VARIO Loadbreak Switches

VARIO™ Loadbreak Switches act as enclosure disconnects when short circuit protection is provided upstream of the switch (if short circuit protection is not provided upstream, use Class 9421 Type N, Class 9422 Type T, and D10 disconnect switches). VARIO switches are UL Listed as manual motor controllers.

Non-Metallic Enclosures
The VARIO Loadbreak Switch is also offered as an enclosed switch, which is made of corrosion resistant material suitable for IP55 environments. The 3-pole version makes the VARIO Loadbreak Switch ideal for manual motor control applications. They are compact, easy to wire and connect, and come undrilled to allow variable cable entry positions. Note that these enclosures do not pass the UL Burn Test, which means that these versions are not UL Listed.

Metallic Enclosures
The V1and V2 come in metallic enclosures (NEMA Type 1, 4, 4X, and 12). The NEMA Type 1 is supplied with conduit knockouts top and bottom. A VZ7 auxiliary contact can be factory installed in these metallic enclosures by adding Form X11 to the catalog number. A VZ20 auxiliary contact can be factory installed in these enclosures by adding Form X20 to the catalog number. Two V27 auxiliary contacts may be factory installed by adding Form X22 (2 N.O. and 2 N.C.).
