The Schneider Altivar VW3SKLN200H175 is a 3-phase line choke rated at 200 A continuous with 0.175 mH inductance, sized to reduce current harmonics on the input side of a variable-frequency drive. Thermal losses run 113 W at full load, so panel ventilation needs to handle that heat — it's an open-frame IP00 device, meaning it's meant for an enclosure, not standalone outdoor use.
The 200 A rated current is the continuous RMS figure — it's sized for the drive input, not the motor output. The 0.175 mH inductance gives enough impedance to knock down the 5th and 7th harmonic peaks typical of a 6-pulse rectifier front end. Overload capability is 1.5 x nominal for 60 seconds, which covers the inrush during drive precharge. Dimensions are 194 mm deep, 320 mm wide, 370 mm tall — bolt pattern will match standard Altivar line-choke mounting, but measure the existing bracket before committing.
Designed to EN 50178, the standard for electronic equipment used in power installations — covers insulation coordination and clearance/creepage for industrial drives. IP00 means no ingress protection; install inside a panel with at least IP54 cabinet rating if the environment has dust or moisture.
