Square D VC1GUN Enclosed Cam Disconnect Switch 3 Phase

Product Description

The SQUARE D VC1GUN is an enclosed cam disconnect switch designed for 3-phase electrical systems requiring a reliable means of isolating power at the load. Built with a polyvinylchloride (PVC) enclosure rated IP65 and NEMA 1 and 12, this switch resists dust and low-pressure water ingress, making it suitable for indoor industrial and commercial environments. It features 3 poles to handle all three phases simultaneously during lockout or maintenance operations. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians install this switch as a local disconnect point for motors, HVAC equipment, and other 3-phase loads. Compliance with UL 508, UL Listed status, IEC 60947-4-1, and CSA certifications makes it appropriate for a broad range of panel and machinery applications.

The VC1GUN is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings where a code-compliant, enclosed disconnect is required adjacent to 3-phase motor-driven equipment. Typical installations include HVAC rooftop units, air handlers, pump panels, and industrial machinery requiring a manual means of disconnect. The IP65 rating supports use in locations where the enclosure may be exposed to washdown or heavy dust. It is well-suited for surface-mount installations in mechanical rooms and equipment rooms where NEMA 12 protection is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the upstream circuit before mounting or wiring the disconnect switch. Verify that the enclosure mounting surface is clean and flat to maintain the IP65 ingress protection seal. Do not exceed the switch's rated operating parameters as defined on the nameplate and product documentation.
