Square D VCF5 Cam Disconnect Switch Fused 690VAC 3-pole

Product Description

The SQUARE D VCF5 is a fused, enclosed cam disconnect switch rated for 690 volts AC service. It features a 3-pole, 3-wire configuration with 3NO (normally open) contacts, making it suitable for isolating three-phase electrical circuits during service or maintenance. The unit ships with an integrated handle and carries ratings for NEMA 1 and NEMA 12 enclosures, along with an IP20 and IP65 ingress protection rating. Overall dimensions are 4.92 inches in height and 3.54 inches in width. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this type of disconnect switch.

The VCF5 is applied in commercial and industrial settings where a lockable, fused disconnect point is required ahead of motors, HVAC equipment, compressors, or other three-phase loads. The enclosed housing protects internal components from dust and incidental contact in typical indoor or protected outdoor panel environments. Its NEMA 12 rating makes it appropriate for locations subject to dust, falling dirt, and dripping non-corrosive liquids.

• NEMA 1 and NEMA 12 enclosure ratings for general-purpose and dust-protected environments
• IP20 and IP65 ingress protection ratings
• Includes integrated operating handle
• Certified to CSA, GL, IEC 60947-3, and UL standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fused cam disconnect switch for three-phase commercial and industrial electrical distribution applications requiring 690VAC-rated isolation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the upstream circuit before mounting or wiring the disconnect. Verify that upstream fusing and wire gauge are properly sized for the connected load before energizing. Do not exceed the 690VAC voltage rating of the switch.
