Frequency converter updated

10th January 2020

A frequency converter designed specifically for use in water and wastewater applications and in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, is now available in a three-phase 3 AC 200 V voltage variant in the power range up to 55 kW.

The updates are aimed at making the units more user-friendly and offering space-saving installation options.

The Voltage variant of Sinamics G120X converter now has the potential to be integrated seamlessly into applications in the US and Latin America. In addition, the converter is said to be suitable for use in harsh environments, due to its robust construction and the coating of the PCBs according to 3C3 standards.

The new module for extending the digital and analogue inputs and outputs potentially increases the flexibility and control of converter-guided applications. The converter now also supports the communication protocols Profibus, Modbus RTU, USS and BACnet MS/TP. It is equipped with a number of interfaces and can be integrated into existing or new systems.

The Sinamics G120 modular frequency converter combines with the control unit adapter kit CUA20 to provide an option for simple and flexible cabinet design. The adapter kit supports DNV GL-certified cabinet designs. Power modules and the control unit can be separated physically and thermally, making the converter more flexible and allowing for customisation.

A new Sinamics V20 converter size has been added in the 2.2 kW to 3 kW power range. The 32% smaller size FSAD with cabinet dimensions of 176.5 mm x 136.6 mm x 158 mm makes it a more flexible and space-saving solution.
