Overview
The VW3A46130 is a Schneider Altivar passive filter rated 105 A at 400 V three-phase, 50 Hz, designed to reduce current harmonics on Altivar 71, 61, Process ATV600, and Process ATV900 drives. It delivers a THDI of 10 % for 55 kW/75 hp motor loads on ATV61H, ATV71H, and ATV71W drives, and 5 % for ATV61W at the same power, with a power factor of 1 and 98 % efficiency.
Lifecycle and sourcing
Schneider discontinued the VW3A46130 on 2024-07-22; it is no longer in active production and must be sourced through surplus or broker channels. For new builds or replacements requiring a current-model filter, the VW3A46131 is a functional peer rated 144 A with a THDI of 5 % for 75 kW/100 hp drives, but verify terminal sizing and panel fit before substitution.
How it compares
Compared to the VW3A46131, the VW3A46130 is rated for a lower switching current (101 A vs 144 A) and targets 55 kW/75 hp drives rather than 75 kW/100 hp, with a higher THDI (10 % vs 5 %) on the same drive families.
