The VW3AP0613 is a dv/dt filter choke from Schneider Electric's Altivar Process range, designed for the ATV600 and ATV900 drive families. It sits between the drive output and the motor cable, limiting the rate of voltage rise (dv/dt) to protect motor insulation from reflected-wave stress on long cable runs. The filter is rated for cable lengths up to 300 m and drive power ratings of 355 to 500 kW.
Installation constraint
The VW3AP0613 cannot be ordered as a standalone component. Per the manufacturer's condition of use, it must be specified in combination with a standard enclosure. Plan for panel integration when sourcing this filter — it is not a loose chassis-mount unit.
The 300 m cable-length rating means this filter supports motor cable runs up to that distance without requiring additional output reactors or termination networks — within the dv/dt limits of the ATV600/ATV900 drive output stage. The 355-500 kW power band covers the larger frame sizes in those drive families. It is classified as a protection accessory for compact drive systems, so it is sized and thermally rated for continuous operation at those power levels.
