The VW3AE0221 is a line contactor from the Schneider Electric Altivar 71 Plus range, designed specifically for floor-standing enclosures with separate air flows or the compact version. Rated at 230 V AC, it serves as a protection accessory that isolates the drive from the mains during off-states or fault conditions.
Integration notes
Mounts inside the Altivar floor-standing enclosure, wired between the mains supply and the drive input. The 230 V AC coil voltage matches standard control voltages in European panels. Verify the contactor's auxiliary contact configuration against the drive's safety circuit requirements before commissioning.
