The VW3A9706 is an IP21 wall-mount housing kit for Altivar variable speed drives, size 5. It converts an open-drive chassis into a protected enclosure suitable for dry indoor locations where splash or drip exposure is minimal — IP21 keeps out solid objects larger than 12.5 mm and vertical water drips. The kit includes all mechanical parts plus a pre-cut plate for fixing cable glands, so you don't have to cut your own entry holes or source gland plates separately.
Kit contents and installation
The kit ships with fixing accessories, an instruction sheet, and all the mechanical parts including a pre-cut plate for fixing the cable glands. That pre-cut plate saves panel time — no drilling or punching for gland entries; just mount the plate, fit the glands, and wire through. The instruction sheet covers the mounting sequence and torque values.
