6AR1306-0LE00-0AA0 Line Filter – Installation & Maintenance Guide
Product Introduction
Siemens designs the 6AR1306-0LE00-0AA0 for SINAMICS G130 and G150 chassis drives. This line filter suppresses high-frequency noise from the power grid. Specifically, it reduces conducted emissions back to the line supply. The filter supports three-phase AC input systems. Moreover, the 6AR1306-0LE00-0AA0 uses a compact metal enclosure. This housing provides excellent shielding performance. You mount it directly between the mains contactor and the drive input. Therefore, electromagnetic compatibility improves significantly.
Core Value
The 6AR1306-0LE00-0AA0 helps your system pass EMC radiated and conducted emission tests. Firstly, it attenuates differential and common-mode noise. Secondly, the filter handles 130 A continuous current rating. Thirdly, it operates at 500 V AC to 690 V AC line voltages. Furthermore, leakage current stays within safe limits for IT and TN networks. Besides, the 6AR1306-0LE00-0AA0 reduces bearing currents inside motors. Consequently, motor bearing life increases. Specifically, you gain reliable drive performance without external EMC chokes.
Technical Insights
Insertion loss for the 6AR1306-0LE00-0AA0 follows CISPR 11 Class A limits. The filter provides typical attenuation of 50 dB at 150 kHz. Meanwhile, power dissipation reaches 85 W at full load. Operating temperature ranges from -25°C to +85°C. Storage temperature extends from -40°C to +85°C. Additionally, the 6AR1306-0LE00-0AA0 uses UL-listed components. It meets RoHS compliance for environmental safety. Use this filter in variable frequency drives, servo systems, and rectifier units. Specifically, it works with regenerative power supplies as well.
Installation & Maintenance
Start by disconnecting all incoming power. Mount the 6AR1306-0LE00-0AA0 vertically on a grounded metal plate. Keep input and output wiring physically separated. Otherwise, noise couples directly across the filter. Use shielded cables for motor leads. Ground the filter enclosure using the provided M6 stud. Tighten power terminals to 20 N·m torque. Then connect line side to filter input. Connect filter output to drive input. After installation, verify proper grounding. Check for loose connections quarterly. Besides, replace the 6AR1306-0LE00-0AA0 if you see visible damage or overheating. Keep ventilation clear around the heatsink fins.
Buyer's Guide FAQ
1. Do I need the 6AR1306-0LE00-0AA0 for every SINAMICS drive?
Yes. Use this filter when you require EMC compliance. It is mandatory for CE marking in industrial environments.
2. Can the 6AR1306-0LE00-0AA0 work with 400 V systems?
Absolutely. The filter accepts 400 V, 480 V, and 690 V AC systems. Just verify voltage rating matches your drive.
3. What happens if I wire input and output close together?
You reduce filter effectiveness dramatically. Maintain at least 200 mm separation. Otherwise, high-frequency noise bypasses the filter directly.
4. How do I know my 6AR1306-0LE00-0AA0 has failed?
Check for burning smell, swollen casing, or open circuit. The filter also loses attenuation over time. Measure insertion loss with a network analyzer.
5. Can I replace the 6AR1306-0LE00-0AA0 with a generic filter?
No. Generic filters lack the specific attenuation curve for SINAMICS drives. Use only Siemens-approved replacements for guaranteed performance.
