6.3 Rated data, permissible output currents, maximum output frequencies
6.3.1 Permissible output currents and maximum output frequencies
With SINAMICS S120 Motor Modules, the maximum output frequency is limited to about 100 Hz or about 160 Hz due
to the factory-set pulse frequency in vector control mode (vector-type drive object) of f
Pulse
= 1.25 kHz (current
controller clock cycle = 400 μs) or f
Pulse
= 2.00 kHz (current controller clock cycle = 250 μ). The pulse frequency must
be increased if higher output frequencies are to be achieved. Since the switching losses in the motor-side inverter
increase when the pulse frequency is raised, the output current must be reduced accordingly.
Permissible output current and maximum output frequency as a function of pulse frequency
The table below states the rated output currents of SINAMICS S120 Motor Modules in Chassis format with the factory-set
pulse frequency, as well as the current derating factors at higher pulse frequencies (permissible output currents referred to
the rated output current). The table applies both to air-cooled and liquid-cooled units. In addition to the output power of the
relevant Motor Module, the first column also states the Chassis frame size(s) for which the current derating factors are valid.
The pulse frequencies for the values in the orange boxes can be selected simply by changing a parameter (even
during operation), i.e. they do not necessitate a change to the factory-set current controller clock cycle. The pulse
frequencies for the values in the grey boxes require a change in the factory-set current controller clock cycle and can
therefore be selected only at the commissioning stage. The assignment between current controller clock cycles and
possible pulse frequencies can be found in the List Manual (Parameter List).

1) The 800 kW liquid-cooled Motor Module in frame size HXL should only be operated at the factory-set pulse frequency of 1.25 kHz. Where higher
pulse frequencies are required, the 800 kW liquid-cooled Motor Module in frame size JXL should be used because to the better current derating factors
