About this manual

The SINAMICS G120 is a modular variable‑frequency drive system used to power three‑phase AC motors. The guide outlines the technical requirements, such as supply voltage, motor rating, load type, environment temperature and altitude, and walks through the selection steps for both power modules and control units.

It provides detailed information on power‑module options (0.37 kW‑250 kW), load classifications (light LO and heavy HO), derating curves for high altitude or temperature, and the available control‑unit communication interfaces (USS/MODBUS RTU, PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET) and I/O configurations, including encoder support. This manual is written in Chinese.

Frequently asked questions

What power range does the SINAMICS G120 support?

It supports power modules from 0.37 kW up to 250 kW.

Which supply voltages can be used with the G120?

The drive can be powered by single‑phase 220 V, three‑phase 220 V, or three‑phase 380 V.

How must the G120 be derated for high altitude or temperature?

If the installation altitude is above 1000 m or the ambient temperature exceeds 40 °C, the drive’s capacity must be reduced according to the derating curve.
