Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the Siemens 6SL3224-0BE31-5UA0?

It is an unfiltered PM240 Power Module for the SINAMICS G120 drive system, rated at 18.5 kW for low overload and 15 kW for high overload. It operates on 380–480 V 3 AC and includes an integrated braking chopper.

Q2: Is this product still in production?

No. The 6SL3224 PM240 series has been discontinued by Siemens. It is available only through remaining stock or third-party suppliers. The successor is the PM240-2 series, specifically 6SL3210-1PE31-5UL0.

Q3: What is the difference between Low Overload (LO) and High Overload (HO)?

Low Overload (LO) is for applications with moderate overload requirements (150% for 3s), suitable for pumps, fans, and conveyors. High Overload (HO) is for applications requiring higher starting torque (200% for 3s), suitable for mixers, extruders, and positive displacement pumps.

Q4: Does this power module require a Control Unit?

Yes. The PM240 is a power module only. It must be paired with a compatible SINAMICS G120 Control Unit (such as CU240E-2 or CU250S-2) to form a complete frequency converter.

Q5: Does this module have an integrated EMC filter?

No. This is the unfiltered variant (UA0 suffix). For an integrated Class A filter, the 6SL3224-0BE31-5AA0 variant should be selected.

Q6: What is the successor model?

The designated successor is 6SL3210-1PE31-5UL0 from the PM240-2 series. Note that the PM240-2 typically requires a Control Unit with firmware >4.6; older CUs may not be compatible.

Q7: Does this module include a braking chopper?

Yes. The PM240 includes an integrated braking chopper for connection of an external braking resistor, enabling dynamic braking for high-inertia loads.

Q8: What are the dimensions and weight?

Dimensions are 419 × 275 × 204 mm (H × W × D). Weight is approximately 13 kg (unfiltered).

Q9: What is the protection class?

The module is rated IP20 for installation in protected cabinets.

Q10: What should I verify before ordering?

Always verify the exact part number (6SL3224-0BE31-5UA0 for unfiltered), confirm your motor power and overload requirements (18.5 kW LO / 15 kW HO), ensure your Control Unit firmware is compatible, and check whether you should migrate to the successor PM240-2 for improved availability.
