The VW3A5219 is a sinus output filter rated for 115 A continuous, designed to clean up the PWM waveform from an Altivar Process variable speed drive before it reaches the motor. It's the part that sits between the drive output terminals and the motor cable — no DIN rail mount at IP00, so it lands on a backplate or inside a panel enclosure, wired through its own terminal block. Rated for 690 V AC maximum permissible voltage and a 2 kHz switching frequency, with a maximum output frequency of 70 Hz.
The 115 A nominal current is the continuous rating — the filter can handle 1.5× that for 60 seconds, which covers the inrush during motor acceleration without oversizing. Thermal losses hit 850 W at 115 °C, so the enclosure needs ventilation or forced airflow; don't box it in tight with other heat sources. Pollution degree 2 per EN 50178 means it's rated for normal industrial environments with only non-conductive contamination — occasional condensation is acceptable, but not conductive dust or chemical spray. The -10 to 45 °C operating range is standard for a panel-mounted filter; above 1000 m altitude derate 1% per 100 m up to 3000 m. Vibration resistance of 1 gn at 13–200 Hz and shock resistance of 15 gn for 11 ms per IEC 60068-2-27 means it holds up on a machine frame or near a vibrating conveyor — no need for a separate isolation mount in most industrial settings. The 0–95% relative humidity tolerance (non-condensing) covers washdown-adjacent areas, but the IP00 enclosure means it's not rated for direct spray — keep it inside a cabinet with at least IP54.
