The Schneider VW3A46113 is a passive harmonic filter sized for Altivar drives in the 90–110 kW range. It knocks line-current THDI down to 10 % at full load, which keeps the installation inside IEC 61000-3-12 and G5/4 limits — the kind of compliance a grid operator or site spec will flag before energising a multi-drive line. Rated 180 A input, 187 A output on a 400 V three-phase supply at 50 Hz. The 1.5× nominal overload for 60 s handles the inrush a motor pulls during acceleration without the filter saturating.
THDI 10 % at rated load is the headline number — it tells the site engineer the filter will clean up the drive's current harmonics to a level that passes most utility-imposed distortion limits. The 98 % efficiency means 743 W of thermal loss to vent; that heat lands inside the enclosure, so the panel cooling budget needs to account for it. Cos phi varies with load: unity at 150 % line current, 0.99 at full load, dropping to 0.85 at 75 % load. That curve is normal for a passive filter — the power-factor correction is strongest when the drive is working hardest. Operating temperature runs 5–45 °C without derating; above that, derate 3 % per °C up to 60 °C. Altitude derating kicks in above 1000 m at 5 % per 1000 m. If the filter is going into a plant in Bogotá or a hot mezzanine, those curves decide whether the 187 A rating holds.
Deployment and mounting
IP20 base, IP55 when mounted in an enclosure — so it lives inside a panel, not out in the weather. The terminals split into two groups: A/B for the control wiring (2.5 mm²) and X1-1 through X2-3 for the power conductors (2.5–90 mm²). That range covers the cable sizes for a 90–110 kW drive feed. One filter per drive, matched to the specific Altivar model and power rating. The compatibility list covers ATV61H, ATV71H, ATV61Q, ATV71Q at 110 kW/150 hp, and ATV630, ATV650, ATV930, ATV950 at 90 kW/125 hp.
