The VW3AP0816 is a seaworthy packaging accessory from Schneider Electric, designed specifically for Altivar Process ATV600 and ATV900 compact drive systems. It measures 1400 mm and is intended for transport and protection of the drive during ocean freight or harsh shipping conditions. This packaging cannot be ordered alone — it must be combined with a standard enclosure as part of the drive system order. That means if you're sourcing this for a BOM line, the enclosure needs to be on the same purchase order.
Because it's a packaging accessory tied to a specific drive family, availability is generally stable through Schneider's distribution channel.
This packaging is intended for Altivar Process ATV600 and ATV900 compact drive systems — the 1400 mm dimension matches the drive height in those series. It's a transport accessory, not a functional electrical component; its job is to protect the drive during shipment, particularly in marine or high-humidity environments where standard cardboard would degrade.
