The 6SL3224-0BE31-1UA0 is the PM240 Power Module, a core hardware component of the Siemens SINAMICS G120 modular inverter system. This module features a modular design and possesses no internal control logic. It must be paired with a G120 Control Unit and an operator panel to form a complete AC drive inverter system.
It utilizes a Frame Size C (FSC) enclosure encapsulation
An internal braking chopper is natively integrated
A single hardware module supports both Light Overload (LO) and High Overload (HO) configuration modes
The power terminal configuration features separate connections for line supply (U1, V1, W1), motor output (U2, V2, W2), and the DC link/braking resistor, enabling clear segregation of high-voltage wiring within industrial enclosures. The modular structure allows the power section to be separated from the control unit, preventing thermal and electrical noise transfer between the power switches and the low-voltage electronics. Airflow within the housing passes exclusively over the aluminum heat sink via a replaceable cooling fan, isolating internal electronics from direct exposure to ambient cooling air contaminants. For applications exceeding 1,000 meters altitude or 40/50 °C environment parameters, the rated output current decreases according to standard factory derating curves to ensure thermal equilibrium.
The power module integrates an internal braking chopper, allowing direct connection of an external braking resistor through the DC link terminals to dissipate regenerative electromagnetic energy returned during motor deceleration. As an unfiltered variant, the line side requires the addition of a line reactor or an external filter based on field electromagnetic compatibility requirements to suppress network harmonics and reduce conducted interference. This hardware module is widely used in speed control loops for rotating prime movers, including multi-pump controls, fan variable-frequency retrofits, and high-load material handling conveyor lines.

Water Treatment
Adjusts the motor speed of aeration blowers and submersible pumps based on realtime flow demand to reduce plant energy consumption.
Oil & Gas Wells
Regulates oilfield water injection and crude oil transfer pumps to stabilize pipeline pressure and prevent pipe overpressurization.
Chemical Production
Drives mixing vessel agitators and dosing pumps to maintain steady fluid flow and accurate chemical reaction ratios.
Cement Plants
Powers clinker conveyor belts, raw material feeders, and separators, supplying high starting torque in dust-heavy plant environments.
Metallurgical & Steel
Drives dust extraction fans, blast furnace cooling water pumps, and slag granulation pumps in steel mills, dynamically adjusting air/water volume.
Paper & Pulp Industry
Controls pulp stock pumps and dryer exhaust fans in paper mills, ensuring stable pulp flow and accurate dewatering control.
Select the HO (11 kW) or LO (15 kW) mode based on the load. Because it is unfiltered, an external line filter or reactor is required to meet EMC standards.The ambient operating temperature must not exceed 40 °C for LO or 50 °C for HO. Derating applies beyond these limits or above 1,000 meters altitude. Connect the line supply, motor, and braking resistor terminals correctly, keeping shielded motor cables under 50 meters.
The 6SL3224-0BE31-1UA0 features an unfiltered design as indicated by the suffix UA0. Industrial sites with strict electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) mandates typically require an external, original Siemens Class B line filter. The module features internal forced-air cooling. It operates from -10 °C to +50 °C under High Overload (HO) conditions and from -10 °C to +40 °C under Low Overload (LO) conditions.
It is a PM240 Power Module within the Siemens SINAMICS G120 inverter series.
Can 6SL3224-0BE31-1UA0 run directly as a standalone inverter?
No. It is only the power execution stage of the inverter. It must be paired with a Control Unit (e.g., CU240E-2) and an operator panel (e.g., BOP-2) to form a complete functional drive system.
What are the input power requirements for 6SL3224-0BE31-1UA0?
It requires a three-phase AC (3AC) supply with a voltage range of 380 V to 480 V and a line frequency of 50/60 Hz.
