The VW3AP0612 is a dv/dt filter choke for Schneider Electric Altivar Process ATV600 and ATV900 compact drive systems, sized for drives in the 200 to 315 kW range with a 300 m cable run. It is a protection accessory that limits voltage spikes and reflected wave stress on motor insulation during PWM drive operation — a common failure point on long cable runs that can take out a winding before the drive faults.
Installation constraint
This filter cannot be ordered alone — it is only sold in combination with a standard enclosure. Factor that into the BOM: the enclosure must be specified alongside the filter, not as a separate line item later. The accessory destination is a compact drive system, meaning it mounts within or adjacent to the drive enclosure, not as a standalone panel component.
