The Schneider Electric VW3M5301R1000 is a Lexium-series motor power cable, 100 m (328.08 ft) on a single reel, built for creating custom-length power cordsets between a servo motor and its drive. The cable composition is 4 x 1.5 mm² power conductors plus 2 x 1 mm² signal/brake conductors — a common configuration for Lexium BSH, BCH, and similar servo families that route both motor phases and holding-brake or encoder power through the same jacket.
What the Cable Specs Mean for Fit
The 4 x 1.5 mm² power conductors are sized for the continuous current draw of a typical Lexium servo motor up to roughly 7–8 A per phase at 400 VAC (the exact ampacity depends on installation method and ambient temperature — 1.5 mm² copper in a multicore cable with a 40 °C ambient is generally good for 10–12 A per conductor in free air, less when bundled in a cable tray). The 2 x 1 mm² conductors handle the holding-brake coil (typically 24 VDC, 0.5–1 A) or a separate encoder power pair. If your motor brake draws more than 1 A continuous, check the voltage drop over 100 m of 1 mm² copper — at 24 VDC and 1 A, the round-trip drop is roughly 3.5 V, which may leave the brake below its hold-in voltage.
Deployment Context
This cable is intended for permanent wiring between a servo drive (Lexium 32, Lexium 28, or similar) and the mating motor connector. It is not a pre-terminated ready-to-run cable — it is bulk cable for the panel builder or machine builder to cut, strip, and fit with the appropriate circular connectors (typically M23 or M40, depending on the motor frame). The 100 m length suits a production run of multiple machines or a single long cable run where a factory-terminated cable would not reach.
