Spec sheet

Description

Engineered for robust reliability, this heavy-duty safety switch from Schneider Electric is designed to operate efficiently under demanding conditions. With a voltage rating of 600V and a 60A capacity, it provides safe disconnect for electrical circuits, ensuring maximum safety in power distribution. Featuring a three-pole configuration and NEMA 12 enclosure, this switch is well-suited for industrial environments, delivering dependable performance in controlling power to your equipment. The high-quality construction promises durability, making it an essential component for any serious industrial application.

Features

  • Built for high-performance industrial applications, this 60A, 600V AC/DC safety switch is designed to safely make and break power under heavy motor loads. Unlike standard switches, the VH362AWKGL features a high-impact, visible blade design and superior mechanical durability, providing a long service life and high reliability for critical machinery and automated production lines.
  • This model comes equipped with a factory-installed ground lug, significantly reducing installation time and ensuring a low-impedance path to ground from the moment it s mounted. This simplifies the wiring process for industrial contractors and guarantees that your installation meets the most stringent NEC and local building code requirements for equipment grounding and personnel safety.
  • The high-visibility plated copper blades provide a clear, unmistakable visual confirmation of the circuit status when the switch is in the "OFF" position. This critical safety feature, combined with the lockable handle that accepts up to three padlocks, provides maintenance crews with absolute certainty during Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, preventing accidental re-energization of dangerous equipment.
  • Enclosed in a rugged, gaskets-sealed NEMA 12 steel housing, this heavy-duty safety switch is engineered to prevent the ingress of dust, falling dirt, and non-corrosive dripping liquids. This robust construction makes it the ideal choice for manufacturing plants, mills, and indoor industrial sites where airborne contaminants or oil seepage would typically compromise standard electrical hardware.
