The VW3AE0616 is a motor choke from the Altivar 61 Plus range, classified as a protection accessory. It is designed for installation in an Altivar floor-standing enclosure with separate air flows or the compact version. The choke sits on the output side of the drive, limiting the rate of voltage rise (dV/dt) and reducing motor insulation stress on long cable runs. Placing this choke between the drive output and the motor cable reduces reflected-wave overvoltage that can damage winding insulation. It also attenuates common-mode currents that cause bearing fluting in larger frame motors.
