Description
These TeSys VLS disconnect switches are for integration into control systems in applications like material handling, HVAC, pumping, solar energy, mining and many more. This family of disconnect switches has switches ranging from 16A to 125A. The 16A, 25A, 32A, 40A and 63A disconnect switches are UL508 motor disconnect switches rated. The 30A, 63A, 80A, 100A and 125A disconnect switches are UL98 non fusible disconnect switch rated. This 40A disconnect switch has 3 normally open poles and mounts on DIN rail. Per UL and CSA this this disconnect switch has a 2 HP rating at 120 VAC and a 5 HP at 240 VAC single phase. Per UL and CSA this disconnect switch has a 10 HP rating at 200 to 208 VAC, a 15 HP rating at 240 VAC, a 20 HP rating at 480 VAC and a 25 HP rating at 600 VAC three phase. Per UL508A this this disconnect switch has up to a 5 kA at 600 V short circuit current rating (SCCR) with a 30A Type RK5 fuse maximum. Per IEC requirements, this disconnect switch has a 18.5 kW rating at 400 V, a 18.5 kW rating at 500 V and a 22 kW rating at 690V three phase. The screw clamp terminals will accept 10 mm solid or 16 mm stranded wire. The clamps will also accept solid or stranded wire from 18 AWG to 6 AWG. This disconnect switch is 3.07 inches tall, 1.42 inches wide and 2.95 inches deep. The switch weighs 0.30 lbs. There are many handles and accessories available this TeSys VLS disconnect switch. This TeSys VLS disconnect switch is cULus Listed and meets IEC 60947-3 requirements.
Features
- Rated for a continuous 40 Amps up to 600V AC, this 3-pole non-fusible disconnect body delivers exceptional power scaling within a highly compact framework. It handles demanding motor loads up to 15 HP at 240V, 20 HP at 480V, and 25 HP at 600V AC, making it ideal for isolating heavy-duty HVAC compressors, industrial water pumps, and material handling conveyors without risking contact degradation.
- Boasting an ultra-slim size 1 footprint that measures just 36mm (1.42 inches) wide, this switch-disconnector maximizes precious horizontal rail estate inside tightly packed automation boxes. The low-profile structure slides directly onto standard 35mm DIN rails, allowing panel building teams to squeeze high-amperage local isolation points into cramped enclosures where bulkier traditional switches fail to fit.
- The rugged power circuit screw-clamp terminals are engineered with an expansive landing pad that tightly secures solid or stranded wires ranging from 18 AWG down to 6 AWG. Torquing down to the factory specification of 15.93... 17.7 lbf-in (1.8... 2 N-m) creates a gas-tight compression joint that actively resists thermal expansion cycles and factory machine vibration, permanently eliminating hot spot faults and loose-wire maintenance callouts.
- Built as a highly adaptable base platform, the TeSys VLS housing features side-mount mechanical coupling interfaces that support rapid field modifications.
- Carrying full cULus listing to UL 508 / CSA C22.2 No 14 alongside complete IEC 60947-3 compliance, this device naturally adapts to both North American and European industrial design parameters. The IP20 finger-safe housing prevents accidental worker contact with live terminals, ensuring seamless site inspection approval for industrial plant managers and independent safety auditors alike.
