1st Quarter 2019Electrical switching & drive systems & components
Siemens is launching the brand new Sinamics G120X converter series for use in pump and fan applications in industries such as water, wastewater and building technology. With a power range of 0,75 to 630 kW, these converters can be operated with any motor. They are at their most effective running with synchronous reluctance motors from Siemens. They are configured for cost-optimised and resource-saving operation across all voltages and supply networks, and their compact design saves space in the control cabinet. The integrated safety functions are certified to SIL3. These converters offer outstanding ease of operation and are simple to commission using the Sinamics Smart Access Module and the IOP-2 operator panel.
Their integrated DC link reactor enables them to run with the utmost stability under all network conditions. A high C2 (optionally C1) EMC category and a protection rating of IP20 (optionally IP21 in UL open type) ensure that the converters can be reliably used in any kind of industrial environment. Sinamics G120X converters are in compliance with all relevant EU energy saving standards, and offer an operating efficiency level of over 98%.
Sinamics G120X converters can be linked to MindSphere over Sinamics Connect 300, offering users the opportunity to analyse valuable operating data using the MindSphere app, Analyze MyDrives. This enables the visualisation and analysis of status information, providing users with valuable data which can be used as the basis for optimising processes and maintenance strategies.
