Cam switches

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive technical information on the VN series cam switches, which are hand-operated and versatile, offering a wide range of applications. The series includes seven construction sizes: V2N, V3N, VN 32, VN 50, VN 80, VN 125, and VN 200.
Specifications: Each cam switch features a contact chamber with a cam wheel for functional control, containing two double interrupting contacts. These switches are developed and tested according to standards such as VDE, DIN, IEC, and UL, and comply with the EC Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EG.
Approvals: The switches have various international approvals. Scandinavian countries and Switzerland no longer require specific approvals. For shipbuilding, compliance with ship classification societies' regulations is necessary, and they are approved by German Lloyd. In North America, they are classified as industrial control equipment and are UL approved.
Conformity and CE Marking: The products conform to European low-voltage guidelines and relevant standards. Since 1997, CE marking is mandatory for products sold in the EU, indicating compliance with the low voltage directive, allowing free trade within the EU.
Technical Information: VN switches are primarily designed for alternating current and are not suitable for direct current in their standard form. They can be adapted for DC use by connecting multiple contacts in series. Detailed technical data on DC switching capacity is provided, including the number of contacts required based on current, voltage, and inductivity.
Utilization Categories: The document outlines utilization categories for AC switches as defined in VDE regulations and EN 60947, detailing permissible values and typical applications for each category.
Technical Data: Detailed specifications for each switch size include rated insulating voltage, impulse voltage rigidity, permanent current, connectable cross-sections, terminal screws, short-circuit protection, and switching capacity under various conditions.
Dimensions and Special Solutions: References are made to pages for dimension drawings and special solutions, indicating the availability of various configurations and mounting options.
Design and Installation: The cam switches feature buried terminal clamps accessible from the rear, allowing side-by-side placement or adjacency to cable channels. They offer quick mounting through a two-point front fixing system. Various executions and functions are available upon request.
Technical Specifications: The switches comply with EN IEC 60947 standards. Key specifications include AC-21 A/B load break switches with a rated operating voltage of 690 V~ and a permanent current of 25 A. Mechanical lifetime is 300,000 operating cycles. Approvals include certification by USA Germ. Lloyd and CSA/USA.
Cam Switches D1: Details on D1 cam switches include single, double, and triple pole on-off switches, change-over switches, and voltmeter and ammeter change-over switches. Specifications include a rated insulating voltage of 690 V~, short-circuit protection with a maximum of 35 A, and compliance with isolator requirements up to 480 V.
Cam Switches V3L: These switches have a compact design with three contact systems per chamber, reducing installation depth. They are suitable for applications with one-direction terminal access. Specifications include a rated operating current of 20 A and voltage of 500 V~, protection class IP X2, and compliance with VDE 0106 part 100.
Cam Switches V1D: These switches have three separate contact systems in one chamber, each controlled by a separate cam wheel. They offer a rated operating current of 20 A and voltage of 500 V~, with max connectible cross sections of 2.5 mm².
Additional Features: The document includes dimensions, panel drilling instructions, and specific construction features for different switch models, emphasizing reduced construction size and enhanced safety features like finger protection.

VN series Technische Informationen Technical information VN-Schalter sind handbetätigte Nockenschalter größter Anwen dungsbreite und praktisch unbegrenzter Schaltungsmöglichkeit. Die Grundeinheit des Nockenschalters bildet die Kontaktkammer mit dem Nockenrad zur Funktionssteuerung. Jede Kammer enthält 2 doppelt unterbrechende Kontakte, wobei die beweglichen Kon taktbrücken über die Kontaktschieber vom Nockenrad gesteuert werden. Die Öffnung der Kontakte erfolgt zwangsläufig. VN-Schalter sind deshalb universell verwendbar und können als Steuerschalter, Instrumentenschalter, Motorschalter und Haupt...

VN-Reihe VN series Technische Informationen Technical information VN-Schalter sind Wechselstrom-Schaltgeräte und in ihrer Normal ausführung für Gleichstrom nicht geeignet, weil die Kontaktöff nungswege und die Schaltgeschwindigkeit für Gleichstrom zu klein sind. Bei stromloser Trennung der Kontakte ist eine Strom belastbarkeit entsprechend der untenstehenden Tabelle möglich. Dazu ist es allerdings erforderlich, dass z. B. ein Gleichstrom chütz s die Schaltleistung übernimmt. Trotzdem können die Geräte für Gleichstrom verwendet werden, wenn genügend Kontakte in Reihe geschaltet werden. VN switches...
