Advantages of Motor Modules in booksize C/D-type format

Based on the booksize design, SINAMICS S120 booksize C/D-type Motor Modules have
been developed for full compatibility with the booksize series. The advantages of this new
product include:
● There is no need to remove the module in order to replace the fan.
50 mm modules and 100 mm modules 30 A and 2 x 18 A
● The amount of space required beneath the Motor Modules has been reduced by using a
new motor plug connector.
● The motor connections on the Double Motor Module are located side by side, making
them much more accessible.
● With the new design of motor connector, the brake cables and the PE connection are
integrated directly in the connector.
100 mm modules 45 A and 60 A
● The previous width has been reduced from 150 mm down to 100 mm.
● The overload factor is 2.
● The motor connection block is now integrated in the module. The amount of space
required is therefore reduced.
● The protective conductor connection for the motor is integrated in the motor connection
block.
