The Schneider Altivar VW3A4411 is an EMC radio interference input filter sized for three-phase drives in the 200-240 V and 380-500 V range. It carries a dual current rating of 336 A and 546 A — the lower figure applies at the higher voltage band, the higher at the lower band, so match the rating to your supply voltage, not just the drive nameplate. Thermal losses run 125 W; that heat has to leave the enclosure, so factor it into your cabinet cooling budget.
The filter is compliant with IEC 61800-3, the adjustable-speed drive EMC standard. At the C2 category it supports up to 300 m of shielded motor cable; at the tighter C1 category that drops to 50 m. If your installation requires C1 emissions limits, keep the motor cable run under 50 m or add an output filter. Earth leakage current is specified at 500 mA at 400 V 50 Hz — that's the total leakage to ground through the filter's Y-capacitors, which matters for RCD coordination on the supply side. The filter is rated IP00 as shipped — open frame, no enclosure. IP30 is achievable with the VW3A9601 or VW3A9602 kit, which adds finger-safe covers. For washdown or dusty environments you'll need to mount it inside a suitable cabinet. Electrical connection is via M10 busbars, so plan for lug-type cable terminations, not spring-cage or screw-clamp terminals. Above 1000 m altitude derate current 1 % per 100 m up to 3000 m. Vibration resistance is 1 gn at 13-150 Hz and 1.5 mm peak-to-peak at 3-13 Hz per IEC 60068-2-6; shock resistance is 15 gn for 11 ms per IEC 60068-2-27. These are typical for industrial cabinet mounting — no special isolation needed for normal floor-mounted panels.
