Square D VCD2 Cam Disconnect Switch 690VAC 3 Pole

Product Description

The SQUARE D VCD2 is a 3-pole, enclosed, fused cam disconnect switch rated at 690 volts AC. It is designed for use in industrial electrical distribution and motor circuit applications where a reliable means of isolation and overcurrent protection is required at the point of service. The switch features a 3NO contact configuration across 3 wires and 3 poles, making it suitable for three-phase load disconnection. It ships with an integrated handle and carries dual ingress protection ratings of IP20 and IP65, supporting both standard and wash-down or dust-tight enclosure environments. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This cam disconnect switch is used in enclosed industrial and commercial electrical panels, machine control circuits, and motor branch circuits requiring a fused disconnect. Its NEMA 1 and NEMA 12 ratings make it appropriate for general indoor use as well as environments where protection against dust and dripping non-corrosive liquids is needed. The compact overall dimensions of 2.91 inches in height and 2.36 inches in width allow installation in tight enclosure configurations. The unit meets multiple international standards, broadening its applicability across domestic and export equipment builds.

Installation Notes

Installation should 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 circuit per LOTO procedures before handling or mounting the switch. Verify that the enclosure rating selected (NEMA 1 or NEMA 12 as applicable) matches the installation environment prior to mounting. Confirm that upstream fuse sizing is appropriate for the connected load before restoring power.
