The VW3AP0851 is a 200 mm plinth from Schneider Electric, designed as an enclosure accessory for the Altivar Process ATV600 and ATV900 compact drive systems. It is intended for drive systems rated 110 to 160 kW, providing the necessary clearance for cable entry and airflow beneath the enclosure. This part cannot be ordered alone — it must be purchased in combination with a standard enclosure from the same drive system family. Plan the full enclosure assembly before committing the BOM line.
Because this plinth is a system-level accessory tied to the ATV600/ATV900 enclosure family, availability is stable as long as those drive platforms remain active. For current pricing and lead time, submit an RFQ — we source through independent distribution and confirm availability at quote time.
Integration note for panel builders
The 200 mm plinth mounts beneath the drive enclosure, raising the unit off the mounting surface. This gap accommodates bottom cable entry and allows convective cooling airflow under the heatsink — critical for maintaining rated output current in the 110–160 kW range without derating. Verify the enclosure floor plate clearance before assembly: the plinth height sets the minimum bend radius for power cables exiting the bottom gland plate. For IP54-rated installations, the plinth-to-enclosure seal must be intact to preserve the ingress protection rating.
