The VW3AE0207 is a line contactor from the Altivar 61 Plus range, designed as a protection accessory for Altivar floor-standing enclosures with separate air flows or compact versions. It operates on a 230 V AC supply and is classified as a line contactor, meaning it switches the main power to the drive under load or fault conditions, isolating the drive from the line when the contactor coil is de-energized.
Integration note for panel builders
Mounts inside the Altivar floor-standing enclosure — the contactor is pre-configured for the drive's power path, so the wiring is largely plug-and-play within that cabinet. The 230 V AC coil supply is standard for European industrial panels; verify that the control transformer or auxiliary supply matches before energizing. No special derating for DIN-rail fill factor here — it's cabinet-integrated, not rail-mounted.
