The VW3AE0180 is a 110 V motor for circuit-breaker, designed as a protection accessory for Altivar floor-standing enclosures with separate air flows or compact versions. It belongs to the Altivar 71 Plus, Altivar 61 Plus, Altivar 61 Plus-LH, and Altivar 71 Plus-LH drive families.
The 110 V rated supply voltage means the motor for the circuit-breaker operates on a standard control-voltage tap common in industrial panels — not line voltage. It is sized for the mechanical switching mechanism inside the Altivar floor-standing enclosure, not for continuous motor duty. The accessory category (protection accessories) confirms its role is to drive the breaker open or closed, not to power a load.
Deployment Context
This motor mounts inside an Altivar floor-standing enclosure with separate air flows or the compact version — the same cabinets used for Altivar 71 Plus and 61 Plus drives. It is a panel-integrated component, not a standalone device, so replacement requires access to the drive cabinet's internal wiring and breaker mechanism.
