VH361N - 30A, 600V, Heavy-Duty, Fusible, Safety Switch

VH361N – a rugged 30A, 600V fusible safety switch engineered for dependable on/off isolation and precise overcurrent protection in demanding industrial and commercial settings. This heavy‑duty safety switch blends compact design with straightforward maintenance, delivering a reliable disconnect point while safeguarding motors, panelboards, and branch circuits.

Why the VH361N stands out

• Integrated fusible protection: Combines safe isolation with current‑limiting protection in a single unit, helping to quickly contain faults and reduce arc energy.
• Compact, maintainable design: A space‑savvy solution that’s easy to install, service, and replace fuse elements, minimizing downtime during maintenance.
• Rugged, dependable performance: Built to endure the demands of active industrial and commercial environments where reliable disconnection matters.
• Clear problem‑solving role: Ideal for installations that require a dedicated motor disconnect, reliable panelboard protection, and secure branch circuit isolation.

Ideal applications

• Motor disconnects in MCCs and equipment rooms
• Panelboards requiring a compact fusible disconnect for added protection
• Branch circuit protection where a readily serviceable, fusible safety switch is preferred

How it works

The VH361N serves a dual purpose: it provides a safe, obvious isolation point for maintenance and personnel, and it offers fusible protection that interrupts fault current before damage propagates. When a fuse element blows, the circuit is quickly opened, and replacing the fuse restores protective capability without sacrificing system safety. This combination helps keep critical electrical systems running smoothly with minimal risk to operators and equipment.
