Overview
The Intermatic AG6503C3 is a three-phase surge protective device (SPD) designed for Type 1 and Type 2 applications. Rated at 347/600 VAC with 50/60 Hz frequency, 3-pole, 4-wire configuration, this arrester guard employs TPMOV® (Thermally Protected Metal Oxide Varistor) surge protection technology to eliminate hazardous failure modes associated with standard MOV designs. The unit features a Type 4X watertight, plastic enclosure for outdoor installations with UV-resistant polycarbonate housing.
Key Features
- Six modes of protection with green LED protection indicator
- Housing molded from weather and UV resistant polycarbonate which complies with UL Standard for strength and flame resistance
