The SINAMICS G115D is a distributed wall-mounted drive series for horizontal conveyor applications. The 6SL3520-1XE02-2AF0 delivers 2.2 kW at 5.9 A rated output (11.8 A overload) in the FSB frame with natural convection cooling. This gland-type variant features an integral Category C2 line filter and sealed cable gland power entry. The 2.2 kW rating marks the transition from the compact FSA frame to the larger FSB platform.

Why does the G115D switch to FSB at 2.2 kW?

The FSA frame (380 × 156 × 129 mm) handles motors up to 1.5 kW with natural convection. At 2.2 kW, heat dissipation exceeds FSA capability — the FSB frame provides a larger heatsink area while maintaining fanless operation. The gland-type 1XE02 uses individual cable gland feeds rather than quick-connect or daisy-chain connectors, making it suitable for installations where each drive is independently powered.

Key specifications

The drive operates from a 3 AC 380–480 V supply (45–66 Hz) with an output frequency range of 0–550 Hz. High-overload capability delivers 200% for 3 seconds and 150% for 57 seconds. Integrated PROFINET and Ethernet IP interfaces connect directly to SIMATIC controllers. The built-in RFI filter meets Category C2 requirements.
