What this IP54 conformity kit does
The Schneider Electric VW3AP0354 is an IP54 conformity kit that upgrades the ingress protection of Altivar Process ATV600 and ATV900 compact drive systems to IP54. It is sized for drive systems rated 560 to 630 kW in size 4A enclosures. The kit comprises two upper air ducts, one lower air duct, and a 200 mm plinth — the ductwork routes cooling air through the sealed enclosure while the plinth raises the drive to maintain the IP54 seal at the cable entry.
Sourcing constraint — cannot be ordered standalone
This part carries a condition of use: it cannot be ordered alone — only in combination with a standard enclosure. That means the VW3AP0354 is a bill-of-material line item that ships as part of a configured drive system, not a shelf-stocked accessory you buy separately.
Integration into the drive system
The plinth raises the drive enclosure 200 mm off the mounting surface, creating space for cable glands and maintaining the IP54 seal at the bottom entry. The upper and lower air ducts preserve the drive's forced-air cooling path through the sealed enclosure — critical for keeping the 560-630 kW power stage within its thermal limits.
