New Original Schneider V02C TeSys VARIO 3-Pole Switch Disconnector
1. Product Overview
This is a 3-pole isolator with conventional thermal current of 12 A, applicable for three-phase AC power circuits up to 690 V. It serves as the main power cut-off component for small fan units, water pumps, machine tools, HVAC equipment and small automation control boxes. After assembling VARIO series door-mounted rotary handles (such as KAD series), it realizes external cabinet door operation and Lockout-Tagout safety locking function. It adopts compact modular structure, supports back panel screw fixing inside enclosures, and can be combined with various extension shafts and padlockable handles to adapt to different cabinet depths. With visible contact isolation gaps and excellent breaking performance, it complies with international isolation switch safety specifications, widely used for circuit maintenance power cut-off and general load switching in indoor industrial environments.
2. Main Functions
- Complete Electrical Isolation for Circuit Maintenance
When switched to OFF position, a distinct visible contact gap is formed inside the switch body, thoroughly disconnecting three-phase power supply for downstream loads. It eliminates residual voltage risks during equipment overhaul, fully meeting industrial maintenance isolation safety requirements.
- Manual Load On/Off Switching Control
Matched with external rotary operating handles, it completes manual switching of resistive and inductive loads within rated current range under normal working conditions, acting as the main power switch for small industrial equipment.
- Adaptable LOTO Safety Locking Matching
Compatible with KAD, KCD series padlockable rotary handles; the OFF position can be locked by multiple padlocks to prevent accidental switch closure and unintended energization during maintenance operations.
- Short-Time Withstand Current & Fuse Coordination Protection
It can withstand short-time fault current and coordinate with external backup fuses to limit short-circuit damage to the switch body, ensuring stable performance under transient power grid faults.
- Universal Accessory Expandability
Supports installation of auxiliary contact blocks for switch ON/OFF status signal feedback; optional extension drive shafts adapt to deep electrical cabinet installation demands.
- Finger-Safe Internal Protection Structure
IP20 protection grade prevents accidental touch of internal live conductive parts inside cabinets, avoiding electric shock hazards during routine inspection.
