Description
The VH222BGL Heavy Duty Safety Switch from Schneider Electric is built to provide robust electrical control and protection for your operations. Designed for use in various applications, this switch features a 60A capacity and a reliable 2-pole configuration, making it ideal for managing power in commercial and industrial environments. It operates at 240V and is equipped with fuses that enhance its safety performance, all contained within a NEMA 1 enclosure suited for indoor use. This heavy-duty safety switch not only ensures efficient and secure operation but also helps maintain compliance with electrical safety regulations, reinforcing its essential role in any electrical system.
Features
- This 60A, 240V AC/250V DC single-throw switch comes fully equipped with a factory-installed solid neutral assembly that is pre-bonded to the NEMA 1 enclosure. Tested to meet the stringent safety requirements of CSA C22.2 No 4 and UL98 standards, it functions out of the box as a code-compliant service entrance disconnect, significantly streamlining your engineering approvals and cutting down on the field labor required to add third-party grounding or neutral kits.
- When paired with standard Class J fuses, this heavy-duty switch delivers an outstanding 200 kA short-circuit current rating (SCCR) to withstand massive electrical fault energies without destructive cabinet failure. The surface-mount steel enclosure comes configured for Class J fuses out of the box.
- Purpose-built for grueling, heavy-application environments, this Square D disconnect features a robust, quick-make, quick-break blade mechanism that delivers a mechanical operational lifespan. The high-visibility, color-coded indicator handle stands up to continuous physical cycling while providing clear at-a-glance status, ensuring crisp contact engagement and reducing terminal pitting over years of service on busy factory floors.
- The line and load terminals are equipped with rugged, factory-installed mechanical lugs that securely accommodate a wide wiring range from AWG 14 to AWG 3 copper, or AWG 12 to AWG 3 aluminum. Complete with a pre-installed equipment grounding kit and clearly specified torque ratings up to 50 lbf.in, the spacious enclosure layout ensures electrical contractors have plenty of knuckle room to route thick conductors and complete code-compliant terminations efficiently.
