G120X Infrastructure Drive: Optimized for Pump & Fan Applications

SINAMICS G120X
 
SINAMICS G120X Infrastructure drive for pump, fan and compressor applications is simple, seamless, cost and energy efficient, robust, reliable and fit for digitalization. It integrates easily into existing applications, works with any standard motor, and can be configured for cost-optimization and resource-saving operation – reducing the total cost of ownership.
 


SINAMICS G120X drives are less complex and more reliable, delivering improved performance for water, wastewater, irrigation, HVAC and other challenging infrastructure applications.

Made for air and water - and fit for the future

The SINAMICS G120X series offers the right features for infrastructure applications

Saving you time!  Features that bring new levels of simplicity and reliability

  • Wide power and voltage ranges up to 700 hp (630 kW) with same look, feel and user interface
  • Flexibility: SINAMICS G120X can be operated with any motor – most effectively with Siemens synchronous-reluctance motors
  • Fast and simple ordering process with a single catalog number (article number) to order a complete drive with control unit and a high resolution graphical color keypad - the Intelligent Operator Panel (IOP-2) – in a single box
  • Simple integration into existing applications
  • Simple connection to the Cloud using SINAMICS CONNECT 300
  • Simple maintenance: SINAMICS G120X indicates when service is required (using the Analyze MyDrives MindSphere application)

Stable in virtually any environment – So your drive application is always available

  • Optional “special” coating (Class 3C3) on the power boards for operation in harsh environments (where corrosive gases such as Hydrogen Sulfide (H 2S) are present)
  • The drive operates with a high degree of stability – even during line supply fluctuations
  • Improved EMC and grid (harmonics) performance due to integral DC choke (FSA-FSG, up to 400 hp / 250 kW)
  • SINAMICS G120X's operating temperature extends from -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C )(depending on the exact version). The converter complies with IP20 with an option for IP21 in UL open type. Coated modules are standard, 3C3 pollutant resistance is optionally available
  • Standard warranty 24 months and an additional 6 months with product registration

Configured for cost-optimization and resource-saving operation which ultimately helps reduce total cost of ownership.

  • Efficiency exceeding 98%
  • Integral DC choke (FSA-G) eliminates the requirement of an external line reactor
  • Flexibility: can be operated with any motor – most effectively with Siemens synchronous-reluctance motors
  • Designed to deliver constant power at a current according to NEC table 430.250 at 3AC 480V and 600V, and at an operating temperature of 45ºC without derating, and up to 60 ºC (55 ºC with PROFINET, EtherNet/IP™ version) with derating
  • New design feature enables UL Open Type / IP20 drive to use an optional add-on Push-Through (PT) kit 2, which reduces or eliminates need for cabinet fans, associated components and wiring, and also facilitates cost efficient NEMA / UL Type 1, 12 or 3R designs with an appropriately NEMA / UL-rated external enclosure
  • SINAMICS G120X meets all latest industry standards with regard to energy efficiency and product safety and offers enhanced safety with SIL3 rated safety functions and up to 100kA short-circuit current rating according to UL61800-5-1
  • For low dynamic loads, the ECO mode ensures the best possible performance and lowest losses. It also optimizes the output power to reduce the energy consumption of the driven load

Made for water and air

  • Built-in features and functions dedicated to industrial pump, fan and compressor applications
  • Provides enhanced product safety through UL61800-5-1 certification (CULUS) up to 100kA SCCR which makes SINAMICS G120X exclusive in the industry for the focused segments — i.e. industrial pump, fan and compressor, water / wastewater, HVAC and irrigation markets
  • Hardware-based SIL3-rated Safe Torque Off (STO) with a switch to activate or deactivate this safety function

Control unit redesigned

  • To accept 16 AWG (1.5mm 2) wire with removable connectors for easy and fast control wiring via pre-manufactured wiring harness
  • To allow 2x wire connections per terminal for certain terminals for ease of connections
  • Frame sizes A–C redesigned to fit in the standard MCC plug-in type bucket
  • Simple commissioning (using the multi-color IOP-2 operator panel or Smart Access Module) to run a motor of matching power rating
