Siemens has announced a new version of its Sinamics S120 Cabinet Module (CM) drive packages, compliant with North American standards and offered with optional UL/cUL listing. This product enables easy configuration of complex common DC bus lineups for multi-motor coordinated drive systems, as well as high horsepower (hp) stand-alone drives for a wide variety of industrial applications.
The use of a common DC bus configuration with these new drive packages allows energy exchange between motors that are simply powering and others regenerating power back to the AC system, which can save up to 80% of the energy consumed when using standard installations.
