The Schneider Electric VW3AE2417 is a switch for 12-pulse input, part of the Altivar 71 Plus range. It is a control accessory designed specifically for Altivar floor-standing enclosures with separate air flows or the compact version.
This part is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. There is no official successor order code in the available records; sourcing is through independent distribution channels against an RFQ. For a BOM line that requires this exact 12-pulse input switch, the procurement path is a last-time-buy or surplus/broker channel.
The VW3AE2417 is a switch for 12-pulse input, meaning it is used in drives configured for 12-pulse rectification to reduce line harmonics. It mounts in the Altivar floor-standing enclosure with separate air flows or the compact version — not a general-purpose panel component.
