The SINAMICS G220 Clean Power Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is a next-generation drive solution designed for high-efficiency motor control in mission-critical environments such as modern data centers. Built with an advanced two-quadrant Active Front End (AFE) topology, the G220 Clean Power enables low harmonic distortion, and near-unity power factor in a compact footprint delivering clean, stable power in increasingly dynamic and power-dense infrastructures.
As an OCP-Inspired product, the G220 Clean Power aligns with the Open Compute Project’s focus on energy efficiency, sustainability, and scalable infrastructure, making it ideal for applications such as cooling systems (CDUs, chillers, CRAH/CRAC units, pumps, and fans), where energy usage and power quality directly impact uptime and total cost of ownership.
