The Schneider VW3AE0623 is a motor choke designed specifically for Altivar 61 Plus floor-standing enclosures — both the version with separate air flows and the compact variant. It sits in the protection accessories category, meaning it's the output-side inductive component that limits voltage spikes and reduces motor-cable reflections on longer runs, a common need when the drive is panel-mounted and the motor is tens of meters away.
