient temperature and cable length.
• If smaller cross-sections are selected, you must ensure the appropriate level of
conductor protection in another way, e.g. by suitably setting the control parameters.
Note
Compliance with IPXXB degree of protection for Basic Line Modules 40 kW
Degree of protection IPXXB according to IEC 60529 for the Basic Line Module 40 kW is only
obtained when power cables with insulated end sleeves and cross-sections > 25 mm2 are
used.
Note
Selection of the line supply conductor
When selecting the line supply conductor, note the loop resistance so that the relevant
protective components (line fuse, RCCB, etc.) function properly and that no hazardous shock
currents or voltages occur in the event of a fault.
If the apparent impedance of the line supply at the infeed point is not suitable, so that fuses
do not rupture in the specified time in the case of insulation failure (ground fault, fault to
frame), then you must use additional fault current protective devices RCD (RCCB or MRCD),
Type B to protect personnel and protect against fire.
Note
With Double Motor Modules, the rear motor connector must be installed first and then
locked.
1. Screw the interlocking bolts into the thread provided in the housing.
2. Insert the connector, including the motor cable, and lock it in place using a screwdriver or
size 4 hexagon socket-head screw clockwise by turning a ¼ turn (90°).
Insert the connector, including the motor cable, and lock it in place using a screwdriver or
size 4 hexagon socket-head screw clockwise by turning a ¼ turn (90°).
Shield support
The following options are available for cable shield support:
● Shield support with shield plate supplied
● Shield support on a toothed rail
● Fixing your own shield support at the shield connection of the motor connector
Table 12- 26 Possible mounting options for the shield connection plate with recommended conductor
stripped lengths
Shield plate supplied for the motor connector Version 1: Lengths in mm and (inches)
a = 45 -0/+2 (1.77 -0/+0.08)
b = 12 ±0.5 (0.47 ±0.20)
c = 57 -1/+2 (2.24 -0.04/+0.08)
d = 10 ±0.5 (0.39 ±0.20)
The shield plate can be mounted at various angles at the motor connector using two screws
(M4) that are provided (tightening torque: 1.8 Nm).
Mount the shield plate with the recesses facing upwards. Otherwise the shield plate will not
be able to be tightened. It is then no longer guaranteed that the shield plate is mounted so
that there is a reliable electrical connection.
Correct Incorrect
Note
In order to guarantee that the cable shield is connected through a large surface area, the
motor power cable is attached with a steel hose clamp at the shield plate.
Figure 12-31 Shield connection using a motor connector, crimped version, as example
Note
Measures must be taken on site to relieve strain on the cables.
The maximum permissible tensile load in the insertion direction is 100 N.
With these versions, the shield for the brake connection conductors must be routed together
with the cable shield.
12.7.6.4 Coding
The motor connector is coded using coding plugs. The coding plugs are included in the
scope of supply of the motor connector. Coding can be used to prevent motor cables being
incorrectly connected, particularly in the case of Double Motor Modules.
The coding of a motor connector is illustrated below, using the example of a connector with
screwed joint.

Handling restrictor collars for touch protection and when connecting cables
Restrictor collars are used to provide touch protection in accordance with IEC 60529. They
must be removed and adapted if necessary before the line supply conductor and/or motor
cable is connected, after which they must be reattached. To adapt the touch protection, see
Connecting the power cables (Page 617).
Exception: The cross-section of the connected cables is large enough to ensure that the
threaded bolts and the ends of the cables cannot be touched when the cover is closed.
The following components are supplied with restrictor collars as standard:
● Active Line Modules 36 kW and higher
● Smart Line Modules 36 kW and higher
● Basic Line Modules 100 kW and higher
● Motor Modules 45 A and higher
● Active Interface Modules 80 kW and higher
Supplementary conditions
● Alternative measures (e.g. routing behind mounting plates, suitable clearances) can also
be used provided they have similar results. This excludes measures that relate to the
design, installation, and routing of motor power cables and signal cables.
● If unshielded cables are used between the line supply connection point and line filter,
make sure that no interfering cables are routed in parallel.
● Power and signal cables must always be routed separately. For this purpose, it is
practical to arrange the various cables according to cable groups. Cables belonging to a
group can be combined in a bundle. The various cable groups must be routed with the
necessary clearance between them. A minimum clearance of 20 cm has proven itself in
practice. As an alternative, shielding plates with the appropriate contacts at several
locations can be used between the cable bundles.
