Siemens motors that can be operated
You can connect SIMOGEAR 2KJ3 or 2KJ8 geared motors or other Siemens standard
asynchronous or reluctance motors to the SINAMICS G115D wall-mounted converters.
For further information on the possible SIMOGEAR geared motors in combination with the
SINAMICS G115D converter, refer to the following:
• The relevant chapter in this manual
• The relevant motor catalog
• Drive Technology Configurator (DT Configurator)
You can find information on further motors on the Internet:

Third-party motors that can be operated
You can operate standard asynchronous motors from other manufacturers with the
converter.
NOTICE
Insulation failure due to unsuitable third-party motor
A higher load occurs on the motor insulation in converter mode than with line operation.
Damage to the motor winding may occur as a result.
• Please observe the notes in the System Manual "Requirements for third-party motors".
Further information is provided on the Internet:

Multi-motor operation
Multi-motor operation involves simultaneously operating several motors from one converter.
For standard asynchronous motors, multi-motor operation is generally permissible. Additional
preconditions and restrictions relating to multi-motor operation are available on the Internet:
