Square D VLSH2S5B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What mounting footprint does the Square D TeSys VLS protruding rotary handle disconnect switch need in the panel?
It mounts on a 65 x 65 mm base using a 4-screw fixing pattern, torqued to 2.3 N.m. Lay out your subpanel for that footprint plus clearance for the handle, and use the stated torque on all four screws so the base stays rigid when the handle is turned.
2) Can the TeSys VLS rotary handle be padlocked for lockout/tagout?
Yes. The rotary handle accepts 1 to 3 padlocks with a 4 to 8 mm shackle diameter, and it carries OFF-ON / 0-1 position marking so the open state is unambiguous for a LOTO tag. Check your padlock shackle gauge against that 4-8 mm window before standardizing a plant lock set on it.
3) Is this Square D disconnect rated for an outdoor or washdown enclosure?
Rated to NEMA 1, 2, 3R, 4, 4X, 12 and 12K under UL 508, so it suits outdoor rain-tight and hosedown or washdown enclosures as well as standard indoor panels. The rating applies to the switch and handle as installed in a suitable enclosure.
4) Is the TeSys VLS a fusible disconnect or non-fusible?
The TeSys VLS is a rotary disconnect switch for isolation, not a fuse holder. If the design calls for branch-circuit fusing inside the disconnect, look at a UL 98 fusible unit such as the Bussmann CCP2-1-30CC, a 30A single-pole Class CC fusible disconnect switch. For a straight non-fusible rotary in three pole, the Eaton R5 Series 600V non-fusible rotary disconnect is the comparable alternative.
5) What is the closest alternative to the Square D TeSys VLS rotary disconnect switch if I need a three-pole rotary disconnect rated 600V?
The Eaton R5 Series non-fusible three-pole rotary disconnect switch is rated 600V and is the closest rotary-operated alternative. The TeSys VLS family covers 16A to 125A ratings on a 65 x 65 mm four-screw base with a padlockable protruding rotary handle; the Eaton R5 is a non-fusible three-pole rotary unit. Confirm pole count and amperage against your panel schedule, since the VLS range spans multiple ratings.
6) I need branch circuit fusing in the disconnect - does the Square D TeSys VLS do that, or is there a fusible option?
The Square D TeSys VLS protruding rotary handle switch is a disconnect switch, not a fused unit. If you need integral fusing, the Bussmann CCP2-1-30CC is a UL98 fusible disconnect switch rated 30A single-pole for Class CC fuses. Note that is a single-pole 30A device, so it will not replace a three-phase disconnect in a motor feeder; use it for single-pole branch protection.
7) What amperage does the TeSys VLS VLS3P range cover?
The family spans 16A through 125A, all on the same 65 x 65 mm base with compatibility code VLS. That lets a panel builder keep one mounting pattern and one handle style across several current ratings on a machine, which is the usual reason to spec this range rather than mixing switch styles.
8) What does the protruding rotary handle version give me versus a flush or door-mounted handle?
The protruding handle is a reduced-thickness design with the operator standing off the front plate, which suits tight panel layouts where depth behind the door is at a premium. The handle is black with a grey front plate, and the handles are made with multiple hole patterns so one style adapts to different panel configurations.
9) What model number do I order for the 65x65 mm TeSys VLS protruding rotary handle?
The part number is Square D VLSH2S5B. VLSH is the device short name for this handle family, and the switch bases it pairs with are the TeSys VARIO LS VLS3P range on the same 65 x 65 mm pattern.
10) For a simple 600V three-pole manual disconnect in a control panel, what is an alternative to the Square D TeSys VLS?
The Bryant 30103D from the 103D Series is a 600V three-pole manual disconnect switch and is a straightforward option where a manual disconnect is all the panel needs. The Square D TeSys VLS differs in that it is built around a protruding rotary handle that accepts 1 to 3 padlocks with 4 to 8 mm shackles for lockout/tagout, and it carries UL 508 listing with NEMA 1, 2, 3R, 4, 4X, 12 and 12K ratings for washdown and outdoor enclosures. Pick based on whether you need the padlockable rotary operator and those enclosure ratings.
11) My panel is a washdown environment - which disconnect should I use, the Square D TeSys VLS or the Eaton R5?
The Square D TeSys VLS protruding rotary handle disconnect switch is rated NEMA 1, 2, 3R, 4, 4X, 12 and 12K under UL 508, which covers outdoor and washdown enclosure duty, and it is UL and CSA certified. The Eaton R5 Series unit is a non-fusible three-pole rotary disconnect rated 600V. If the enclosure rating is the deciding factor, match the device to the NEMA type called out on your drawing.
12) Is the TeSys VLS suitable for a solar or mining control panel, or is it just HVAC and pumps?
It is specified for material handling, HVAC, pumping, solar energy and mining equipment, plus general industrial and commercial control panels. The NEMA 4X rating is what makes the outdoor solar and washdown mining cases workable where a NEMA 1 only switch would not be.
13) Where is the Square D TeSys VLS disconnect made, and is it CSA accepted for Canadian jobs?
Manufactured in Italy, and it carries both UL and CSA certification along with UL 508 listing, so it can be specified on Canadian as well as US panel builds.