● All cables inside the cabinet must be routed as closely as possible to parts connected
with cabinet ground, such as a mounting plate or cabinet wall. Ducts made of sheet steel
or cables routed between steel sheets (e.g. between the mounting plate and back wall)
should provide adequate shielding.
● All cables must be kept as short as possible, to minimize the antenna effect.
● Signal and power cables may cross each other (if absolutely necessary), but must never
be routed closely to one and other in parallel over longer distances.
● Signal cables must be routed with a minimum clearance of 20 cm from strong magnetic
fields (motors, transformers). Alternatively, shield plates with the appropriate contacts at
several locations along their length can be used to provide the appropriate clearance.
● Cables for the 24 V supply should be treated just like signal cables.
● Avoid, where possible, routing unshielded cables, connected to the drive line-up, in the
immediate vicinity of noise sources, e.g. transformers. Signal cables (shielded and
unshielded) connected to the drive line-up must be laid at a great distance from strong
external magnetic sources (e.g. transformers, line reactors). In both cases, a distance of
≥ 300 mm is usually sufficient.
Shield connection
The cable shields must be connected as close to the conductor terminal connections as
possible to ensure a low-impedance connection with cabinet ground. For power cables from
Siemens in which the shield is connected to the connector shell (see relevant catalog), this is
a sufficiently good shield support.
For components that do not have any special shield connection or where the shield
connection is not sufficient, the cable shields can be connected to the metal mounting plate
using hose clamps and toothed rails. The cable length between the shield contact point and
the terminals for cable conductors must be kept as short as possible.
Shield contact plates with pre-prepared clip contacts are available for contacting the shields
for power cables of Line Modules and Motor Modules. Up to a module width of 100 mm
(inclusive), these plates are part of the scope of delivery of the components, or they are
integrated in the connector.
Routing 24 V cables
When routing 24 V cables, the following must also be observed:
● A maximum of one conductor pair may be bundled together.
● 24 V conductors must be routed separately from other cables and conductors that could
conduct the operating current.
● 24 V cables must never be routed parallel to power cables.
● 24 V cables as well as power cables should be routed to the components so that they
never cover ventilation slots.
Protective connections
The SINAMICS S Booksize drive system is designed for use in cabinets with a PE conductor
connection.
The protective conductor connection of the SINAMICS components must be connected to
the protective conductor connection of the control cabinet as follows:
The values listed in this table are applicable if the protective conductor is manufactured out
of the same metal as the line conductors. If this is not the case, then the protective conductor
cross-section must be determined so that a level of conductivity is obtained that is as a
minimum, the same as the data listed in this table.
All system components and machine parts must be incorporated in the protection concept.
The protective connection (PE connection) for the motors used must be established through
the motor cable.
Copper cables with appropriate cross-sections (> 2.5 mm²) must be used for the ground
connection of PROFIBUS nodes.
Additional information about ground connection for PROFIBUS can be found at:
http://www.profibus.com/fileadmin/media/wbt/WBT_Assembly_V10_Dec06/index.html
WARNING
Danger to life caused by high leakage currents when the protective conductor in the line
feeder cable is interrupted
The drive components conduct a high leakage current via the protective conductor.
Touching conductive parts when the protective conductor is interrupted can result in death
or serious injury.
• Carefully comply with the applicable regulations for dimensioning the protective
conductor (see below).
Note
Ensure that for increased leakage currents, the local regulations for protective conductors at
the installation site are complied with.
① The protective conductor must be dimensioned in accordance with the local installation rules
for equipment with increased leakage currents. As a minimum, one of the following conditions
must be satisfied:
• The protective conductor is routed so that along its complete length it is protected against
mechanical damage.
• The protective conductor has a cross-section ≥ 10 mm2 Cu.
• A second protective conductor with the same cross-section is provided.
• When establishing the connection using an industrial plug connector according to EN
60309, the protective conductor of a multi-conductor cable must have a cross-section
≥ 2.5 mm Cu.
• As a conductor of a multi-conductor cable, the protective conductor has a cross-section ≥
2.5 mm2 Cu.
② The cable cross-section must be dimensioned in compliance with local installation rules.
③ The cable cross-sections must be dimensioned in compliance with local installation rules.
