The Schneider VW3A5306 Output dv/dt Filter is a heavy-duty passive output filter engineered for Schneider Electric Altivar Process ATV600, ATV900, Altivar Easy 610, and selected ATV340 variable speed drives. Rated at 180 A, it is designed for applications with drive power from 30 kW to 90 kW. Installed between the drive and the motor, it reduces PWM switching voltage stress, minimizes reflected-wave overvoltage, lowers leakage current, and enhances motor protection.
Its robust industrial construction, IP00 enclosure, and high-current copper bar terminals make the VW3A5306 suitable for demanding industrial environments. It is an excellent choice for OEM machine builders, panel manufacturers, and system integrators requiring improved motor reliability, enhanced EMC performance, and support for extended motor cable lengths.

Where It Excels in Industrial Use
• Protection for Long Motor Cable Installations
The Schneider VW3A5306 is an output dv/dt filter designed for Altivar variable speed drives. Installed between the drive and motor, it limits voltage rise time (dv/dt), suppresses reflected-wave overvoltage, and protects motor insulation in applications with long motor cable lengths.
• Reduced Electromagnetic Interference
The filter reduces high-frequency switching noise generated by PWM inverter outputs, helping improve electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and minimizing interference with nearby industrial equipment.
• Enhanced Motor Reliability
By reducing voltage peaks at the motor terminals and lowering leakage currents, the VW3A5306 helps extend motor service life and is especially beneficial for standard motors operating on inverter power.
• Industrial Automation Applications
Suitable for pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, mixers, HVAC systems, water treatment equipment, mining machinery, and other industrial automation systems utilizing high-power Altivar drives.
Key Strengths at a Glance
• High Current Capacity
Supports a continuous rated current of 180 A, making it suitable for medium- and high-power drive applications.
• Supports 30–90 kW Drives
Designed for Altivar drives with motor power ratings from 30 kW to 90 kW.
• Reduces Motor Overvoltage
Limits voltage overshoot at motor terminals, helping protect winding insulation and reducing premature motor failures.
• Industrial Cabinet Installation
Features an IP00 enclosure rating and heavy-duty copper bar M10 power connections for installation inside electrical control cabinets.
