Preface to the SINAMICS S120 Manual "Booksize C/D-Type Power Units"
Based on the booksize design, SINAMICS S120 booksize C/D-type power units have been
developed for full compatibility with the booksize series
● The "C-type" power unit includes Single Motor Modules from 18 A to 30 A and the Double
Motor Module 2 x 18 A. They can be operated with an overload factor of up to 2
(continuous motion).
● The "D-type" power unit includes Single Motor Modules from 3 A to 30 A and Double
Motor Modules from 2 x 3 to 2 x 18 A. They can be operated with an overload factor of up
to 3 (discontinuous motion).
● The C/D-type Motor Modules can be seamlessly integrated into a SINAMICS S120
booksize drive line-up irrespective of the installed firmware.
Only components from the booksize C/D-type series plus the relevant connection
components are described in this manual.
The documentation relating to conventional power units and accessories, as well as detailed
information about connection systems, protective measures, etc. can be found in the
SINAMICS S120 Manual "Booksize Power Units" (GH2)