Additional details are provided in the following document "Dimensioning the protective conduc-
tor for SINAMICS S120 Booksize
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109738572)".
④ Same cross-section as the line conductor of the motor cable.

Note
If the components are installed in a sealed cabinet, an internal fan must be installed to
prevent hot spots. It is best to install the fan above the modules to optimize the air flow
(suction).
If the conditions in the plant do not allow the temperature in the cabinet to be limited to a
maximum of 40 °C, further measures must be taken. Please contact the hotline for more
information (see the Preface).
The power units must be arranged in such a way that the power (loss) is distributed equally.
The permissible current carrying capacities of the DC link busbars in the different modules
must be taken into account (see "Technical data" for the various modules).

● Control Supply Module for 24 V supply
● Internal fan at the top of the control cabinet
● One shared external air heat sink
To optimize usage of the external air heat sink, it is best to arrange the components in such
a way that the heat is dissipated equally over the surface of the external heat sink. This
means that, if possible, a large power section should be situated next to a smaller one. The
current carrying capacity of the DC-link busbars must be taken into account here.

In this example, two axial fans with a diameter of 150 mm ensure forced convection. The
ribbed heat sink, which is attached to the rear, is located in an air duct (approx. 150 mm
deep). Additional air guides at the sides improve air guidance and significantly optimize the
power unit cooling.
Note
The external heat sink must be sealed with respect to the control cabinet in accordance with
IP65.

NOTICE
Reduction of the component service lives through incorrect mounting
If you do not observe the guidelines for mounting SINAMICS components in the cabinet,
this can reduce the service life of the equipment and result in premature component failure.
• Observe the guidelines for installing SINAMICS components.
Note
For the 5 kW and 10 kW Smart Line Modules, the fan runs permanently.
Air guidance
The cooling air must flow through the components vertically from bottom (cooler region) to
top (region heated by operation).
If filtered fans, heat exchangers, or air conditioners are used, you must ensure that the air is
flowing in the right direction. You must also ensure that the warm air can escape at the top.
A ventilation clearance of at least 80 mm above and below must be observed.
WARNING
Danger to life if the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks are not carefully
observed
If the fundamental safety instructions and remaining risks in Chapter 1 (Page 27) are not
observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death may occur.
• Adhere to the fundamental safety instructions.
• When assessing the risk, take into account residual risks.
NOTICE
Damage caused by overheating resulting from covered ventilation slots
Covered ventilation slots can cause the system to overheat.
• Route the connected signal and power cables to the components in such a way that
they do not cover the ventilation slots.
Note
The distance between the discharge opening of the air condition equipment and the
electronic equipment must be at least 200 mm.
Note
If the components are mounted in a sealed cabinet, an internal air cooling system must be
installed to circulate the air and prevent hot spots. It is best to mount the fan above the
components to optimize the air flow (suction).
① Cooling unit
② Control cabinet
NOTICE
Damage to the component through condensation
Condensation on the components can cause them to fail.
• Select the air circuit and arrangement of the cooling equipment in such a way that no
condensation can form on the components.
• If required, an anti-condensation heater must be installed in the cabinet.
If air conditioners are used, the relative air humidity of the expelled air increases as the air in
the air conditioner cools and may exceed the dew point. If the relative humidity of the air
entering the SINAMICS components is over 80% for an extended period of time, it can be
assumed that the insulation of the components will fail as a result of electrochemical
reactions (see System overview (Page 35)). Using air baffle plates, for example, you must
ensure that the cold air expelled from the air conditioner mixes with warm air in the cabinet
before it enters the components. This reduces the relative air humidity to uncritical values.

Requirements
● A particle filter (particle size < 100 µm) must be installed in the cooling circuit to prevent
foreign particles from being washed in.
● Mixed installations should be avoided wherever possible.
● The permissible pressures in the cooling system must be observed.
● Cavitation must be prevented in the cooling system.
● Equipotential bonding must be provided between the components in the cooling system.
● The customer must take measures to protect the devices against condensation.
● An anti-corrosion agent and, if necessary, a biocide should be mixed into the coolant.
● If there is a risk of frost, preventive measures must be taken during operation, storage,
and transportation (e.g. emptying and blowing out with air, additional heating).
