Siemens SINAMICS G120 Repair

The Siemens SINAMICS G120 is a variable frequency drive used to control AC motor speed and torque in pumps, fans, conveyors, process equipment, and production machinery.

Brand Siemens
Equipment 6SL3210-1KE21-3AF1
Equipment Category SINAMICS G120
Industry Pharma
Fault Reported
  • Drive trips, fails to start, or shows overcurrent / DC-bus / power-stage related faults.
Repair Turnaround Time Typical reference: 3–6 working days

The Challenge

The driven motor could not run reliably, stopping a critical machine function and increasing production downtime.

Diagnosis

  • The input stage, DC bus, pre-charge circuit, IGBT power section, gate drivers, current sensing, cooling system, and control board were inspected.

Our Solution

  • Defective power or control components were replaced as required, cooling and connection issues were corrected, boards were cleaned, and the drive was functionally tested with a motor.

Testing Performed

  • Input inspection; DC-bus test; power-stage test; motor rotation test; current monitoring; fault-reset test; thermal and burn-in test.

Final Result

The reference repair process restores normal functional operation after the unit passes the defined electrical, communication, motion, or load checks applicable to the equipment.

Common Fault Codes & Causes

  • F30001 – Overcurrent: Motor/cable short circuit, ground fault, excessive load, incorrect motor data or power-unit fault.
  • F30002 – DC-link overvoltage: High supply voltage, regenerative energy, short deceleration time or braking issue.
  • F30003 – DC-link undervoltage: Low/failed mains supply, phase loss, input fuse or supply interruption.
  • F30004 – Drive/inverter overtemperature: Cooling fan failure, blocked airflow, high ambient temperature or overload.
  • F30005 – Power unit overload I2t: Excessive continuous load, duty cycle too demanding or undersized drive.
  • F30011 – Line phase failure: Missing input phase, blown fuse or severe supply imbalance.
  • F30015 – Motor cable phase failure: Open motor phase, loose terminal, damaged cable or unstable control.
  • F30021 – Ground fault: Motor winding insulation fault, damaged motor cable or power-stage fault.
  • F30027 – DC-link precharge timeout: Precharge circuit, contactor/resistor, supply or DC-link issue.
  • F30036 – Internal overtemperature: Internal cooling problem, contamination, fan issue or excessive thermal stress.

Preventive Maintenance

  • Maintain clean cooling paths, verify motor load and cabling, inspect fans, protect against voltage disturbances, and keep the cabinet temperature within limits.
