Description
Schneider Electric's Square D heavy duty safety switch is designed to be tough, reliable and provide exceptional performance in the most grueling conditions. They have been designed to have a significantly higher durability than a standard switch and have a durability three times greater than NEMA standard making it ideal for all your commercial and industrial needs. All heavy duty safety switches feature a quick-make, quick-break operating mechanism, a dual cover interlock, and a color coded indicator handle. This three blade fusible heavy duty safety switch that is rated at 100A with a voltage 600 VAC and 600 VDC. This fusible disconnect has a short circuit rating of either 10kA or 200kA depending on fuses used. This switch is Type 1 rated with a steel enclosure and comes with factory installed viewing window. The device accepts H,K,R fuse types as shipped and can be field modified for J fuses, unit is surface mounted. The safety switch has a 3-wire configuration of 3 poles but a solid neutral can be installed in the field using solid neutral kit. The disconnect comes with factory installed equipment ground lugs. The wire range for this switch is AWG 12...AWG 1/0 aluminium and AWG 14...AWG 1/0 copper. All heavy duty safety switches are tested per UL98 and NEMA KS1 standards and listed in the UL files E2875 and E154828.
Features
- The VH363GL is a 100-Amp, 3-pole, 600V AC heavy-duty safety switch designed to serve as a high-performance disconnect for industrial motors and power circuits. Engineered for frequent operation, it provides a visible "gap" when the blades are open, offering the highest level of safety for maintenance personnel working on downstream machinery.
- Part of the new Schneider Electric Square D VisiPact line, this switch features a specialized viewing window. This allows operators to visually verify that the high-conductivity copper blades have physically disconnected from the source without opening the enclosure, significantly reducing the risk of Arc Flash exposure during routine safety checks.
- This unit is housed in a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, which is designed primarily for indoor use in commercial and industrial settings. It protects the internal components from dust, dirt, and light splashing, making it the standard choice for manufacturing floors, mechanical rooms, and warehouses where weatherproofing is not required.
- The "GL" designation confirms that this switch comes factory-installed with a Grounding Lug kit. This simplifies the installation process for electricians by providing a dedicated, code-compliant termination point for the equipment grounding conductor, ensuring a low-impedance path to ground and improved system safety.
- This is a fusible safety switch, meaning it utilizes three internal fuses (sold separately) to provide overcurrent and short-circuit protection. When paired with high-interrupting Class R or Class J fuses, the VH363GL can achieve a Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) of up to 200,000 Amps, shielding sensitive industrial equipment from catastrophic electrical failure.
