Maximum safety and the highest productivity.
Whether low-voltage variable-speed drive with inverter up to 690V from 2.2 kW up to 6600 KW as standard product – or customized special solution including industrial switchgear for drive applications: Your requirements define our solution. Based on our products and systems, you create an efficient basis for your plant or system to achieve maximum safety, reliability and the highest degree of productivity. When all is said and done, our energy-efficient drive systems help to significantly reduce your operating costs. You can completely depend on us: whenever important requirements regarding explosion protection are placed on drive systems. We look after the complete drive package. Our inverters are designed to feed explosion-protected motors with types of protection EEx n, EEx e, EEx p and EEx d, and with the PTC thermistor evaluation, are certified according to ATEX. The thermal motor protection is realized using temperature sensors, which are directly evaluated in the inverter. As a result of the ATEX-certified PTC thermistor input at the inverter, no additional accessories are required, such as main contactor or PTC relay.
We are there to help and support you.
We can answer all of your questions – for instance:
- What is the correct inverter clock cycle frequency?
- What is the maximum permissible terminal voltage in the motor terminal box?
- What voltage peaks does the motor see when long motor cables are used? 
- What winding insulation must the motor have? 
- Mush winding or preformed winding? 
- Should the motor be protected using PTC and/or PT100? 
- etc.

Simple commissioning software for the complete series of Siemens vfd SINAMICS G180.

All of the SINAMICS G180 versions are based on a standard platform concept. Common hardware and software components as well as standard tools for dimensioning, engineering and commissioning guarantee a high degree of uniformity and standardization between all of the components. SINAMICS G180 have the same properties with identical possibilities.

Terminal strip in compliance with NAMUR Recommendation NE37.
Already in the basic versions, SINAMICS G180 units fulfill the terminal designation specifications according to NAMUR, Edition 2010, and are therefore ideally suited for use in the chemical industry.
Well thought-out communications.
Communication via conventional terminal strip with freely programmable digital and analog inputs/outputs: 
- Parameterizable limit value signals
- Parameterizable timers 
- Parameterizable damping elements 
- Parameterizable inverter behavior when inputs/outputs respond 
- Parameterizable logic elements 
- Communication and parameterization via PC using IMS (Inverter Management Software) via USB interface 
- External operator panel via RS485 bus systems such as Ethernet (PROFIBUS board with Ethernet – PROFIBUS converter.

Siemens frequency inverter SINAMICS G180 series is optimally installed – also with liquid cooling.

When compared to air cooling, water cooling offers numerous advantages. This is reflected in the trend to watercooled motors and inverters. In the past, water cooling was restricted, with only some exceptions, to motors. In the meantime, it is being increasingly used for inverters. Decisive factors: The possibility of realizing increasingly larger power ratings, space-saving and the fact that it is simpler to dissipate the heat from the electrical room.

Coolant flows directly through the power unit heat sinks. The complete assembly comprises one or several aluminum cooling plates, in which stainless steel pipes are embedded. The power range extends from 200 kW up to 6,600 KW.
- Heat can be easily dissipated from the electrical room 
- High cabinet degrees of protection can be implemented 
- Therefore allowing installation in polluted environments 
- Lower noise level 
- The efficiency can be increased through heat recovery.
The solenoid valve integrated in the inverter (-Y1) controls the coolant dependent on the temperature of the ambient air, therefore effectively protecting the inverter against condensation.
