Operating Characteristics

Manual Changeover Operation

The switch has:

  • Position I → Source 1
  • Position O → OFF
  • Position II → Source 2

The mechanism uses:

  • Mechanical interlocking
  • Break-before-make transfer
  • Three stable positions

This prevents simultaneous connection of both power sources.
