Description
The Guest Extra-Duty On/Off Diesel Power Battery Switch (Model 2304A) is a highly durable marine-grade disconnect switch engineered to handle the intense electrical demands and high-cranking current of diesel engines. It provides a clean, heavy-duty electrical path while incorporating built-in alternator protection safety features.
Specifications & Features
- High Power Ratings: Features a robust power capacity rated for 600 Amps continuous and up to 1,000 Amps momentary (up to 5 minutes).
- Alternator Field Disconnect (AFD): Includes an integrated AFD function that protects your alternator's diodes from critical damage if the switch is accidentally turned to the "Off" position while the diesel engine is actively running.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with flat copper "sweep" contacts that maximize surface area up to 60% compared to standard line-contact designs, minimizing arcing and carbon tracking while providing a self-cleaning sweep with every turn.
- Rugged Housing: Protected by a glass-filled, impact-resistant polycarbonate casing that is impervious to the elements and petroleum-based liquids.
- System Compatibility: Designed for use with 6V, 12V, 24V, or 36V DC electrical configurations and features a 3-stud terminal layout accepting massive 1/2" cable lugs for heavy gauge wiring (such as 4/0 cable).
- Dimensions: Measures approximately 5-1/2" square by 3-1/2" deep.
