The Schneider Electric VW3A4662 is a passive filter designed to mitigate harmonic distortion in variable speed drive systems. This filter is specifically engineered for compatibility with Schneider Electric's Altivar 61 and Altivar 71 variable speed drive ranges. Its function is to reduce the harmonic content of the current drawn from the mains supply, thereby improving power quality and protecting sensitive equipment.

Technical details

• Product Type: Passive Harmonic Filter
• Manufacturer Series Compatibility: Altivar 61, Altivar 71
• Functionality: Reduces harmonic distortion in drive input current
• Construction: Passive components (inductors and capacitors)
• Voltage Rating: Verify against manufacturer datasheet for specific voltage class (e.g., 208V, 230V, 400V, 480V, 600V)
• Current Rating: Verify against manufacturer datasheet for specific current capacity
• Frequency Rating: Typically 50/60 Hz
• Environmental Rating: Standard industrial enclosure (verify against datasheet for IP rating and operating temperature range)

Applications & compatibility

This passive filter is essential for applications requiring improved power quality and compliance with harmonic distortion standards. It is commonly deployed in industrial environments such as manufacturing plants, water treatment facilities, and material handling systems utilizing Altivar 61 or Altivar 71 drives. Its use is particularly beneficial in areas with high concentrations of variable speed drives or where grid sensitivity is a concern.
