To control the switching on or off of circuits, Schneider Electric offers in its TeSys Vario range, the VBF2 switch-disconnector. This switch-disconnector, controlled by an emergency O/C rotary button, allows different configurations: mounting in panel front, at the bottom of the box, directly on the chassis For optimal security, the rotary control can receive one to three padlocks (not supplied) Any involuntary manipulation will thus be prevented, making it possible to guarantee the recording of the installations This switch -disconnector, 20 A rating, 3 poles, works on both direct and alternating current powered circuits. Its poles can receive flexible or rigid wires with a section of 6 mm² (for flexible) and 10 mm² (for rigid) In the case of flexible wires, they must be crimped with cable ferrules Compact and robust, this switch-disconnector embodies the reliability of the TeSys Vario range Specifications Main range TeSys Product name TeSys VARIO device name VCF Product type Emergency stop switch-disconnector Complementary Device composition Handle Isolator switch Mounting bracket Door knob Switch: door Mounting method Using 4 screws for handle Performance level High performance Number of poles 3P Contact type and composition 3 “F” IEC rated operating voltage [Ue] 690 V AC 50/60 Hz Rated operating power in W IEC 7.5 kW at 500 V (AC-3) 11 kW at 690 V (AC-23A) 3 kW at 230...240 V (AC-3) 4 kW at 400...415 V (AC-3) 7.5 kW at 500 V (AC-23A) 5.5 kW at 690 V (AC-3) 4 kW at 230...240 V (AC-23A) 5.5 kW at 400...415 V (AC-23A) Rated operational current [Ie] 11 A AC-23 Ue: 400 V Conventional open air thermal current [Ith] 20 A Conventional closed thermal current [Ithe] 16 A Closing power (I Rms) 200 A to 400 V AC-21A 200 A to 400 V AC-22A 200 A to 400 V AC-23A Breaking capacity 200 A at 400 V (AC-21A) 200 A at 400 V (AC-22A) 200 A at 400 V (AC-23A) Rated conditional short circuit current 10 kA at 400 V - associated fuse 20 A aM 10 kA at 400 V - associated fuse 20 A gG Rated short circuit closing capacity [Icm] 1 kA at 400 V at I peak Rated short-term admissible current [Icw] 300 A at 400 V duration: 1 s Rated impulse withstand voltage [Uimp] 8 kV Ability to isolate Yes Network type AC DC Intermittent service class 30 Control type Rotary handle Rotary Handle Mounting Style Direct Handle color Red Handle faceplate color Yellow Padlocking of the rotary handle 1 to 3 padlocks 4…8 mm Marking 0 - 1 Mechanical durability 100,000 cycles Electrical sustainability 100000 cycles AC-21 30000 cycle DC-1 to 5 IEC connection terminals Power circuit: screw clamp terminal blocks 10 mm² cable - cable stiffness: rigid Power circuit: screw clamp terminal blocks 6 mm² cable - cable stiffness: flexible - with end cap Tightening torque Power circuit: 2.1 N.m - on screw-clamp terminals Basic dimension 60 x 60 mm Height 74mm Width 60mm Product weight 0.25 kg
