Schneider Electric 60A 3-Pole Weatherproof Non-Fusible Disconnect - Model RCD5636
The Schneider Electric RCD5636 is a 60A, 3-pole non-fusible safety switch built for professional electricians and contractors who need a reliable, weatherproof disconnect for outdoor electrical equipment. Rated at 600VAC/VDC and housed in a Type 3R stainless steel enclosure, this disconnect is engineered for rainproof outdoor applications - ideal for disconnecting HVAC units, pool and hot tub equipment, air compressors, irrigation systems, and other outdoor loads where a lockable, code-compliant means of disconnect is required. The quick make, quick break operating mechanism ensures fast, positive switching action that minimises arcing and protects both the operator and the connected equipment. Suitable for service entrance applications when equipped with the appropriate neutral assembly or equipment grounding kit. Ships within Ontario.
Key Features
| Type 3R Stainless Steel Enclosure | Rainproof Type 3R enclosure constructed from stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance for outdoor installations - ideal for coastal environments, poolside equipment, rooftop HVAC disconnects, and any exposed outdoor location where a standard painted steel enclosure would rust over time. |
| 60A, 600VAC/VDC Rating | Rated for 60A at 600VAC/VDC - handles the full range of residential and light commercial outdoor equipment loads including central air conditioners, heat pumps, pool pumps, hot tubs, and outdoor sub-panels requiring a lockable means of disconnect. |
| Non-Fusible Design | Non-fusible configuration provides a clean means of disconnect without fuse management - overcurrent protection is handled upstream at the panel, simplifying the disconnect installation and eliminating the need to stock replacement fuses on site. |
| Quick Make, Quick Break Mechanism | Spring-loaded quick make, quick break operating mechanism ensures fast, positive switching action regardless of how slowly the handle is operated - minimising arcing, protecting contacts, and meeting CEC requirements for a safe means of disconnect. |
| Service Entrance Capable | Suitable for use as a service entrance disconnect when equipped with the appropriate neutral assembly or equipment grounding kit - providing flexibility for service entrance applications without requiring a separate disconnect enclosure. |
| 3-Pole Configuration | 3-pole design simultaneously disconnects all three phases - required for 3-phase equipment and suitable for use on single-phase 240V loads where a 3-pole disconnect is specified or preferred for full isolation of the equipment. |
