The VW3AE0630 is a motor choke from the Altivar 61 Plus and Altivar 71 Plus accessory range, designed for floor-standing enclosures with separate air flows or compact versions. It sits in the Protection accessories category — a line-side choke that smooths voltage reflections and limits motor cable charging currents, which matters when the drive-to-motor distance pushes past the manufacturer's recommended cable length.
This choke is specific to Altivar floor-standing enclosures — not the IP20 panel-mount drives, but the larger cabinet builds with separate air-flow paths. If you're retrofitting a line that originally shipped with an Altivar 61 Plus or 71 Plus in a floor-standing enclosure, the VW3AE0630 is the factory-specified motor choke. For a new build or a panel swap, the choke's physical footprint and terminal arrangement need to match the cabinet's gland plate and bus-bar layout; without the original cabinet drawing, a trial fit is the safe move.
