The Schneider Electric VW3AE0172 is a circuit breaker designed as a protection accessory for Altivar floor-standing enclosures with separate air flows or compact versions. It belongs to the Altivar 61 Plus, Altivar 61 Plus-LH, Altivar 71 Plus, and Altivar 71 Plus-LH drive families.
Deployment context
This circuit breaker mounts inside an Altivar floor-standing enclosure, serving as a branch-circuit protection device for the drive installation. It integrates into the enclosure's separate air-flow path or compact layout, so panel builders should verify the physical fit against the enclosure variant before committing the BOM line.
