Product details

The Schneider Altivar VW3A68507 is a three-phase line choke rated 540 A continuous, 0.038 mH inductance, designed for mains-side harmonic reduction on Altivar drives. It handles 1.65× nominal current for 60 seconds — enough to ride through a motor start or short overload without saturating.

Built to VDE 0160 level 1, IEC 60076 (with HD398), and EN 50178. Pollution degree 2 per EN 50178, clearance 5.5 mm and creepage 11.5 mm per IEC 60664. Vibration tested to 1 gn (13–200 Hz) and shock to 15 gn for 11 ms per IEC 60068-2-27. Environmental class 3B1/3C2/3S1 per IEC 721-3-3 — covers indoor, moderate humidity and chemical exposure.
