This post is a quick introduction to resettable PTCs (PPTCs). A polymeric positive temperature coefficient device (PPTC) is a passive electronic component used to protect against overcurrent faults in electronic circuits. Simply put, a PPTC […]
As it has V1 printed next to it, that makes it look more like a VDR - however, while it has three legs it has two obvious separate components inside, one large, one small. This is 'similar' to a posistor, which was used to degauass CRT's back in the day, and consisted of two thermistors, one positive coefficient, and one negative.
But you're still only giving us a tiny picture, so we've no idea what it might be doing - or what it's in - there's no context.
Presumably the three terminals are live in, live out, and neutral?. Probably the component is some kind of protection, possibly against lightning pulses?. Why do you want to know?.

OK, can you draw that part of the circuit out, so we can see how it's connected - the component, the three pin terminal connector, and where it goes to.

Some people are just incapable of compliance with a simple request. It would require some amount of effort and industry on their part which they are unwilling to expend to get to a solution. Easier to ask someone else to do it by -- magic perhaps?
