The Schneider Electric VW3A46110 is a passive filter sized for a single Altivar variable-speed drive in the 45 kW / 60 hp range — one filter per drive, not shared across a DC bus. It bolts between the line supply and the drive input, knocking down current harmonics to meet IEC 61000-3-4, IEC 61000-3-12, and G5/4 engineering recommendation levels. The rated input current is 86 A, output 90 A, on a 400 V ±10 % three-phase network at 50 Hz ±2 %. Efficiency sits at 98 %, so the 428 W thermal loss is what the enclosure has to shed.
Harmonic performance across drive models
The THDI number depends on which drive it pairs with. On the ATV61W and ATV650, ATV630, ATV950, and ATV930 it holds THDI to 10 %. On the ATV61H, ATV71H, and ATV71W it lands at 16 %. Either way the filter brings the installation into compliance with the harmonic standards listed above — no separate line reactor needed for that job. The power factor correction curve is non-linear: cos phi hits 1 at 150 % line current, 0.99 at 100 %, and 0.85 at 75 % load. That means at light load the filter is less effective at correcting displacement power factor, but the harmonic reduction is still active.
The filter carries IP20 as standard and IP55 when mounted inside an enclosure. Operating ambient is 5 °C to 45 °C with no derating; above that, up to 60 °C, derate 3 % per °C. Altitude derating starts at 1000 m — 5 % per additional 1000 m. Storage in original packaging is -25 °C to 55 °C; transport up to 65 °C. Relative humidity 5 % to 85 %, non-condensing. 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. Electrical connections use terminals sized for 10–70 mm² on the power side and 2.5 mm² on the control terminals.
