Square D VC5GUN Enclosed Cam Disconnect Switch 3 Phase

Product Description

The SQUARE D VC5GUN is an enclosed cam disconnect switch rated for 3-phase, 3-pole electrical service. It provides a manual means of isolating power to motors, machinery, and industrial equipment. The enclosure is constructed from polyvinylchloride (PVC) and carries an IP65 ingress protection rating, making it suitable for environments where dust and water jets are a concern. The unit meets multiple standards including UL 508, UL Listed, CSA 22.2, CSA Certified, IEC 60204, and IEC 60947-4-1, and carries a NEMA 1 and NEMA 12 rating. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this switch.

This cam disconnect switch is designed for use in commercial and industrial applications where a reliable, code-compliant disconnect point is required. Typical installations include motor control panels, conveyor systems, pump stations, and manufacturing equipment requiring lockout-tagout capable disconnects. Its PVC enclosure and IP65 rating make it well suited for light industrial environments where the enclosure may be exposed to dust or incidental liquid contact. The NEMA 12 rating further confirms its suitability for indoor locations with non-corrosive coolants and dust.
