Product details

The VW3AE0212 is a line contactor from Schneider Electric's Altivar 61 Plus and Altivar 71 Plus accessory range (cites:). It's a 230 V AC rated supply component, classified as a protection accessory for floor-standing enclosures with separate air flows or the compact version (cites:,). This is the part that switches mains power to the drive cabinet — not a motor contactor, but the line-side isolation for the VFD installation.

Schneider lists the VW3AE0212 as obsolete.

What the 230 V AC rating means for fit

The 230 V AC rated supply voltage means the contactor coil is designed for a single-phase 230 V control circuit. Verify the control voltage on your Altivar 61 Plus or 71 Plus enclosure before specifying.
