Schneider VZ1 is a TeSys Vario additional pole designed for use with V1 switch disconnectors. This side-mounted auxiliary contact adds a single normally open pole to compatible TeSys Vario assemblies, providing a practical way to expand switching functionality within control panels and industrial electrical systems. Rated for 32 A conventional free air thermal current and 690 V AC operation at 50/60 Hz, it is suitable for AC and DC networks where reliable isolation and switching performance are required. The compact 16 x 35 x 74 mm format allows straightforward panel integration, while screw clamp terminals accommodate solid and flexible conductors for secure wiring. Built to IEC 60947-3 standards, the VZ1 offers high mechanical durability, IP20 protection and dependable performance in demanding automation and power distribution applications.
