It is rated for a 190 A output current and a 480 V ±10% supply at 60 Hz, making it a drop-in harmonic mitigation solution for ATV61H, ATV71H, ATV61Q, ATV71Q, ATV630, and ATV930 drives at the 110 kW / 150 hp motor rating. The filter achieves a total harmonic current distortion (THDI) of 10% across all listed drive platforms, which means it brings the drive's input current waveform within the limits of IEC 61000-3-4, IEC 61000-3-12, and G5/4 engineering recommendation — the key standards for grid connection in Europe and other regions with harmonic regulation. The 190 A output rating (183 A input) sets the maximum continuous current the filter can handle. For a 110 kW / 150 hp motor on a 480 V system, full-load current typically sits around 140–160 A, so this filter has headroom for the drive's nominal draw plus the 1.5× overload for 60 seconds that the filter itself can sustain. Efficiency is listed at 98%, meaning only 2% of the power passing through is lost as heat — that 743 W thermal loss figure is what your enclosure ventilation must reject. At full load, plan for nearly 750 W of heat dissipation inside the panel. The power factor profile (cos φ) varies with load: unity at 150% line current, 0.99 at 100%, and 0.85 at 75%. This is typical for a passive filter — the displacement power factor stays near unity at rated load but drops off at lighter loads, which matters if your drive spends most of its time below 75% current. The filter carries IP20 protection as standard, with IP55 available when enclosure-mounted. Operating temperature range is 5–45 °C without derating; above 45 °C up to 60 °C, derate current by 3% per °C. At 50 °C ambient, for example, the continuous current drops to about 161 A. Altitude derating starts above 1000 m at 5% per 1000 m. Terminal connections accept up to 90 mm² on the main power terminals (X1-1 through X2-3) and 2.5 mm² on the control terminals (A, B). Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6 is 2 mm peak-to-peak at 5–13.2 Hz and 0.7 gn at 13.2–150 Hz — standard for industrial panel mounting.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric VW3A46152 Passive Filter, 190 A, 480 V, 6","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric VW3A46152 passive filter for ATV drives. 190 A output, 480 V, 60 Hz, THDI 10%, 98% efficiency.
