The Schneider VZ Series Additional Neutral Block is a high-performance component designed to enhance the functionality of electrical systems. With a product or component type of additional neutral block, this unit is compatible with a range of TeSys VARIO switch disconnectors, making it a versatile choice for various applications.

Boasting a robust construction, the VZ11 model is equipped with a single neutral (1N) pole and features one normally open (NO) contact with early make and late break operation. This ensures reliable connectivity and disconnection, which is critical in managing electrical circuits effectively.

Rated for a system voltage of 690 V AC at 50/60 Hz, the VZ11 can handle a conventional free air thermal current of 40 A, making it suitable for handling significant electrical loads. The unit's mechanical durability is impressive, with a capacity for 100,000 cycles, and its electrical durability is equally robust, rated for 30,000 cycles in DC applications and 100,000 cycles in AC applications.

The additional neutral block is designed with user convenience in mind, featuring screw clamp terminals that accommodate cables up to 6 mm² in flexibility with a cable end and up to 10 mm² in solidity. The tightening torque required for secure connection is 2.1 N.m, ensuring a firm and safe installation.

With dimensions of 74 mm in height, 16 mm in width, and 35 mm in depth, the VZ11 is compact and can be easily integrated into existing setups. It also maintains a light weight of 0.05 kg, which contributes to its ease of handling and installation.

The VZ11 is compliant with the IEC 60947-3 standard and has received product certifications from notable bodies such as CSA, UL, and UKCA, reflecting its adherence to high-quality standards and safety. The protective treatment of TC and an IP degree of protection of IP20 conforming to IEC 60529 ensure that the unit is safeguarded against ingress and is durable against environmental factors.

In terms of environmental performance, the VZ11 is a Green Premium product, indicating its compliance with REACh and EU RoHS directives. It is free from toxic heavy metals, mercury, and is a halogen-free product, which underscores its environmentally conscious design.

Overall, the Schneider VZ Series Additional Neutral Block VZ11 is a reliable and efficient solution for enhancing the safety and functionality of electrical switchgear, making it an essential component for industrial and commercial electrical systems.
