VW3A31453

Overview

The VW3A31453 is a ferrite suppressor manufactured by Schneider Electric, designed for use with Altivar 312, Altivar 312 Solar, and Altivar 12 drives. It functions as an accessory to manage electromagnetic interference in downstream circuits. The component is specified for applications requiring suppression of contactor opening transients. It supports motor power ratings up to 0.75 hp and operates within a voltage range of 200 to 240VAC. The maximum output current rating is 3.5 A. The unit features an IP20 protection rating.

Feature Summary

• Provides ferrite suppression for downstream contactor opening scenarios
• Compatible with specific Altivar drive series including solar variants
• Engineered to mitigate electromagnetic interference in control circuits

Applications

• Downstream contactor opening suppression
• Altivar 312 drive installations
• Altivar 312 Solar drive systems
• Altivar 12 drive configurations

Procurement Notes

Verify compatibility with the specific Altivar drive model before procurement. Confirm that the application requires ferrite suppression for downstream contactor opening rather than input or output filtering. Ensure the operating voltage and current parameters align with the system requirements. Check regional availability as supply may be restricted in certain areas. Consult official documentation for installation guidelines.

Selection Notes

Select this component when electromagnetic interference mitigation is required specifically for downstream contactor operations. It is intended for use with Altivar 312, Altivar 312 Solar, and Altivar 12 drives. Consider this part if the system design necessitates suppression of transients generated during contactor switching events. Verify that the 0.75 hp and 3.5 A ratings meet the load requirements.
