Product details

The Schneider Altivar VW3A7813 is a braking resistor rated for 112 kW average power at 50 °C with a resistance of 2.1 Ohm. It is part of the Altivar drive family and connects via M10 bar wire terminals.

This part is officially obsolete per the manufacturer. No direct successor order code is listed in the lifecycle record.

The 2.1 Ohm resistance and 112 kW average power rating at 50 °C define the braking torque capacity for an Altivar drive. The resistor dissipates regenerative energy from decelerating loads — sized for the duty cycle, not just peak power. Physical footprint is 1140 mm wide × 1150 mm high × 620 mm deep — a large cabinet-mount unit that needs structural support and clearance for heat dissipation.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy VW3A7813 and how do I get a price?

VW3A7813 is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is the closest alternative to VW3A7813?

No official successor order code is listed in the lifecycle record. For a parametric match, look for an Altivar braking resistor with 2.1 Ohm resistance and 112 kW power rating at 50 °C — but verify mounting and terminal compatibility against the original footprint.

What are the physical dimensions of VW3A7813?

The VW3A7813 measures 1140 mm wide × 1150 mm high × 620 mm deep.
