The VW3AE0224 is a line contactor from Schneider Electric's Altivar 71 Plus and Altivar 61 Plus drive range, designed for floor-standing enclosures with separate air flows or compact versions. It operates on a 230 V AC supply and serves as a protection accessory, switching the main power to the drive.
This part is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer.
Integration Context
The contactor mounts inside the Altivar floor-standing enclosure, handling the line-side switching for the drive. The 230 V AC coil voltage matches standard control circuits in many industrial panels; verify coil suppression polarity if the drive's control board provides the coil supply.
