Description
Engineered for robust performance in demanding environments, the heavy duty safety switch from Schneider Electric efficiently handles electrical distribution needs with a voltage rating of up to 600V and a current rating of 60A. This 3-pole device is designed to meet NEMA 12 standards, making it suitable for indoor applications where protection from dust and moisture is essential. With its compact design featuring a depth of just 7.164 inches, this switch provides a reliable solution for controlling power while ensuring safety in industrial and commercial settings.
Features
- Rated for 60A at up to 600V AC/DC, the VHU362AWKGL is designed for high-performance industrial applications, including a massive 50 hp rating at 480V (3-phase). This robust power capacity ensures reliable disconnection for heavy machinery and HVAC systems, providing a safe "line-of-sight" disconnect that meets stringent OSHA and NEC requirements.
- This "AWKGL" variant includes a factory-installed ground lug and a high-strength viewing window, allowing for safe visual inspection of the contact status while the door remains sealed. By minimizing the need to open the enclosure while the circuit is live, it enhances worker safety and simplifies routine preventative maintenance inspections in high-voltage areas.
- The spring-loaded operating mechanism enforces a rapid opening and closing of the contacts regardless of how fast the operator moves the handle. This "Quick-Make, Quick-Break" action ensures a clean break of the electrical arc, preventing pitting on the copper contacts and dramatically extending the mechanical and electrical life of the switch.
- This unit is UL Listed and far exceeds the endurance requirements of a standard General Duty switch, making it suitable for continuous-duty cycles and high-fault current systems (up to 200kA when used with Class R or J fuses). Choosing this heavy-duty model ensures your facility stays code-compliant and reduces long-term operational costs by avoiding premature equipment fatigue.
