Product details

The 355 A input / 369 A output rating sets the hard ceiling for continuous current. The filter can handle 1.5× nominal current for 60 seconds — enough for motor acceleration transients but not a sustained overload. For drives above 250 kW, the evidence shows multiple filters are required in parallel: three filters per drive for the 560 kW ATV61H/Q, two for the 400 hp ATV71H, and one for the 200–220 kW range. Plan the panel space and busbar connections accordingly. Operating temperature range is 5–45 °C without derating; above that, derate 3 % per °C up to 60 °C. At altitudes above 1000 m, derate 5 % per additional 1000 m. The IP20 rating suits enclosed panel mounting; IP55 is achievable with the optional enclosure mount. Vibration resistance follows IEC 60068-2-6 at 0.7 gn from 13.2 to 150 Hz.

For BOM planning, the active lifecycle means no imminent end-of-life risk, but the large current rating and multi-filter configurations for high-power drives make lead-time verification prudent before committing to a production schedule.

Frequently asked questions

What is the power factor correction range?

Cos φ reaches 1 at 150 % of line current, 0.99 at 100 % of line current, and 0.85 at 75 % of line current, covering the typical operating band of a variable-speed drive.

What compliance standards does VW3A46174 meet?

The filter complies with IEC 61000-2-4, IEC 61000-3-4, G5/4 engineering recommendation, IEC 61000-3-12, IEC 61000-2-2, and IEC 61000-3-2. Insulation is Class F.
