The VW3AE0654 is a sinus filter from the Altivar 71 Plus range, designed as a protection accessory for Altivar floor-standing enclosures — specifically the variants with separate air flows or the compact version. A sinus filter sits on the output side of a variable-frequency drive, converting the PWM waveform into a near-sinusoidal voltage to the motor. That reduces motor heating, bearing currents, and acoustic noise — useful on long cable runs or with older motor insulation systems.
Same part, different passport — this filter is the same genuine Schneider component regardless of which regional channel it ships through.
Integration note
Mounts inside the Altivar floor-standing enclosure, sized for the separate air-flow or compact layout. No DIN-rail footprint — it bolts directly to the enclosure backplate, so verify the gland plate clearance and cable entry before committing the panel layout.
