TELEMECANIQUE VW3A4554

Telemecanique VW3A4554 AC Line Choke Description The Telemecanique VW3A4554 is a three-phase AC line choke, also known as a line reactor, designed for use with variable speed drives. This robust component is installed at the input of a frequency inverter to improve power quality by reducing harmonic distortion, mitigating voltage spikes, and limiting inrush currents. It enhances the overall reliability and lifespan of the motor drive system. Specifications Manufacturer: Telemecanique (Schneider Electric) Model: VW3A4554 Product Type: AC Line Choke Phases: 3 Nominal Current: 31 A Inductance: 1 mH Frequency: 50/60 Hz Compatibility: Primarily for Altivar 61 and Altivar 71 drives Application This line choke is essential for applications where power line quality is poor or where multiple drives are running on the same line. It is commonly used in industrial automation, HVAC, pumping, and material handling systems to ensure stable and efficient operation of motor control systems. Country of Origin Made in the Czech Republic. CO2 Impact By purchasing this pre-owned component, you are contributing to a circular economy and helping to avoid 15 kg of CO2 emissions associated with the production of a new unit. This is equivalent to the emissions from driving a car for 75 kilometers. Availability This item is a reliable, tested component from our stock.

FAQ What is the primary function of this VW3A4554 line choke?The VW3A4554 is installed on the input side of a variable speed drive to reduce harmonic currents sent back into the power grid, protect the drive’s input rectifiers from voltage spikes, and limit peak inrush currents. Which specific drive series is this choke compatible with?This line choke was originally designed for the Schneider Electric Altivar 61 (ATV61) and Altivar 71 (ATV71) series of frequency inverters, particularly for models in the 11 kW to 15 kW power range. Can I use this choke with a modern Altivar Process (ATV600/900) drive?While electrically it might be possible, it is not recommended. Modern drives are optimized with specific choke characteristics. For new installations or replacements with Altivar Process drives, you should consult the official Schneider Electric documentation to select the correct, currently supported line choke. profideals is not an authorized distributor, reseller or representative of the products featured on this website.
