Siemens, global leader in drive technology, has released its latest generation of medium voltage drives. The Sinamics GH180 line incorporates a newly designed power cell with a reduced part count that increases unit reliability and reduces space requirements. The new drive delivers a number of advantages and improvements.

  • High reliability with fault tolerance through cell redundancy and Siemens Advanced Cell Bypass
  • Energy efficiency through improved unit control for better throughput and less energy waste
  • Delivers near unity power factor by eliminating harmonic current and voltage distortion
  • Reduced motor insulation stress and harmonic heating
  • Significant torque pulsations eliminated from load
  • Proactively alerts operator of potential issues before they become shutdown worthy problems
The drives are suitable for new and retrofit installations because of their compact size. A range of models cover applications from 300 kVA through 18,000 kVA.

A datasheet is included below that provides more detail. Share your motor drive challenges and applications with a product specialist and combine your process and facility knowledge with their product application expertise to develop effective solutions.
