Description
The Leviton N3603 Powerswitch® Industrial Grade AC Manual Motor Controller provides heavy-duty manual ON/OFF switching and local disconnect capability for high-capacity three-phase motor loads. Housed in a weather-resistant, powder-coated steel NEMA Type 3R gray enclosure, this 60 Amp, 600 VAC non-fused three-pole (3-pole) manual motor controller is engineered to withstand harsh indoor and outdoor industrial environments subject to rain, sleet, or ice formation.
Built for demanding industrial applications, the N3603 delivers high horsepower handling up to 10 HP at 240 V, 25 HP at 480 V, and 30 HP at 600 V. It features flame-retardant (UL 94 V-0) thermoplastic polyester body components, a Valox 357 PBT handle, and extra-thick .046″ silver-cadmium oxide contacts for superior arc suppression across a 6,000-cycle inductive load lifecycle. Equipped with front-wired terminals accepting #10 to #4 AWG conductors, this non-fused switch is ideal for heavy manufacturing machinery, large industrial pumps, commercial HVAC units, and heavy-duty conveyor systems.
