Square D VCF01GE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Square D TeSys Vario VCF3 mount on the front of my enclosure door?
Yes, the VCF3 is built for door mounting and fixes with 4 screws on the handle. The red and yellow rotary operator is sealed to IP65, so it can sit on the door front in wet or dusty panel locations. That makes it a front-of-panel on/off and emergency-stop actuator rather than an interior DIN-rail or base-mount switch.
2) Which Motor FLA rating of the TeSys Vario VCF3 do I order for my motor?
The VCF3 switch-disconnector comes in two Motor FLA ratings: 16A (VCF01GE) and 63A (VCF3). Pick the one that covers the full-load amps on your motor nameplate. The device's rated operational current is 41.5 A AC-23 at 400V, and the family is sized for motor duty up to 22kW at 400V AC-23.
3) Is the TeSys Vario VCF3 fused, or do I still need upstream protection?
It is a non-fusible switch-disconnector, so short-circuit protection has to come from upstream. Its rated conditional short-circuit current is 10 kA at 400V when protected by 63A gG/aM fuses, with short-time withstand Icw of 756 A at 400V for 1 second. If you want the fuse holder and switch in one body instead, a fusible unit like the Bussmann CCP2-1-30CC (UL98, 30A single-pole, Class CC) is a different approach for small single-pole branch circuits.
4) Is the Square D VCF3 UL Listed for use in a North American control panel?
Yes, UL Listed, and also carrying CSA, CCC, UKCA and GL approvals, with construction conforming to IEC 60947-3.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Square D TeSys Vario VCF3 from another manufacturer?
The nearest peer is the Eaton R5A3016U, a non-fusible three-pole rotary disconnect switch rated 600V. Like the VCF3, it is a three-pole non-fusible rotary disconnect for panel use. The VCF3 differs in that it is rated 690V AC and built to IEC 60947-3, with a red door-mount operator handle and a Motor FLA selection of 16A or 63A; the Eaton unit is specified at 600V. If the panel drawing calls out an IEC 60947-3 switch-disconnector with an emergency-stop style red and yellow handle, the VCF3 is the match.
6) I need a fused disconnect instead of a non-fused one - what should I use in place of the TeSys VCF3?
The VCF3 is a non-fusible switch-disconnector, so overcurrent protection has to come from upstream devices. If you need the fuse and the switch in one device, the Bussmann CCP2-1-30CC is a UL98 fusible disconnect switch, 30A single-pole, taking Class CC fuses. Note the difference in pole count: the VCF3 is three-pole for a three-phase motor circuit, while the CCP2-1-30CC is single-pole, so a three-phase feeder would need three of them or a three-pole version of that series.
7) What wire size will the VCF3 terminals accept, and what is the screw torque?
Power circuit screw clamp terminals on the VCF3 take 25-25 mm2 solid conductors or 16-16 mm2 conductors, tightened to 4-4 N.m. Size your feeder and load leads to that window before you terminate.
8) Is the Eaton DHR5 handle a substitute for the handle on the Square D VCF3?
No. The Eaton DHR5 is a direct handle accessory for Eaton R9 Series rotary disconnect switches - it is an operator handle only, not a switch. The VCF3 is a complete three-pole switch-disconnector that already includes its red door-mount rotary operator with four-screw fixing, and its listed accessory reference is VZ9. Use the Eaton handle only with the Eaton rotary switch bodies it is built for.
9) For a simple 600V three-pole manual disconnect that does not need an emergency-stop handle, what else can I use besides the VCF3?
The Bryant 30103D, from the 103D Series, is a 600V three-pole manual disconnect switch and covers straightforward manual isolation duty. The Square D TeSys Vario VCF3 is aimed at on and emergency-stop switching of motor circuits, with an IP65 red and yellow rotary operator sized for door-front mounting and a Motor FLA selection of 16A or 63A. If the circuit needs a load-side emergency stop at the enclosure door, choose the VCF3; for plain manual disconnection, the Bryant is the simpler device.
10) How many operations will the VCF3 handle before it needs replacing?
Electrical life is rated at 30,000 cycles AC-21 and 30,000 cycles DC-1...5, with an intermittent duty class of 30. That suits a disconnect that gets thrown daily or used as a routine emergency stop, not just an annual maintenance isolator.
11) Are there accessories available for the TeSys Vario VCF3?
VZ9 accessories are listed for the VCF3. The switch itself ships as a 3-pole door-mount unit with its red handle and 4-screw fixing; anything beyond that, including auxiliary contact blocks or extended shafts, is an added item to specify with the order.
