The VW3AE0160 is a 110 V motor for circuit-breaker, designed as a protection accessory for Altivar floor-standing enclosures — specifically the Altivar 71 Plus, Altivar 61 Plus-LH, and Altivar 61 Plus ranges. It mounts inside the enclosure to drive the circuit-breaker mechanism, providing motorized opening or closing of the main disconnect.
Schneider Electric lists the VW3AE0160 as obsolete. No official successor order code exists. Sourcing is through independent distribution against an RFQ.
The 110 V rated supply voltage is the coil voltage for the motor — it must match the control circuit voltage in the panel. The part is specifically intended for Altivar floor-standing enclosures with separate air flows or the compact version; it is not a generic motor for any enclosure. If you are retrofitting an Altivar 71 Plus or 61 Plus cabinet, this is the correct motor for the circuit-breaker accessory slot.
