At 5.5 kW (13.2 A rated, 26.4 A overload), the 6SL3520-0XA05-5AB0 is the entry point to the FSC frame in the 0XA0x catalog system — the smaller of two FSC power ratings, paired with the 0XA07 at 7.5 kW. The 0XA05-5 maps to the same 5.5 kW hardware as 0XA25-5, 0XA65-5, and 1XE45-5 across the other catalog code systems — identical 425 × 180 × 169 mm FSC frame with integrated fan cooling handling 170.9 W power loss.

Where does 5.5 kW fit in the conveyor power hierarchy?

The 5.5 kW FSC bridges the mid-to-high power transition on a conveyor network. Below it, FSB drives at 2.2–4 kW handle individual zone sections and moderate inclines. Above it, the 7.5 kW FSC powers the main trunk conveyors and pallet-handling systems. The 5.5 kW unit typically serves as the collection conveyor — gathering product from multiple 0.75–2.2 kW infeed zones and feeding the 7.5 kW trunk. The 13.2 A continuous output with 200% overload covers the combined load of several downstream zones accumulating product simultaneously. The 88 Ω integrated braking resistor (20 W continuous) handles the regenerative energy when a loaded collection conveyor decelerates.

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. The 88 Ω integrated braking resistor (20 W continuous, 200 W peak) supports dynamic braking for collection and merge conveyor sections. Integrated PROFINET and Ethernet IP interfaces connect directly to SIMATIC controllers. The built-in C2 RFI filter meets EN 61800-3 Category C2 conducted emission limits.
