What this filter does
The VW3AE0652 is a sinus filter — a protection accessory that cleans the PWM output from an Altivar drive into a near-sine wave, reducing motor heating, bearing currents, and cable stress. It's sized for Altivar floor-standing enclosures with separate air flows or the compact version, covering both the Altivar 71 Plus and Altivar 61 Plus ranges.
Listed lifecycle stage is mature, and the product status is Active — meaning Schneider still manufactures it, but it's past the introduction phase.
