Product details

The Schneider VW3AE0606 is a motor choke designed as a protection accessory for Altivar 61 Plus, Altivar 61 Plus-LH, Altivar 71 Plus, and Altivar 71 Plus-LH floor-standing drives with separate air flows or compact versions. It's a line-output choke that sits between the drive and the motor, smoothing voltage spikes and limiting the rate of voltage rise (dV/dt) to protect motor winding insulation on long cable runs.

The VW3AE0606 mounts inside the Altivar floor-standing enclosure, wired between the drive output terminals and the motor cable. It's sized for the drive's rated output current, so verify the drive frame rating matches the choke's current capacity before specifying — the choke itself doesn't carry an amp rating in the basic listing, but the physical size and terminal block tell the story once you have it in hand.
