It draws 37 A on the output side and 36 A on the input, at 480 V +/- 10 %, 60 Hz. One filter per drive is required — no sharing across multiple units. The filter achieves 98 % efficiency and dissipates 242 W as heat — factor that into enclosure ventilation if mounting inside a sealed panel. It complies with IEC 61000-2-2, IEC 61000-3-12, G5/4, IEC 61000-3-2, IEC 61000-2-4, and IEC 61000-3-4 for harmonic emission limits. The THDI performance varies by drive model: 10 % for ATV61W, ATV630, ATV650, ATV930, and ATV950; 16 % for ATV61H, ATV71H, and ATV71W. Rated IP20 as a standalone unit; IP55 when mounted inside an enclosure. The power factor correction curve is non-linear: cos φ of 1 at 150 % line current, 0.99 at 100 %, and 0.85 at 75 %. Operating temperature range is 5 to 45 °C without derating; above that, derate 3 % per °C up to 60 °C. Above 1000 m altitude, derate 5 % per 1000 m. Terminals accept 1.5 to 25 mm² on the main connections and 2.5 mm² on the control terminals.","metaTitle":"Schneider VW3A46145 Passive Filter, 37A, 480V, Obsolete","metaDescription":"Schneider VW3A46145 passive filter for Altivar drives. 37 A output, 480 V, 60 Hz.
