The Schneider VW3A5302 Output dv/dt Filter is a passive output filter designed for Altivar Process ATV600 and ATV900 variable speed drives. Installed between the drive and the motor, it limits PWM voltage rise time, suppresses reflected-wave overvoltage, and reduces electromagnetic interference. These features help protect motor insulation, improve system reliability, and allow the use of longer motor cables in demanding industrial applications.
The VW3A5302 is particularly suited for industrial automation systems where motors are located at a significant distance from the drive. Its robust IP20 construction and compatibility with Altivar Process drives make it an ideal solution for OEMs, panel builders, and system integrators seeking enhanced motor protection and improved EMC performance.

Where It Excels in Industrial Use
• Motor Protection with Long Cable Runs
The Schneider VW3A5302 is an output dv/dt filter designed for Altivar Process variable speed drives. Installed between the drive and the motor, it limits voltage rise time (dv/dt) and reduces voltage peaks at the motor terminals, making it ideal for installations with long motor cables.
• Reduced Electromagnetic Interference
The filter suppresses high-frequency interference generated by PWM inverter outputs, improving electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and reducing electrical noise in industrial automation systems.
• Improved Motor Reliability
By minimizing reflected wave overvoltage and reducing insulation stress, the VW3A5302 helps extend motor service life, especially when using standard motors that are not specifically designed for inverter duty.
• Industrial Automation Applications
Suitable for pumps, fans, conveyors, compressors, packaging machinery, material handling systems, HVAC equipment, and process automation installations using Altivar Process drives.
Key Strengths at a Glance
• Output dv/dt Filter
Designed specifically to reduce the impact of high dv/dt switching generated by variable speed drives.
• 15 A Rated Current
Supports variable speed drives with a continuous output current of 15 A.
• Supports Longer Motor Cables
Allows motor cable lengths beyond the standard maximum permitted by the drive while maintaining reliable motor operation.
• Compact IP20 Design
Designed for installation inside industrial control cabinets with an IP20 protection rating.
