Overview
Schneider Electric TeSys VLS Series – 16–125 A, 3, 6 & 8 Pole Version, UL98 and UL60947-4-1 Disconnect Switches & Accessories:
The TeSys VLS offer consist of UL 98 non-fusible disconnect switches from 63 to 125A and UL 508 motor disconnect switches from 16 to 60A. The three-pole 16–63 A disconnect switches are made up of a single unit body, a mere 36 mm (1.4 in.) wide, while those rated 63–125 A are only 70 mm (2.8 in.) wide. All VLS disconnect switches are certified by cCSAus and are UL Listed for Canada and USA. The 16–63 A types are certified according to UL60947-4-1/CSA 22.2 n° 60947-4-1-14 while the 63–125 A types to UL98/CSA 22.2 n° 4 standards. A mechanical coupling system is available for the 16–125 A disconnect switches for DIN rail mounting, to allow for 6- or 8-pole disconnectors, along with a mechanical interlock mechanism for the line changeover function (I – O – II).

3 Pole Features Overview:
Side Mount Add-on Fourth Pole:
Simultaneous or early-make contact operation of the fourth pole with respect to the disconnect switch poles.
Add-on Auxiliary Contacts:
One add-on block suitable for use with all eight ratings of disconnect switches, having simultaneous operation with the switch poles. Includes versions with an early-break NO contact.
Maximum Combinations:
On each disconnect switch, mount up to four auxiliary contacts, or three auxiliary contacts plus a fourth pole (two blocks on the right and two on the left). The ground and neutral terminals and fuse holder can also be added.
IP65 Padlockable Handles:
Offers a wide range of selector or pistol grip handles, with screw or ring (hole) mounting. All handles are equipped with a built-in padlockable mechanism. VLSH2H5R selector handles snap onto the 16–40 A door-mounting disconnect switches with no need for tools.
Handle Adapability:
The predrilled mounting holes in the front handle plate make it easier to replace disconnect switches in the field without additional drilling.
Defeatable UL60947-4-1 Handle Version:
UL60947-4-1 standards require internal panel inspection by authorized personnel, with power applied. For rear mounting devices, selector and lever handles are available with a UL60947-4-1 feature as part of the operating handle, to provide a defeat function when the disconnect switch is closed (that is, in the On position).
6 & 8 Pole Features Overview:
Fuse Holders:
A three-pole fuse holder can be added to 16–32 A disconnect switches for DIN rail mounting, to provide a single compact unit. The fuse can be accessed only when the disconnector is in the OFF position. Fuses: UL listed, 30 A, Class CC.
Reduced Handle Thickness:
VLSH1S5R and VLSH1S5B handles are only 23 mm (0.9 in.) thick.
Switch Status Indication:
The open or closed state of the switch is clearly visible at a distance thanks to the simple and modern design of the handle.
DIN Rail Mounting:
The disconnect switch is mounted and removed from the 35 mm (IEC/EN 60715) DIN rail by simply pressing it downward, with no need for tools.
Slide-Resistant Rubber Insert:
A rubber insert helps prevent the disconnect switches from sliding on the DIN rail, even when they are out of tolerance or mounted vertically.
Terminal Adaptability:
Terminals can accept solid or stranded wire in either metric or AWG sizes. They can withstand high tightening torques as specified on the device.
High IEC Capability in AC23:
Offers high rated currents (Ie) in AC23 at 690 VAC
Modularity:
The disconnect switches can be mounted in modular panels.
