The Schneider Electric VW3A46106A is a passive filter designed for the ATV610 variable speed drive family. It cleans up the line-side harmonics, pulling the current THD down to 10 % — that's the spec that keeps you out of trouble with utility power-quality requirements and stops nuisance tripping of upstream breakers. Rated for a 19 kW / 25 hp motor on a 380-480 V three-phase supply, it handles 27.3 A on the input side and 42 A on the output. One filter per drive — no sharing.
Efficiency and thermal reality
Efficiency is 98 %, with 244 W of thermal losses. Ambient air temperature for operation is -25 to 45 °C without current derating.
Carries UL 61800-5-1 and IEC 61800-5-1 — the adjustable-speed drive safety standards. That covers the electrical safety and thermal protection for the drive system. IP20 rated, so it's for enclosure mounting only, not washdown areas. This is a current catalog item.
Wiring and integration
Terminals accept 0.5 to 10 mm² for line and load phases, 2.5 mm² for DC choke connections, and 0.5 to 4 mm² for the temperature switch. Supply frequency is 50 Hz.
