Critical Migration Note: The successor PM240-2 (6SL3210-1PE32-5UL0) requires a Control Unit with firmware version V4.7 HF8 or higher. Older Control Units (e.g., FW 4.4) may not be compatible. The PM240-2 also has slightly different dimensions (708 × 305 × 357 mm) and higher HO overload capability (200% for 3s vs. 160% for 3s on the PM240) .

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the Siemens 6SL3224-0BE41-1UA0?
It is an unfiltered PM240 Power Module for the SINAMICS G120 drive system, rated at 132 kW for low overload and 110 kW for high overload. It operates on 380–480 V 3 AC and includes an integrated braking chopper .
Q2: Is this product still in production?
No. Siemens lists it as a spare part only (Phase-Out status). The PM240 series has been superseded by the PM240-2 series. It is available only through remaining stock or third-party suppliers .
Q3: What is the successor model?
The designated successor is 6SL3210-1PE32-5UL0 from the PM240-2 series. Note that the PM240-2 requires a Control Unit with firmware V4.7 HF8 or higher .
Q4: What is the difference between Low Overload (LO) and High Overload (HO)?
Low Overload (LO) is for applications with moderate overload requirements (150% for 3s), suitable for pumps, fans, and conveyors. High Overload (HO) is for applications requiring higher starting torque (160% for 3s), suitable for mixers, extruders, and positive displacement pumps .
Q5: Does this power module require a Control Unit?
Yes. The PM240 is a power module only. It must be paired with a compatible SINAMICS G120 Control Unit (such as CU240E-2 or CU250S-2) to form a complete frequency converter .
Q6: Does this module have an integrated EMC filter?
No. This is the unfiltered variant (UA0 suffix). For an integrated Class A filter, the 6SL3224-0BE41-1AA0 variant should be selected .
Q7: Does this module include a braking chopper?
Yes. The PM240 includes an integrated braking chopper for connection of an external braking resistor (minimum 5.5 Ohm), enabling dynamic braking for high-inertia loads .
Q8: What are the dimensions and weight?
Dimensions are 634 × 350 × 316 mm (H × W × D). Weight is approximately 39 kg .
Q9: What is the protection class and operating temperature?
The module is rated IP20 for installation in protected cabinets. Operating temperature is 0 to +40 °C for LO and 0 to +50 °C for HO .
Q10: What should I verify before ordering?
Always verify the exact part number (6SL3224-0BE41-1UA0 for unfiltered), confirm your motor power and overload requirements (132 kW LO / 110 kW HO), ensure your Control Unit firmware is compatible if migrating to the successor, and check whether you should use the successor PM240-2 for improved availability.
