The VW3AP0711 is a connection enclosure from Schneider Electric's Altivar Process range, designed specifically for the ATV600 and ATV900 compact drive systems rated 355 to 800 kW. It ships as a pre-assembled kit comprising one connection enclosure, power terminals, and a main switch, with cable entry from the bottom and a plinth for floor-standing cabinet integration.
Bottom cable entry means incoming power and motor cables route up through the gland plate rather than entering from the top or side — a common requirement in IP-rated floor-mount enclosures where top entry would compromise the seal or force an overhead cable tray. The plinth raises the enclosure base off the floor, giving clearance for the cable bend radius. This accessory cannot be ordered alone; it must be combined with a standard enclosure from the same drive system. The drive and enclosure are sourced separately, and the VW3AP0711 bolts onto the enclosure base before the drive module is installed.
