The Siemens 6SL3202-0AE21-8CA0 is a high-quality output reactor designed to enhance the performance and longevity of power modules in a variety of industrial applications. This component is engineered to operate with 3-phase power modules, specifically within a voltage range of 380 to 480 V and is capable of handling a current of up to 18.5 A.

With dimensions of 247 x 100 x 215 mm, the reactor is compact enough to fit into various configurations while providing the necessary buffering and smoothing of electrical signals. Its robust design ensures that it can withstand the rigours of industrial environments, making it a reliable choice for businesses looking to optimise their electrical systems.

The output reactor is particularly effective in reducing voltage stress on motor windings, which is crucial for the protection and extended life of motors. It also serves to diminish capacitive charging and discharging currents that can occur when long motor cables are used, thereby safeguarding the inverter's output.

This component is an essential part of a well-designed drive system, contributing to improved efficiency and reduced electromagnetic interference. Its integration into your power setup can lead to smoother operation and potentially lower maintenance costs over time. The Siemens 6SL3202-0AE21-8CA0 is a testament to Siemens' commitment to quality and performance in industrial power solutions.

What is the purpose of an output reactor?

An output reactor, like the Siemens 6SL3202-0AE21-8CA0, is used to reduce voltage stress on motor windings, which is particularly beneficial when long motor cables are used. It also helps in reducing capacitive charging and discharging currents that can place additional load on the inverter's output.

Can this output reactor be used with any motor?

The Siemens output reactor is designed to be used with three-phase AC motors within its specified voltage range of 380 to 480 V and current rating of 18.5 A. It's important to match the reactor's specifications with the motor's requirements for compatibility.

What are the dimensions and weight of this output reactor?

The dimensions of the Siemens output reactor are 247 x 100 x 215 mm, and it weighs approximately 10.1 kg.

How do I connect the output reactor to my system?

The output reactor should be connected using screw terminals for the power connection to the motor, with a conductor cross-section of 10.00 mm². It also has an M5 screw stud for the PE connection. Ensure that all connections are secure and comply with the technical specifications.

What is the rated current and power loss of this reactor?

The rated current for the Siemens 6SL3202-0AE21-8CA0 output reactor is 18.5 A, and it has a power loss of 0.080 kW.

What is the degree of protection for this output reactor?

The output reactor has a degree of protection of IP20 / UL open type, indicating that it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm but not against water. It should be installed inside a cabinet for additional protection.

Is there a specific switching frequency for this output reactor?

Yes, the output reactor is designed to work only at a 4 kHz switching frequency. Before using the reactor, parameters P1800 and P0290 must be set to P1800 = 4 and P0290 = 0 or 1.

What cable length can be used with this output reactor?

When using the output reactor, it is recommended to use a shielded cable with a maximum length of 100 m to connect it.

What should be considered regarding the ambient operating temperature?

The ambient operating temperature of the power module must be strictly observed. The maximum ambient temperature without derating is 40 °C.

How can I ensure the output reactor operates efficiently?

To ensure efficient operation, provide adequate clearance and ventilation around the output reactor as it gets hot during operation. Also, ensure that it is installed within the specified ambient temperature range and that the switching frequency settings are correct.
