- Description
The Schneider Electric VBF2 is a 3-pole TeSys VARIO switch-disconnector rated 40 A, built from a V2 switch body and a padlockable black handle on a 4-screw door-mounted base, for main motor switching up to 15 kW at 400 V AC-23. It carries IP65 protection once installed on the enclosure door.

Selection Notes
The VBF2 roughly doubles the motor power of the VBF0 (15 kW vs 7.5 kW at 400 V) in the same front-plate footprint, trading off against a higher terminal torque requirement and current rating — confirm panel busbar sizing before stepping up. Up to four add-on poles can be fitted two per side of the V2 body: a main pole (VZ2), neutral (VZ11), earthing (VZ14) or auxiliary contacts (VZ7, VZ20).
