Product details

The VW3AE0159 is a 230 V motor for circuit-breaker, part of the Schneider Electric Altivar accessory range for floor-standing enclosures with separate air flows or compact versions. It fits Altivar 71 Plus, 71 Plus-LH, 61 Plus, and 61 Plus-LH drives.

Schneider Electric lists the VW3AE0159 as obsolete.

This motor drives the circuit-breaker mechanism inside an Altivar floor-standing enclosure — it's the mechanical actuator that opens or closes the breaker under control signals. The 230 V rating means it's wired to a 230 V AC control circuit, typical for European panel builds. If you're retrofitting an existing Altivar 61 or 71 Plus cabinet, this is the OEM part that matches the mounting bracket and linkage.
