Leviton Telcom N3603 Metal Enclosure Nema 3R Contactor

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM N3603 is a manual, non-reversing AC contactor housed in a NEMA 3R-rated gray metal enclosure. It is designed for manual motor control and load switching in AC electrical systems where rain-tight outdoor or damp-location protection is required. This type of enclosure-mounted contactor is installed by licensed electricians in commercial and industrial applications where the controller must be mounted in an exposed or semi-exposed location. The non-reversing configuration means the motor or load runs in a single direction only, which simplifies wiring and suits applications where reversing operation is not needed.

This unit is suited for manual AC motor-starting or load-control applications in locations subject to weather exposure, such as rooftop equipment, outdoor mechanical rooms, or covered exterior service areas. The NEMA 3R rating provides protection against falling rain, sleet, and external ice formation. It is appropriate for use in light commercial and industrial settings where a self-contained, manually operated switching solution is required without the complexity of a full motor control center.

Key Features

• NEMA 3R-rated gray metal enclosure for rain-tight and damp-location use
• Manual operation — no control circuit or pilot device required
• Non-reversing configuration for single-direction load or motor control
• AC contactor design suitable for standard AC power systems
• Self-contained unit sold individually (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style manual AC contactor for use in NEMA 3R-rated enclosure applications where non-reversing, manually operated motor or load control is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out all power to the circuit before beginning installation or service. Verify that the enclosure mounting location is suitable for a NEMA 3R rating and that the enclosure is properly grounded per NEC requirements. Do not use this device in locations requiring a higher ingress protection rating, such as NEMA 4 or NEMA 4X.
