The Schneider Electric VW3A7262 is a line filter module (LFM) designed as a component of the Active Front End (AFE) system. It mates specifically with one or two active infeed converters (AICs) in the VW3A7253 through VW3A7287 range, providing control electronics for the AIC and inverter plus a 24 V DC fan circuit that also powers up to four inverters of the same power rating on the 380...480 V AC bus. Rated line current is 495 A at 50 °C, with a power rating of 340 kW. The module handles 3-phase 380...480 V AC (±10 %) at 50/60 Hz network frequency. Thermal losses are 560 W, dissipated via natural convection — no forced-air fan on the filter itself, so panel airflow must be accounted for in the enclosure design.
Physical integration and environmental limits
The VW3A7262 is a built-in unit (IP00) — no enclosure, no touch-safe shrouding. Mounting dimensions: 1100 mm high × 290 mm wide × 379 mm deep. The 1100 mm height typically requires a tall cabinet; plan for bottom-entry cable management given the bar terminals at M10 accepting up to 2 × 185 mm² per phase on both line and load sides. Operating ambient temperature range is -10 to +45 °C, extendable to +60 °C with a 2 % per °C current derating. Altitude derating applies above 1000 m: 1 % per 100 m up to 3000 m. Pollution degree 2 per EN/IEC 61800-5-1, environmental class 3K3/3C2/3S2 per EN/IEC 60721-3-3. Shock resistance is 7 gn for 11 ms; vibration resistance is 1.5 mm at 3-10 Hz and 0.6 gn at 10-200 Hz per IEC 60068-2-6.
The module carries conformity to EN/IEC 61800-5-1 for pollution degree 2, and environmental classification per EN/IEC 60721-3-3. The manufacturer's standard declaration of conformity covers the applicable EMC and low-voltage directives for the AFE system. For specific RoHS/REACH compliance documentation or a detailed certificate, request the manufacturer's declaration of conformity with your RFQ — this is typically provided at the time of quotation for obsolete parts sourced through independent channels.
