VBII Safety Switches A safety switch is a type of enclosed switch. Fusible safety
switches include provisions for fuses, non-fusible safety switches
do not. Siemens VBII safety switches are available in general
duty, heavy duty, and double throw designs.
A common use for a single throw safety switch is to provide a
disconnecting means and fault protection for a motor circuit.
A double throw safety switch, on the other hand, is used to
transfer a load from one power source to another or to connect
a single power source to either of two loads.
General duty VBII switches are intended for applications where
reliable performance is needed, but duty requirements are not
severe, and voltage ratings above 240 VAC are not required.
General duty VBII switches are available with continuous current
ratings from 30 to 600 amps.
Heavy duty VBII switches provide the rugged construction
needed for more severe applications and are available with
voltage ratings up to 600 V AC or DC and continuous current
ratings from 30 to 1200 A.
