The Siemens SINAMICS V20 Series Inverter Drive is a compact and robust device designed to enhance the efficiency of variable speed applications in industrial settings. With a voltage range of 380 to 480 V ac and a high overload capacity, it is well-suited for tasks that require reliability and precision. This inverter drive boasts a rated power of up to 30 kW (40 hp) in Low Overload (LO) mode and 22 kW (30 hp) in High Overload (HO) mode, catering to a wide array of performance requirements.
The SINAMICS V20 is engineered for straightforward mounting and installation, with options for through-hole mounting, wall mounting, or side-by-side mounting, making it versatile for various spatial configurations. It features an IP20 degree of protection, ensuring that it is safeguarded against solid objects larger than 12mm, although it should be housed in a suitable enclosure for protection against dust and moisture when necessary.
This inverter drive is equipped with multiple input and output options, including four standard digital inputs, two analog inputs that can double as additional digital inputs, and digital outputs that come in both relay changeover contact and transistor configurations. The analog output count stands at one, providing flexibility for control and feedback systems.
Communication with the SINAMICS V20 is facilitated through USS and Modbus RTU protocols, allowing for seamless integration into existing automation networks. The device operates efficiently with a power factor greater than 0.72 and an efficiency rating of approximately 0.98, signifying its capability to minimise energy loss and operational costs.
The SINAMICS V20 can handle a variety of environmental conditions, with an operational ambient temperature range of -10 to 60 °C and a storage temperature range of -40 to 70 °C. It is designed to function optimally up to an installation altitude of 1000 meters without derating, and its external fan cooling system ensures stable operation even under demanding conditions.
With dimensions of 245 x 209 x 264.5 mm and a net weight of 6.45 kg, the SINAMICS V20 is compact yet powerful, making it an excellent choice for applications such as pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyor systems in the manufacturing, processing, and handling sectors. Its adherence to international standards, including CE, cULus, C-Tick (RCM), and KC, further underscores its global applicability and compliance with regulatory requirements.
