Schneider Electric VW3A16504 Three-Phase Line Reactor

Description:

The Square D Telemecanique VW3A16504 is a three-phase line inductor (line reactor) for Altivar 16 AC variable frequency drives, designed to reduce input harmonics, limit line disturbances, and improve drive protection in industrial motor control systems. Commonly installed in conveyor systems, pumps, fans, compressors, machine tools, and manufacturing equipment where electrical noise suppression and improved power quality are required. Maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators use this line inductor for equipment replacement, drive installations, machine retrofits, and industrial power system upgrades.

Applications:

The Telemecanique VW3A16504 is installed on the input supply of compatible Altivar 16 drives to reduce line transients, minimize harmonic currents, and improve drive performance on low-impedance or electrically noisy power networks. It is also suitable for use between the drive and motor in long cable installations or multi-motor applications where additional inductance helps reduce leakage currents and voltage stress.
