SINAMICS
Variable Frequency Drives
Drive selection based on motor data, load profile, control method and supply conditions.
From component supply to complete VFD panels, Honghao reviews the motor nameplate, overload requirement, braking, EMC, enclosure and communication scope before final configuration. Availability and technical suitability are confirmed at quotation.
Request price & lead time Final specifications are confirmed by article number.

01How do I choose between SINAMICS V20, G120 and S120?
SINAMICS drive selection
Use V20 for suitable basic-performance duties, evaluate G120 for modular general-purpose applications with broader options, and consider S120 for coordinated axes or demanding drive systems. Motor data, load duty, control performance, safety, regenerative operation and network architecture decide the platform.

how to size a Siemens VFD
No. Rated motor current, supply voltage, overload, torque profile, speed range, ambient temperature, altitude, switching frequency, braking and duty cycle can change the required drive and derating. Final selection should follow current and application duty.
See the VFD panel input list03Which accessories may be needed around a SINAMICS drive?
SINAMICS drive accessories
Depending on the system, review the control unit or operator panel, line reactor or filter, braking components, output reactor or filter, communication module, shielding and earthing hardware, protective devices and cooling. The exact set depends on the article number and installation.

The information needed for a technically usable offer.
What should I send for a SINAMICS quotation?
SINAMICS quotation
Send the full article number for replacements. For a new application, provide motor, load, control, installation, quantity, destination and required delivery date. Honghao will identify assumptions before confirming the BOM.
Send product or application dataHow does Honghao verify SINAMICS compatibility?
SINAMICS compatibility check
The review checks the complete article number, product generation, required accessories, electrical and communication interfaces, lifecycle status and the surrounding system. Final ratings remain tied to current manufacturer documentation and the approved BOM.
See the BOM verification methodCan SINAMICS products be supplied inside a complete control panel?
SINAMICS control panel
Yes, when the contracted scope includes panel engineering. The design basis should define power, protection, environment, interfaces, drawings, programming responsibility, FAT and export documentation before assembly.
