The Schneider VBF2GE is a robust and high-performance enclosed switch disconnector, designed to facilitate preventive maintenance in a variety of industrial settings. With a rated operational current of 29 A for AC-23A at 400 V and a conventional enclosed thermal current of 32 A, this TeSys Vario product ensures reliable disconnection and circuit isolation.

Crafted for durability, the VBF2GE boasts a mechanical endurance of 100,000 cycles and an electrical durability that matches this figure for AC-21 operations, ensuring a long-lasting solution for your electrical systems. The device features a 3-pole configuration and is operated via a rotary handle, which can be padlocked with 1 to 3 padlocks for secure lockout procedures, enhancing safety during maintenance.

The unit is rated at an operational voltage of 690 V AC and has an impulse withstand voltage of 8 kV, providing a robust defence against voltage spikes. Its making capacity reaches 400 A at 400 V AC-21A, and it has a rated short-circuit making capacity of 1 kA at 400 V at Ipeak, ensuring it can handle high-demand scenarios with ease.

The VBF2GE is designed with user-friendliness in mind, featuring a black rotary handle and front plate that provide a clear visual indication of the switch's status. The switch's terminals are designed for both solid and flexible wires, with a tightening torque of 2.1 N.m, ensuring secure and reliable connections.

Encased in an IP65 rated enclosure conforming to IEC 60529, the switch disconnector is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. The product operates effectively within a temperature range of -20 to 50 °C, further demonstrating its adaptability to challenging industrial conditions.

The VBF2GE is a Green Premium product, reflecting Schneider Electric's commitment to sustainability and compliance with environmental regulations, including REACh and EU RoHS directives. This commitment ensures that the switch disconnector is free from harmful substances and is designed with environmental considerations in mind.

Overall, the Schneider VBF2GE is a reliable and environmentally conscious choice for those seeking a high-quality switch disconnector for industrial applications. Its robust design, coupled with its performance capabilities, make it an essential component for ensuring operational efficiency and safety.
