Ambient operating range is 0...50 °C, storage -25...70 °C. Dimensions are 540 mm deep, 790 mm wide, 440 mm tall — a substantial cabinet-mount unit, not a small frame resistor. Electrical connection is via M10 bar wire for drive, so plan for lugged cable terminations at the drive end.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get current pricing and availability for VW3A7713?
Submit an RFQ. We source this obsolete braking resistor through independent channels and confirm price and availability at quote time — no standing stock to check online.
What is the closest alternative to VW3A7713 in the Altivar family?
There is no official direct-replacement order code from Schneider. For a new design, consult the current Altivar braking resistor catalog for a parametric match based on ohmic value (1.8 Ohm) and power rating (15.3 kW at 50 °C). For an existing BOM, the only path is the surplus channel for this exact part.
What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for VW3A7713?
The evidence does not list specific compliance documents (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC) for this order code. For an obsolete part, original documentation may be limited; request what you need at RFQ time and we will check available records.
