The Schneider VCF01GE is a three-pole enclosed switch disconnector with a conventional enclosed thermal current of 16 A. It is designed for manual isolation and ON/OFF control of compatible electrical equipment. Its load-switching rating is 11 A at 400 VAC under AC-23A conditions, so current selection must account for the application category.
The TeSys Vario assembly features a red rotary handle on a yellow front plate for readily identifiable emergency switching and manual disconnection. The switch must be integrated into an appropriately engineered machine isolation or emergency switching system.
The handle can accommodate one to three padlocks with shackle diameters from 4 to 8 mm. This supports controlled access to the switch position and helps implement site-specific electrical isolation procedures.
The integrated enclosure carries an IP65 rating according to IEC 60529, providing protection against dust ingress and water jets under defined test conditions. Suitable cable entry components and correct installation are important for maintaining enclosure protection.
The switch has a rated operational voltage of 690 VAC and an 8 kV rated impulse withstand voltage. At 400 VAC, the manufacturer specifies 4 kW under AC-3 and 5.5 kW under AC-23 operating conditions.
The VCF01GE combines a manually operated three-pole disconnector, enclosure and rotary handle in one assembly. Screw clamp terminals accept suitable conductors, with a specified tightening torque of 2.1 N·m. The overall enclosure measures 146 × 90 × 131 mm.

What is the Schneider VCF01GE?
It is a Schneider Electric TeSys Vario enclosed emergency stop switch disconnector with three poles, a red rotary handle, yellow front plate, 16 A conventional enclosed thermal rating and IP65 protection.
Is the VCF01GE a circuit breaker?
No. It is a manually operated switch disconnector intended for electrical switching and isolation. It does not replace the protective functions of a correctly selected circuit breaker or fuse.
How many poles does the VCF01GE have?
The device has three poles, making it suitable for appropriate three-pole disconnection arrangements in compatible electrical installations.
What is the current rating?
The conventional enclosed thermal current is 16 A. The rated operational current is 11 A at 400 VAC under the AC-23A utilization category. These are different ratings and must not be treated as interchangeable.
What is the rated operational voltage?
The manufacturer specifies a rated operational voltage of 690 VAC and a rated impulse withstand voltage of 8 kV.
What motor power ratings are specified?
Schneider Electric lists 4 kW at 400 VAC under AC-3 and 5.5 kW at 400 VAC under AC-23 conditions. Selection depends on the load and applicable utilization category.
Can the rotary handle be padlocked?
Yes. The handle supports one to three padlocks with shackle diameters of 4 to 8 mm. Follow the site's lockout and electrical isolation procedures.
What is the environmental protection rating?
The VCF01GE enclosure is rated IP65 according to IEC 60529. Environmental suitability also depends on correct installation, cable entry sealing and exposure conditions.
Does this model include an enclosure and handle?
Yes. The VCF01GE is an enclosed assembly with a red rotary handle and yellow front plate. It should not be confused with a separate bare switch body or handle accessory.
What are the product dimensions?
The overall dimensions are 146 mm high, 90 mm wide and 131 mm deep. The handle front plate measures 60 × 60 mm.
What wire connections does the switch use?
It uses screw clamp terminals. The datasheet specifies conductor capacities up to 6 mm² for flexible cable with cable ends and up to 10 mm² for solid cable, with a tightening torque of 2.1 N·m.
Does the VCF01GE provide short-circuit protection?
No integrated overcurrent protection is specified. The manufacturer lists a conditional short-circuit current of 10 kA at 400 VAC when used with the specified associated 20 A aM or gG fuse. A suitable protective device must be provided according to the installation design.
Can the VCF01GE be used for emergency stopping?
Schneider Electric designates it as an enclosed emergency stop switch disconnector. Its suitability for a particular emergency switching or machine safety function depends on the applicable safety standard, risk assessment and complete circuit design.
What should be checked before ordering?
Confirm the exact VCF01GE model, three-pole arrangement, 16 A enclosed thermal rating, 11 A AC-23A operational current at 400 VAC, 690 VAC rated voltage, red and yellow rotary handle, padlocking provisions, IP65 enclosure, dimensions, terminal wiring and required circuit protection.
