The Schneider VCF0GE is a robust and high-performance enclosed emergency stop switch disconnector, designed to ensure a high level of safety and reliability in a variety of industrial applications. With a rated operational current of 14.5 A at AC-23A 400 V and a conventional enclosed thermal current of 20 A, this switch disconnector is capable of handling significant electrical loads while maintaining operational integrity.
Crafted with a 3-pole configuration and featuring a rotary handle for ease of operation, the VCF0GE is distinguished by its red handle and yellow front plate, which are universally recognised colours for emergency stop functions. The device allows for padlocking with 1 to 3 padlocks, ensuring secure lockout and tagout procedures for maintenance and safety compliance.
The VCF0GE is designed to withstand harsh industrial environments, with an IP65 rating confirming its dust-tight and water-resistant enclosure. It can operate within a temperature range of -20 to 50°C, making it suitable for a wide range of ambient conditions. The switch disconnector also boasts impressive mechanical and electrical durability, rated at 100,000 cycles for AC-21 operations, ensuring a long service life.
This switch disconnector is compliant with IEC 60204 and IEC 60947-4-1 standards, ensuring it meets the rigorous requirements for electrical equipment in industrial installations. Its green premium status indicates a commitment to environmental sustainability, being free of substances of very high concern (SVHC) above the threshold and compliant with the EU RoHS Directive.
The VCF0GE is a testament to Schneider's dedication to quality and safety in electrical components, providing a reliable solution for emergency power cut-off needs in industrial settings.
