3AG MTG 4 POLE. A low profile fuse block featuring individual barriers which reinforce the fuse clips while providing greater protection against clip damage and electrical shock. The unique design permits self-alignment of clips to fuse cap. This, plus a one-piece clip/terminal assures low contact resistance. Higher current ratings have been attained using spring brass clips. With the exception of the two-pole unit, multiple pole units may be broken apart to obtain desired number of poles.
