Schneider Electric Telemecanique VW3A16406 EMI Filter

Description:

The Telemecanique VW3A16406 is a three-phase RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) filter for Altivar 16 AC variable frequency drives, designed for 400–460 VAC, 50/60 Hz power systems to reduce conducted electromagnetic interference and improve electromagnetic compatibility. Commonly installed in conveyor systems, pumps, fans, packaging machinery, and industrial automation equipment where compliance with EMC requirements and reduced electrical noise are essential for reliable drive operation. Maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators use this RFI filter for equipment replacement, drive installations, machine retrofits, and industrial motor control system upgrades.

Applications:

The Telemecanique VW3A16406 is installed at the input of compatible Altivar 16 drives to suppress conducted radio frequency emissions, helping industrial equipment comply with EMC standards while minimizing interference with nearby electrical devices. It is widely used in factory automation and motor control applications where improved power quality, reduced electromagnetic noise, and reliable drive performance are required.