● The requirements of the coolant in terms of its properties (temperature, chemical
characteristics, etc.) must be observed.
Recommendations
● To ensure mechanical decoupling, the devices should be connected by means of hoses.
● To prevent blockages and corrosion, you are advised to install a flushback filter in the
circuit (so that residues can be rinsed out when the system is running).
● The power units should be connected to the cooling circuit by means of shut-off fittings so
that they can be disconnected from the cooling circuit for servicing or repair without
having to empty the entire cooling system. A cooling water hose (EPDM) can be used to
connect the shut-off fitting to the power unit.
NOTICE
It is possible that the heatsink will burst if the coolant connections are kept closed
As long as there is still coolant in the device, the heatsink can burst if the coolant
connections are kept closed. This is because an inadmissibly high pressure can be
generated when the coolant expands as the temperature increases.
• Do not close the coolant connections if cooling liquid is still present in the device.
Table 13- 1 Pressure drop at different coolant temperatures for Antifrogen N/H2O: 45 %
The characteristic curves for the pressure drop across the heatsinks as a function of
volumetric flow vary depending on the temperature and the Antifrogen N / water coolant mix.
Operating pressure
The operating pressure must be set according to the flow conditions in the supply and return
lines of the cooling circuit. The required coolant flow rate per time unit must be set according
to the technical data of the components. The components are normalized to a rated pressure
of 70 kPa (for coolant type H2O) via a baffle plate.
13.1.4 Installation
A closed stainless-steel cooling circuit, preferably combined with monitoring of the coolant
quality, is strongly recommended to ensure the longest possible service life for the heat sink.
NOTICE
Damage caused by incorrectly routed coolant lines
Leaking coolant can cause a short circuit.
• Route the coolant pipes very carefully.
• Fix the pipes securely and check them for leaks.
• Ensure that the pipes never come into contact with live components.
The following materials can be used for the cooling system piping:
● Pipes and corrugated piping made of stainless steel (V2A or V4A steel; NIROSTA
austenite)
● Hoses made of EPDM / EPDM with an electrical resistance <109 ohms (e.g. Semperflex
FKD; from the Semperit company, Wimpassing - Austria)
● DEMITEL® hoses made of PE / EPDM (the Telle company, Nuremberg)
● Clamps according to DIN 2871 for fixing, available for example from the Telle company
All control cabinets must be designed with a PE busbar and a good electrical connection
must be established between them.
Note
The sealing materials must be free of chlorides, graphite, and carbon (Viton® or EPDM).
Teflon-based seals are not permitted.
Note
When non-conductive hoses are used, particular attention must be paid to the equipotential
bonding of all the components (see Chapter Equipotential bonding in the cooling system
(Page 783)).
Note
• Check the cooling system for tightness after installation.
13.1.6 Commissioning
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due leaking coolant
Death or serious injury can result when coolant is touched that is at a specific voltage (i.e.
is live).
• Before venting, switch the plant or system into a no-voltage condition.
When commissioning the cooling water circuit, the following sequence must be observed:
1. Ventilate the heat sink the first time the devices are filled.
2. Remove the fixing glands located in front of the vent valve.
3. Perform ventilation.
4. Close the vent valve.
5. Screw the fixing glands tight again.
6. Check the seals.
7. Set the operating pressure according to the flow conditions of the cooling water system in
the supply and return lines.
8. Set the required cooling water flow rate per time unit.

NOTICE
Damage to the component through condensation
Condensation on the components can result in their failure.
• Appropriately control the cooling water temperature.
NOTICE
Cooling circuit damage caused by seawater
The heat sink material is damaged by seawater.
• Do not use seawater as coolant.
Note
As a general rule, tap water is not suitable for use in the cooling circuit,
although it can be mixed with de-ionized water. Losses must always be replenished with de-
ionized water.
Note
The flow created when the heat sinks are filled results in automatic ventilation, so there is no
need for the devices to be ventilated separately.
The coolant should be checked 3 months after the cooling circuit is filled for the first time
and, subsequently, once a year. If the cooling water becomes cloudy, is colored, or becomes
contaminated by mould spores, the cooling circuit must be cleaned and refilled.
An inspection glass should be provided in the cooling circuit to make it easier to check the
cooling water.
Note
Corrosion inhibitor does not need to be added if the anti-freeze Antifrogen N is used in the
right concentration (see Chapter Anti-Freeze Additive (Page 780)).
