Introduction to the Siemens 6FX3002-5CL12-1CA0 Motor Cable
When a production line halts due to a failed motor cable, every minute of downtime translates into lost revenue. The 6FX3002-5CL12-1CA0 from Siemens offers a robust solution for demanding automation environments. This 20-meter power cable delivers reliable performance in both fixed and flexible installations, reducing the risk of unexpected failures.
Engineered with four cores of 2.5 mm² cross-section, this cable supports a rated voltage of 600 V/1000 V (U0/U) in accordance with EN 50395. Its test voltage of 4000 V confirms the insulation quality, ensuring safe operation under industrial conditions.
Key Features and Technical Specifications
The 6FX3002-5CL12-1CA0 stands out with several parameters that matter for real-world applications:
- Conductor configuration: 4 x 2.5 mm² – suitable for three-phase motor power plus ground.
- Rated voltage: 600 V/1000 V – compliant with EN 50395 for industrial power circuits.
- Test voltage: 4000 V (rms) – verifies high insulation strength.
- Smallest bending radius (fixed): 6 x diameter – allows compact routing in cabinets.
- Smallest bending radius (flexible): 155 mm – supports dynamic cable tracks.
- Maximum number of bends: 1,000,000 – long service life in flexing applications.
- Tensile stress (fixed): 50 N/mm² – robust for stationary pulls.
- Tensile stress (flexible): 20 N/mm² – suitable for moving applications.
- Torsional stress: 30°/m – withstands twisting in robotic axes.
- Connection type: Straight connector with fixed cable outlet direction – simplifies installation.
- Length: 20.0 m – ready for immediate use.
This cable is engineered to handle high mechanical stress, making it a dependable choice for automation cells and conveyor systems.
Applications and Use Cases
The 6FX3002-5CL12-1CA0Its flexible installation rating (155 mm bending radius) allows routing in energy chains where constant motion occurs. For fixed installations, the cable can be bent to 6 times its diameter, enabling neat routing inside control panels. The high tensile stress rating (50 N/mm² fixed) supports vertical runs without additional support. In flexible applications, the 20 N/mm² rating ensures durability in cable carriers. The torsional stress capability (30°/m) makes it suitable for axes that rotate, such as in pick-and-place robots.
Installation and Setup Guide
When installing the 6FX3002-5CL12-1CA0, follow these guidelines to maximize performance:
- For fixed installation, maintain a bending radius of at least 6 times the cable diameter.
- For flexible installation, use a radius of at least 155 mm to prevent stress on conductors.
- Secure the cable to avoid exceeding the maximum tensile stress of 50 N/mm² (fixed) or 20 N/mm² (flexible).
- When routing in moving applications, limit torsional stress to 30°/m to prevent damage.
- Use the straight connector with fixed cable outlet direction to align with the motor terminal box.
Always refer to the official Siemens installation manual for detailed wiring instructions.
Maintenance and Reliability
To ensure long service life, inspect the cable periodically for cuts, abrasions, or kinks. In flexible installations, check the bending radius and cable carrier alignment to avoid exceeding the 155 mm limit. Verify that the cable is not subjected to tensile forces beyond the rated values. The 1,000,000 bend cycle rating indicates high durability, but regular inspection helps prevent unexpected failures. Keep the cable away from sharp edges and excessive heat sources.
Compatibility and Integration
The 6FX3002-5CL12-1CA0 is a power cable designed for Siemens drive systems, including SINAMICS and SIMOTION. It connects the drive output to the motor, carrying three-phase power and ground. The 4x2.5 mm² cross-section matches typical motor power requirements for mid-range drives. Ensure that the cable length (20 m) is suitable for your machine layout. For integration, verify that the connector type matches your motor and drive terminals.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If the motor does not run, check the cable connections for loose terminals. If the cable is damaged, inspect the bending radius – a radius smaller than 155 mm in flexible runs can cause conductor breakage. If the cable overheats, verify that the rated voltage (600/1000V) is not exceeded. For torsional stress issues, ensure the cable is not twisted more than 30°/m during operation. If problems persist, consult the Siemens technical support or contact AutoDCSTech for assistance.
