The Schneider VBF0GE is a robust TeSys Vario enclosed switch disconnector designed for high-performance applications requiring reliable disconnection and circuit isolation. With a rated operational current of 14.5 A at 400 V in AC-23A conditions and a conventional enclosed thermal current of 20 A, this switch disconnector is suitable for a wide range of industrial settings. It features a 3-pole configuration and a rotary handle control for ease of operation, which can be padlocked with 1 to 3 padlocks for added security.
Constructed to withstand challenging environments, the VBF0GE boasts an IP65 rating, ensuring protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. The unit is also compliant with IEC 60204 and IEC 60947-4-1 standards, offering peace of mind regarding its quality and durability. Mechanical robustness is assured with a vibration resistance of 10...150 Hz and shock resistance of 30 Gn for 11 ms, as per IEC 60068-2-6 and IEC 60068-2-27, respectively.
The switch disconnector's environmental credentials are highlighted by its Green Premium product status, indicating compliance with REACh and EU RoHS directives, ensuring it is free from toxic heavy metals and mercury. The product's environmental profile and disposal instructions align with WEEE regulations, emphasising responsible end-of-life handling.
With a compact design, the VBF0GE measures 146 mm in height, 90 mm in width, and 131 mm in depth, and has a net weight of 0.5 kg. Its handle front plate dimensions are 60 x 60 mm, and it offers a fire resistance of 960 °C conforming to IEC 60595-2-1. The switch disconnector is marked for clear identification and features screw clamp terminals for solid and flexible connections, with a tightening torque of 2.1 N.m.
This product is a reliable solution for preventive maintenance and control applications where safety and performance are paramount.
