The Schneider Electric VW3AP0602 is a dv/dt filter choke designed for Altivar Process ATV600 and ATV900 compact drive systems in the 200 to 315 kW power range, supporting motor cable runs up to 150 m. It is classified as a protection accessory, meaning its job is to limit voltage spikes and reflected-wave stress on motor insulation — a common concern with long cable runs from PWM drives.
The 150 m cable length rating is the maximum motor cable distance the dv/dt filter supports — exceeding that risks damaging motor winding insulation from reflected-wave overvoltage. The 200 to 315 kW power band ties the filter to specific ATV600/ATV900 drive frames; verify your drive's power rating matches before specifying. As a dv/dt filter choke, it mounts between the drive output and motor cable, typically inside the standard enclosure that the drive system ships with — no separate panel cutout or DIN-rail footprint required.
