1.14.2.5 Partial load efficiency of S120 Motor Modules
The charts below show the partial-load efficiency of air-cooled SINAMICS S120 Motor Modules for constant-torque
drives. The calculations are based on a typical efficiency at full load of 98.5 %. The efficiency is represented in two
different ways. In one chart, the efficiency is shown as a function of the output frequency with the output current as a
parameter, and in the second chart, as a function of the output current with the output frequency as a parameter.
