Drives Offered in Smaller Frame Size



Sinamics G120C FSAA has a smaller footprint, up to 32% less volume, but is designed to deliver comparable features to previous version of this Siemens drive.

New Sinamics G120C FSAA in frame size AA from Siemens Industry, Inc.

Siemens has made available its Sinamics G120C drive in AA size, which replaces the previous G120C frame size A in power ratings up to 2.2 kW (3 HP), including communication variants for USS, PROFIBUS, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP. Designed to provide high power density in a smaller footprint, the new "tiny drive" offers fully compatible replacement for the equivalent power ratings on the previous version.

"On new control cabinet designs, the G120C FSAA has significant size advantages, up to 32% less overall volume, for the OEM or integrator, but requires no re-engineering when migrating from the G120C FSA on current jobs," said a company spokesperson. Overall dimensions on the smaller unit, designed for use with PROFIBUS and USS variants, are 173 mm high x 73 mm wide x 155 mm deep (6.8" x 2.8" x 6.1").

Other benefits of the new G120C FSAA include use with increased motor cable lengths, up to 50 m (165') for shielded and 150 m (495') for unshielded, plus identical voltage ratings, current ratings, load cycles and compatibility with all standard Siemens options such as operator panels, input and output chokes and external Class B EMC filters.

The G120C FSAA offers UL open type, IP20 protection in the 0.55 - 2.2 kW (0.75 - 3 HP) range.

Typical applications for this product span a broad machine and equipment range, including smaller test stands, mixers, conveyors, fans, pumps, compressors and basic production machinery.
