Product details

The VW3AP0252 is a motor for circuit-breaker, a protection accessory for the Altivar Process ATV600 and ATV900 drive families. It operates at 230 V AC and is sized for drive systems in the 355 to 400 kW range — think large conveyors, pumps, or compressors on a medium-voltage plant floor.

The 230 V AC supply voltage is the coil rating for the circuit-breaker motor — it drives the spring-charging mechanism, not the drive's power stage. On an ATV600 or ATV900 cabinet above 355 kW, this motor sits inside the standard enclosure, wired to the control transformer. Verify your panel's control voltage matches; if your site runs 208 V or 240 V single-phase, the motor will still pull in, but a 230 V nominal coil drops out around 184 V AC, so check sag under load.

Frequently asked questions

What is VW3AP0252 used for?

It is a motor for the circuit-breaker inside Altivar Process ATV600 and ATV900 drive systems rated 355 to 400 kW. It charges the breaker's spring mechanism so the drive can safely disconnect under fault or maintenance conditions.
