An optimum solution every timeRegardless of the task, Siemens has the optimum solution. We have the widest converter technologies portfolio on the market – everything from cycloconverters and current-source DC links to voltage-source 3-level DC link, modular multi-level and cell-based converters. Together with our extensive expertise, we can support you in finding an opti-mum solution for all your application needs.

Serving low speed and high torque applicationsWidely used for rugged applications, the SINAMICS SL150 cycloconverter is ideally suited for powering mine winders, conveyors, grinding mills, and excavators. In addition to its broad use in the mining industry, it can also be found in other industries for applications such as rolling mills. No drive manufactured today is perfect for every application, so it is important to identify the drive that best meets your

specification, performance and reliability requirements. When it comes to finding the right drive for key mining applications where low speed and high torque require-ments exist, especially at high altitudes, the SL150 provides the best overall reliability and performance possible.

Industry longevityCompetitors will always challenge the age of the drives technology. However, after 3-plus decades of innovation, no competitor can offer the same proven capacity for reliability that this drive continues to demonstrate in mining applica-tions all over the world. Siemens has continually innovated its cycloconverter controllers – from the early analog SIMADYN C to the first digital SIMADYN D product family and the most recent groundbreaking SINAMICS controllers. Incorporating widely used standard SINAMICS components, the cycloconverter drive requires no special boards.

With its direct power conversion from three line phases to one motor phase, the simple principle of the Siemens cycloconverter forms the basis for reliability, ruggedness, service friendliness and lifecycle support – the formula for maximum availability.

Top marks for reliability and ruggednessSINAMICS SL150 technology has proven itself in the field under the most exacting conditions. Customers offer the best proof, frequently noting their failure-free reliability and ruggedness.

Reliability• Fewest drive components for any given power rating:• >10 MVA with just 36 thyristors, no DC link components• High MTBF, even without further redundancy measures• Extremely low risk of 2-pole short circuit

Ruggedness• Air-cooled up to 20 MVA, water-cooled up to 40 MVA• Proven operation at very high altitudes• Generates almost no shaft voltage and bearing

currents• Use of standard HV cable due to the typical low

switching speed of thyristors (no screened or armored cables required)

• The stator current is almost sinusoidal• Very dust- and humidity-resistant thanks to internal air

cooling and overall low-voltage level• Optimal for use with both synchronous and induction

motors
