It handles a rated input current of 73 A and output current of 76 A at 480 V +/- 10 %, 60 Hz. ## Harmonic performance and compliance The filter achieves a total harmonic current distortion (THDI) of 10 % for ATV61H, ATV71H, and ATV71W drives, and 5 % for ATV61W drives — meaning it cleans the line current enough to meet IEC 61000-3-2, IEC 61000-3-4, IEC 61000-3-12, and the UK G5/4 engineering recommendation. That covers most European and UK power-quality requirements without an active filter. Power factor correction is load-dependent: cos phi reaches 1 at 150 % of line current, 0.99 at 100 %, and 0.85 at 75 % — so the filter maintains near-unity power factor across the normal operating range. One filter per drive — no sharing across multiple drives. The unit is IP20 as standard, IP55 when enclosure-mounted, so it can sit inside a panel or be mounted externally in a protected location. Operating temperature range is 5...45 °C without derating, extending to 60 °C with a 3 % per °C derating on current. Above 1000 m altitude, derate current by 5 % per additional 1000 m. Terminal blocks accept up to 50 mm² cable on the main power connections (X1-1...X2-3) and 2.5 mm² on the control terminals (A, B). Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6: 2 mm peak-to-peak at 5...13.2 Hz, 0.7 gn at 13.2...150 Hz.","metaTitle":"VW3A46167 Passive Filter, Altivar, 76A, 480V, 60Hz","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric VW3A46167 passive filter for Altivar ATV61/71 drives. 76A rated current, 480V, 60Hz.
