1.14.2.3 Partial load efficiency of S120 Smart Line Modules
The chart below shows the partial-load efficiency of air-cooled SINAMICS S120 Smart Line Modules.The calculations
are based on a typical efficiency at full load of 98.5 %. The efficiency is represented as a function of the active output
power ratio P

1.14.2.4 Partial load efficiency of S120 Active Line Modules + Active Interface Modules
The chart below shows the partial-load efficiency of air-cooled and liquid-cooled SINAMICS S120 Active Line
Modules including the assigned air-cooled Active Interface Modules. The calculations are based on typical efficiency
values at full load. These are 98.5 % with Active Line Modules and 99 % with the assigned Active Interface Modules,
corresponding to a total efficiency η
100-(ALM+AIM)
= 97.5 %. The efficiency is represented as a function of the active
output power ratio P
