First introduced in 1907, Square D™ brand safety switches have a long history of leadership in safety and performance. The new VisiPacT heavy duty safety switch takes all the trusted features such as the switching mechanism and adds new, standard features such as a viewing window, hook stick handle, QR code for quick access to information, touch safe barriers, and more.

VisiPacT safety switches are the newest generation of Square D heavy duty safety switches, a product line first introduced in 1907. They keep the same trusted switching mechanism. In addition, each switch now comes standard with a viewing window, touch-safe barriers and a QR code for quick access to product information. The ergonomic handle also accommodates a hook stick.
At CED Sarasota, we help contractors, facility teams and equipment builders choose the right configuration for service entrance, motor disconnect and branch circuit applications. For the complete product range, see Schneider Electric’s heavy duty safety switch catalog.
Every feature on a VisiPacT switch has one job: to make isolating power safer and simpler. As a result, crews can confirm switch status faster and maintain equipment with fewer steps.
Verify switch position through the standard viewing window without opening the door.
Barriers help prevent accidental contact with live parts. The NEC requires them for service entrance applications.
The position-indicating handle is easy to read from an angle or a distance. Most models also include a hook stick loop.
Scan the QR code on the switch to pull up product information on the spot, right at the equipment.
The extruded lock plate accepts up to three padlocks, which helps crews meet OSHA lockout requirements.
Thanks to the modular design, worn interior parts, handles and lock plates can be replaced in the field.
Durability is built in, too. According to the VisiPacT brochure, 30 to 100 A switches are rated for 50,000 mechanical operations. By comparison, the NEMA KS 1 heavy duty requirement is 15,000 operations at 30 and 60 A. Meanwhile, single-throw Type 3R and 12 enclosures use galvannealed steel, and Type 4X enclosures are seam-welded for corrosion protection.
Safety switches isolate power during routine maintenance. They also provide an effective way to interrupt power in an emergency. For that reason, Schneider Electric highlights three key applications.
A disconnect at the service entrance, with touch-safe barriers and factory-bonded neutral options.
A lockout disconnect within sight of motors and driven equipment, built to break heavy motor loads.
Fused switches that isolate and protect individual branch circuits across a facility.
Typical markets include industrial plants, construction, water and wastewater, data centers, automotive, packaging, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, retail and commercial OEM equipment.
Our counter at 2460 12th Street in Sarasota can help you match amperage, voltage, poles and enclosure type to the job. We can also help you source field-installable accessories, such as neutral kits, ground lugs, Class R fuse rejection kits and conduit hubs.

Closed Captioning
Closed captioning provides a transcript for the audio track of a video presentation that is synchronized with the video and audio tracks. Captions are generally visually displayed over the video, which benefits people who are deaf and hard of hearing, and anyone who cannot hear the audio due to noisy environments. Most of our website’s video content includes automated captions. Learn how to turn captioning on and off in YouTube.
Volume Controls
Your computer, tablet, or mobile device has volume control features. Each video and audio service has its own additional volume controls. Try adjusting both your device’s volume controls and your media players’ volume controls to optimize your listening experience.
