The Schneider VW3AE0627 is a motor choke designed for Altivar 71 Plus and Altivar 61 Plus drives mounted in floor-standing enclosures with separate air flows or compact versions. It sits in the protection accessories category, filtering motor-side voltage reflections and limiting dV/dt to protect winding insulation on longer cable runs.
Schneider lists the VW3AE0627 as obsolete.
Fit & Deployment
This choke is specific to Altivar floor-standing enclosures with separate air flows or the compact version — not the standard IP20 or IP54 wall-mount drive variants. Verify the drive frame size and enclosure type before specifying; the choke mounts inside the enclosure, wired between the drive output and the motor cable.
