How it compares
The VW3AE0146 and VW3AE0169 are both circuit breakers for the same enclosure family, but their range-of-product listings differ: VW3AE0146 lists Altivar 61 Plus-LH first, while VW3AE0169 lists Altivar 71 Plus first. For a panel originally specified with VW3AE0169, the VW3AE0146 is functionally interchangeable — both fit the same floor-standing enclosure with separate air flows or compact version.
