Three phase — 5 HP Siemens V20 AC Drive
Siemens V20 AC drive, three-phase input, 5 HP / 4.0 kW.
Overview
This is a Siemens V20 variable frequency drive (model 6SL3210-5BE24-0UV0), rated 5 HP / 4.0 kW, taking a three-phase AC supply (380-480 V AC, 47-63 Hz) and outputting three-phase power to run a standard induction motor at variable speed. Rated input current is 11.3 A, output current 8.8 A - frame size B, cooled by a single fan.
It takes a 150% overload for 60 seconds, covers an output frequency range of 0 to 550 Hz, and offers linear, quadratic and multi-point V/f control plus flux current control (FCC), set up from its own built-in keypad with connection and application macros or over an RS-485 port running USS or Modbus RTU.
There is no single-phase-input equivalent at this rating - the single-phase V20 range tops out at 4 HP / 3.0 kW, so a motor needing more requires a three-phase supply regardless of drive choice. For less power, the 4 HP model (6SL3210-5BE23-0UV0) covers a lighter motor; for more, the 7 HP and 10 HP models step up further.
The V20 is a genuine Siemens product, not a Tiny Controls design - it is supplied, not assembled or designed, in India.

Questions
What size motor or load does this suit?
Rated 5 HP / 4.0 kW output, 8.8 A output current. There's no single-phase-input equivalent at this rating — the single-phase V20 range tops out at 4 HP / 3.0 kW, so a motor needing more requires a three-phase supply regardless of drive choice.
How is it programmed — keypad, or a PC?
Either: the built-in keypad (with connection and application macros), or remotely over an RS-485 port running USS or Modbus RTU.
What protects the drive if something goes wrong?
The standard SINAMICS V20 fault set: overcurrent (F1), overvoltage (F2), undervoltage (F3) and inverter overtemperature (F4) trips, per the manual's fault code table.
What input supply does it need?
Three-phase 380-480 V AC, 47-63 Hz.
