The Schneider VW3AE0302 is an AC control transformer rated 500 VA at 230 V AC, designed as an adaptation accessory for Altivar 71 Plus and Altivar 61 Plus floor-standing enclosures with separate air flows or compact versions. The 500 VA rating supplies control-circuit power for the drive's logic, auxiliaries, and panel components — sized for the transformer's own secondary load, not the motor power path. It mounts inside the drive enclosure, so verify the physical cavity clearance against the cabinet layout before specifying.
The VW3AE0302 carries an active lifecycle status. No official successor has been issued — this remains the current control-transformer option for the Altivar 71 Plus and 61 Plus platform.
