Square D VCFN12GE Cam Disconnect Switch 8.1A 690VAC

Product Description

The SQUARE D VCFN12GE is a fused, enclosed cam disconnect switch rated for 8.1 amps at 690 volts AC. It provides a manual means of disconnecting power to motor loads and other electrical equipment in industrial and commercial installations. The three-pole, three-wire configuration makes it suitable for standard three-phase circuits. Built to an IP55 ingress protection rating, the enclosure resists dust and water jets, making it appropriate for demanding environments. Electricians and industrial maintenance technicians install this switch as part of motor branch circuit protection and lockout/tagout compliance. It carries UL, CSA, GL, and IEC 60947-4-1 certifications.

This cam disconnect switch is used in commercial and light industrial settings where a fused, enclosed manual disconnect is required ahead of motor starters, HVAC equipment, or process machinery. The IP55 rating suits indoor and semi-protected outdoor locations where exposure to moisture or dust is a factor. The compact enclosed housing allows for panel or wall mounting in tight electrical rooms or machine-side installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements and local codes. Disconnect and lock out all upstream power before handling or wiring this switch. Verify that the circuit amperage and voltage do not exceed the 8.1-amp, 690-volt AC ratings of this device. Confirm fuse sizing meets the requirements of the connected load and branch circuit protection rules before energizing.
