The Schneider VCCD2 is a high-performance TeSys Vario emergency-stop switch disconnector designed for mounting at the rear of an enclosure. This three-pole unit features three normally open contacts, an extended rotary control and a distinctive red handle with a yellow 60 × 60 mm front plate. The handle mounts through a 22.5 mm door opening and can be secured in position using up to three padlocks.
Rated for operation at up to 690 V AC, the VCCD2 has a conventional free-air thermal current rating of 40 A and an enclosed thermal current rating of 32 A. It supports motor loads up to 11 kW at 400–415 V in AC-3 applications and provides screw-clamp terminals for solid conductors up to 10 mm² or flexible conductors up to 6 mm² with cable ends. The switch body can be fitted to a symmetrical rail or mounting plate, offering installation flexibility for industrial control panels and machinery enclosures. It conforms to IEC 60947-3 and provides IP65 protection at the operating handle.
