Product Description

The VW3A4552 is a Schneider Electric product that functions as an integrated EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) filter designed for use with Altivar variable frequency drives (VFDs), particularly with the Altivar 32 and Altivar 320 series drives. The filter helps in reducing the electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by the drive during operation, ensuring that the VFD operates within the regulatory standards for electromagnetic emissions and does not interfere with other electrical equipment.