NOTICE
Damage caused by overheating when using antifreeze
The cooling system no longer functions if an excessively high percentage of antifreeze is
used.
• The maximum percentage of antifreeze must not exceed 30 %.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock caused by a cooling system leak
Cooling water mixtures with Antifrogen N are highly conductive. If the insulation does not
function, this will result in death or severe injury if you come into contact with it.
• After a coolant leak, clean the insulation system.
NOTICE
Damage to EPDM hoses as a result of additives containing oil
EPDM is destroyed by anticorrosion agents.
• When using EPDM hoses, do not use oily anticorrosion agents.
Note
Adapting the pump power
The kinematic viscosity of the cooling water is changed when adding antifreeze.
• Correspondingly adapt the pump power.
Recommendation
Twice a month Nalco N 77352 is added intermittently. The dosing quantity is 5 to 15 mg/100
liters of cooling water. This product has no adverse effect on Nalco 00GE056 corrosion
inhibitor.
Note
The type of bacteria determines the biocide.
The manufacturer's recommendations must be followed regarding the dosage and
compatibility with any inhibitor used.
It is not permissible that biocides and Antifrogen N are mixed.
Table 13- 3 Dew point temperature as a function of the relative air humidity (Φ) and the room temperature at an installa-
tion altitude of between 0 and 500 m
The dew point also depends on the absolute pressure (i.e. the installation altitude).
The dew points for lower atmospheric pressures lie below the dew points for a height=0 m.
Therefore, selecting the coolant intake temperature for a height 0 m always sufficient.
DANGER
Danger to life when live parts are touched
Before replacing the fan, you must switch off the power supplies (400 VAC and 24 VDC). A
hazardous voltage is still present for up to five minutes after the power supply has been
switched off.
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Remove the device cover or the fan cover only after a certain time.
• Check for zero voltage before removing the component.

Description
If the Line Modules and Motor Modules are kept in storage for more than two years, the DC-
link capacitors have to be reformed. If this is not performed, the units could be damaged
when they are switched on.
If the cabinet is commissioned within two years of its date of manufacture, the DC-link
capacitors do not need to be reformed. The date of manufacture can be taken from the serial
number on the rating plate.
Note
The storage period is calculated from the date of manufacture and not from the date that the
equipment was shipped.
Rating plate
Date of manufacture
The date of manufacture can be determined as follows:
Forming circuit
A defined voltage and a limited current are applied to the DC-link capacitors when forming
them. As a consequence, the internal relationships required for the DC-link capacitors to
function correctly are re-established.
The forming circuit is configured using incandescent lamps or alternatively, PTC resistors.
Components required (recommendation)
● 1 fuse switch 3-phase 400 V / 10 A
● Cable 1.5 mm2
● 3 PTC resistors 350 Ω / 35 W
(recommendation: PTC-35W PTC800620-350 Ohm, Michael Koch GmbH)
● 3 incandescent lamps 230 V / 100 W
● Various small components, such as lamp socket, etc.
DANGER
Danger to life through electric shock due to the residual charge of the DC-link capacitors
Due to the DC-link capacitors, a hazardous voltage is present in the DC link for up to five
minutes after the power supply has been switched off.
Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• Do not open the protective cover of the DC link until five minutes have elapsed.
• Check that the cabinet is de-energized.
Note
Line Modules are formed by means of a connected Motor Module. See Forming circuits of
Line Modules.
Figure 14-2 Forming circuit for Line Modules with incandescent lamps
Figure 14-3 Forming circuit for Line Modules with PTC resistors
Figure 14-4 Forming circuit for Motor Modules with incandescent lamps
Figure 14-5 Forming circuit for Motor Modules with PTC resistors
Procedure
1. Be sure to remove the DC-link bridge before forming the DC-link capacitors.
2. Make sure that the device does not receive a switch-on command (e.g. from the
keyboard, BOP20 or terminal block).
3. Connect the forming circuit.
While forming, the incandescent lamps must go dark or go out completely. If the
incandescent lamps continue to be brightly lit, a fault has occurred in the drive unit or in
the wiring.
For forming using PTC resistors, the modules must remain in the circuit for approx. 1h.
The resistors will become very hot if there is a fault in the unit (surface temperature > 80°
C).
