The VW3AE0124 is a 230 V motor for circuit-breaker, designed as a protection accessory for Altivar 61 Plus and Altivar 71 Plus floor-standing enclosures with separate air flows or the compact version. This is the specific motor that drives the circuit-breaker mechanism inside those drive cabinets — not a general-purpose motor, but a dedicated component for the enclosure's built-in disconnect.
This motor mounts inside the Altivar floor-standing enclosure, paired with the circuit-breaker. It operates on a 230 V supply, so verify the control voltage in your cabinet matches before specifying. The accessory category is Protection accessories — it is part of the enclosure's safety disconnect, not a drive option card or a fan motor.
