that fit more applications

• Ultra-compact 

Reduces space requirements by 

fitting into a 20% smaller 

footprint 

When your rig is anchored 20 miles offshore without a 

speck of land in sight, service calls aren’t simple. And when 

your pipeline has to pump 150,000 barrels a day to stay on 

schedule, uptime is everything. Operating conditions will 

never be perfect—but at least your drives can be.

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY fits any application

The SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 water-cooled 

variable frequency drive (VFD) draws on decades of 

experience to deliver the most reliable performance for the 

widest range of applications yet. Once available exclusively 

for the most demanding applications with the largest 

capital expenditures, now the SINAMICS PERFECT 

HARMONY GH180 VFD can be paired with any application 

to provide optimal versatility, efficiency and process 

availability.

Every element of a SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY drive 

is engineered to maximize productivity and protect your 

process in a way that other drives can’t. Its modularity and 

50+ patented technologies allow for a scalable solution 

that achieves 99.99% availability, which means greater 

productivity and a reduced total cost of ownership over the 

drive’s lifecycle. And now it can pack more power into a 

smaller footprint, resulting in a 20% smaller unit while 

reducing the total lifecycle cost.

The reliability behind the 

world’s #1 selling drive.

Advanced cell bypass

In less than a quarter of a second, the SINAMICS PERFECT 

HARMONY GH180 drive can bypass multiple failed cells 

to maintain a balanced output voltage. With one cell in 

bypass, the drive still produces sufficient voltage to 

allow the process to continue uninterrupted, and the 

quality of the voltage and the waveform remain 

virtually unchanged. 

Synchronous transfer

Synchronous transfer is used to soft-start multiple motors 

in a series and efficiently transfer them across the line 

without over-stressing the power grid. This closed-transfer 

approach not only increases energy efficiency, but also 

helps protect motors and equipment from excessive torque 

transients. 

Process-tolerant 

Protection strategy (ProToPS™)

With a proven record of 99.99% process uptime, ProToPS™ 

protects your process from faulty sensors or data. Unlike 

typical systems that simply trip the drive and automatically 

shut down the system due to a malfunction, ProToPS™ 

offers a proactive control strategy for applications where 

failure avoidance is critical.

Clean power input

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY drives meet the most 

stringent IEEE 519 requirements for voltage and current 

harmonic distortion. An integrated sinusoidal convertor 

eliminates the need for harmonic filters, power factor 

correction capacitors or extra bus capacity, and it protects 

other online equipment from harmonic disturbances. 

High-quality output 

No drive offers a higher-quality waveform output than 

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY VFDs. With up to 33 levels 

of non-harmonic output voltage, it accommodates any 

standard motor without requiring additional output or 

dv/dt filters, which can reduce efficiency and reliability. 

In addition, it helps extend motor life by providing the 

lowest peak voltage to the motor windings.

Environmental tolerance 

Only SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY drives are engineered 

to operate reliably in environments with ambient 

temperatures ranging from -40° C to +50° C. No other 

drives can tolerate such a broad range of extreme 

conditions. An optional PDC allows the drives to withstand 

even the harshest outdoor conditions, from tropical 

environments to ocean platforms.

Maximum reliability.

Minimal size.

Bigger isn’t always better

Today’s increasingly demanding applications 

require drives to be squeezed into ever￾smaller sites. Whether you’re mining on a 

mountainside or deepwater drilling, space 

is a constant concern. And with high real 

estate costs, most manufacturers can’t 

afford to waste a single inch of real 

estate—nor a single minute of production 

time.

To support critical applications in out-of￾the-way places, Siemens redesigned its 

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 VFDs 

to be 20% more compact. The new stream￾lined design offers the same proven 

reliability and performance as before, 

but within a smaller footprint that makes 

it even more versatile and cost-efficient. 

High value, low complexity

To shrink the size of its SINAMICS PERFECT 

HARMONY GH180 drives, Siemens simplified 

the system so that it’s composed solely of 

a transformer cabinet, cell cabinet and 

cooling cabinet. There’s less programming 

needed, and fewer components with fewer 

connections means maintenance time is 

minimized, too.

Reliability is improved by reducing the 

number of threaded fittings on water-cooled 

VFDs and replacing long hoses with stainless 

steel pipe. Every aspect of the drive is 

optimized to fit small spaces while 

remaining compatible with—and delivering 

superior reliability to—virtually every 

application.

Maximum flexibility:

Drive type:

• Water-cooled VFD

Cooling options:

• Water-to-air heat exchanger

Smaller size means smaller costs

In addition to saving valuable square 

footage, the new compact SINAMICS PERFECT 

HARMONY GH180 VFDs also help reduce your 

total cost of ownership. The size of the drive 

determines both the size of its enclosure and 

the power required to keep it cool. With a 

smaller enclosure, you spend less on cooling 

power.

