Siemens UK & Ireland is now offering a 690V wide voltage range for the SINAMICS G120P converter series which can be used for additional pump and fan applications. The G120P series has a number of integrated, time-saving functions such as pump cascades, multi-zone control, dry running, blocking and V-belt monitoring, and a smoke extraction mode.

These functions, combined with full integration to Siemens’ Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal, mean up to 30% of the engineering time can be saved. An inbuilt software wizard also facilitates fast, reliable commissioning.

The devices are above 98% efficient, according to the new European energy efficiency standard EN 50598. This significantly reduces operating costs and improves CO2 balance. Depending on the operating mode, many ways of fine-tuning energy consumption are offered, such as automatically adapting the magnetic flux in the motor to the current load conditions, optimising output pulses, and use of an energy-saving standby mode.

The converters are available in two design variants, with cabinet widths starting from 600mm and various degrees of protection up to IP54. All models have a rugged, maintenance-free design which can cope with extremely harsh industrial environments, like those found in the energy, water and processing industries.

Andy Hodgson, General Manager – Motion Control, Digital Factory, Siemens UK & Ireland comments: “These new devices offer protection from harsh industrial environments for manufacturers requiring a higher voltage converter.  We are continually reviewing and investing in SINAMICS and our other product ranges to ensure they meet manufacturers’ needs now, and in the future.”
