Schneider Electric VLSH2S5R TeSys VLS Rotary Disconnect Switch, 65x65mm, NEMA 1-4X, IP65, Red Handle

Description

Features

• TeSys Vario Operating Handle: Safe External Operation The Schneider Electric VLSH2S5R is a high-performance rotary operating handle designed for use with TeSys Vario switch-disconnectors (specifically the V3, V4, V5, and V6 frame sizes). This handle allows Canadian operators to turn a main power switch "ON" or "OFF" from the outside of an electrical enclosure without ever opening the door, significantly reducing the risk of accidental contact with live 600V components.
• The "R" in the part number signifies the Red handle and Yellow bezel color scheme. According to international and Canadian safety standards, this specific color combination is reserved for Emergency Stop functions. It ensures that in a crisis, a worker in a Canadian sawmill or factory can instantly identify the disconnect as the primary means to kill power to the machine.
• This handle is built for the "real world." It carries a NEMA 4/4X and IP65 rating, meaning it is dust-tight, watertight, and corrosion-resistant. Whether it's exposed to high-pressure washdowns in a Canadian food processing plant or the freezing slush of an outdoor mining site, the VLSH2S5R will maintain its seal and mechanical integrity.
• Safety is paramount in Canadian industrial maintenance. The VLSH2S5R is padlockable with up to three separate padlocks in the "OFF" position. This is essential for Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, ensuring that the machine cannot be accidentally re-energized while a technician is performing repairs.
• The "S5" designation indicates it is designed for a 5mm x 5mm square shaft. This allows the handle to be mounted on the enclosure door while the actual switch body (the Vario unit) is mounted on the backpanel. The shaft bridges the gap, providing a rugged mechanical connection that remains aligned even after years of opening and closing the cabinet door.