In many cases, Siemens also provides 

manufacturers with an Electrical Equipment 

House (E-House), a plug-and-play power 

supply solution with a fully integrated VFD. 

Reducing the size of the VFD automatically 

reduces the size of the E-House as well. 

No drive is more trusted

The SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 VFD 

is in its 20th year of innovation. With each 

advancement, it continues to evolve in ways 

that bring increased reliability to critical 

processes. 

From kiln lines and vertical ball mills to mud 

pumps and extruders, the vast majority of 

applications can be paired or retrofit with a 

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 VFD to 

optimize process improvement. It’s the No. 1 

selling drive in the world— with more than 

11,000 drives sold— because it’s the most 

trusted.

Same topology, new possibilities

In an industry where downtime is measured in hundreds of 

thousands of dollars an hour, reliability is essential. That’s 

why, for years, the oil and gas industry has relied on 

SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY medium voltage VFDs. The 

drive’s innovative cell-based topology protects against 

failures that would overwhelm conventional drive systems.

Each 750 v cell includes Advanced Cell Bypass technology 

to help prevent interruptions in the unlikely event of a cell 

fault. And because the low-voltage cells are linked in series, 

the drive can be scaled to fit a wide range of voltage and 

output power needs. 

Now that range has broadened further—up to 30,500 Hp 

and 11 kV output voltage. More critical applications than 

ever before can benefit from the superior reliability, 

availability and energy-efficiency offered by SINAMICS 

PERFECT HARMONY technology.

Reduced arc-fault risk

Every SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 water-cooled 

drive includes the Arc Detection System as a standard 

feature. The distributed inverter section consists of power 

cells equipped with arc-detection sensors and the control to 

communicate with the drive system. This communication is 

supported by advanced protocol software. In the rare event 

of cell arcing, the advanced protocol will initiate the 

shutdown of the inverter within 20 ms. The drive control 

will issue a trip signal to an external breaker. The 

distributed power structure of the SINAMICS PERFECT 

HARMONY topology results in significantly reduced fault 

energy in the inverter section as compared to other 

available technologies.

More power for more applications

The SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 VFD is the 

world’s most trusted drive because when reliability matters 

most, it delivers. Rather than merely meeting the industry’s 

baseline, the SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 drive 

raises the bar with its integral arc-fault protection, 

Advanced Cooling System and streamlined design. 

Streamlined for greater savings

To increase the drive’s power without growing its footprint, 

the entire system was streamlined.

Nothing has changed within the cell topology itself; the 

enhanced power capabilities come from an expanded 

24- cell configuration and an integral water-cooled 

transformer that optimizes system efficiency.

The Advanced Coolant System cools each power cell by 

routing water through heat sinks, and an additional water￾to-air heat exchanger on top of the cabinet helps further 

regulate temperature. This allows for greater power output 

without greater HVAC requirements. Coolant levels can 

even be monitored remotely, and should the primary pump 

fail, a redundant pump ensures continuous circulation.

The result is a compact, cool-running drive with a cabinet 

that tops out at 60” (and spans only 48” at its smallest). 

Plus, not only does the drive’s new design shrink its size 

by 20%; it also reduces the lifecycle cost. There are fewer 

components and connections to maintain, which means 

there are fewer spare parts required as well.

And now its newly increased power capabilities and smaller 

size make it available to an even greater number of critical 

applications—further enhancing reliability and energy 

efficiency throughout the oil and gas industry.

Delivering reliability to the 

nuclear industry

Nuclear plants have traditionally used motor-generator (MG) 

sets to drive their reactor circulating pumps, a method of 

control that is difficult and imprecise. 

In 2000, the nuclear power industry turned to Siemens for a 

more reliable solution, and six SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY 

VFDs were installed at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant.

The drives were able to predictably and accurately control the 

nuclear plant’s circulating pump speed to within 1 rpm of the 

desired speed command, allowing the plant to operate closer 

to the reactor’s allowed thermal power limit and generate 

additional electricity.

At full load and full speed, Siemens VFDs achieve 97% 

efficiency. By improving energy efficiency and enabling 

power plants to generate additional electricity, VFDs deliver 

a significant return on investment. 

Even more importantly, they feature Advanced Cell Bypass, 

which ensures continuous operation even in the event of a 

power cell failure. This level of reliability is essential for the 

nuclear power industry.

Any variable frequency drive will 

improve control over your process, 

but only SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY 

GH180 drives will optimize the 

control you have. With 50+ patented 

technologies proven to increase 

reliability and reduce energy 

consumption, the SINAMICS PERFECT 

HARMONY GH180 water-cooled VFD 

is designed to fit more applications, 

more spaces and more budgets.
