Manual Changeover Switches
Just imagine it is a cold winter night. You are comfortably sitting in a warm room and watching television and the power suddenly goes off. Wouldn’t it be frustrating? To avoid this Ampkart provides manual changeover switches.
Also known as a transfer switch, a manual changeover switch is designed to transfer a house or business electricity from the commercial power grid to a local generator when an outage occurs.
They directly connect the generator, commercial power supply or line, to the house. When the homeowner or business owner experiences a power outage, he or she can switch over to the generator via a changeover switch.
With a manual changeover switch, the owner must flip a switch to turn the power draw from the commercial grid to the generator.
Changeover switches either have two phases and one neutral or three phases and one neutral. The changeover switch with two phases is usually suitable for households because they hold a capacity of 220 volts which is enough for a domestic purpose. For official purposes like industries or factories, a changeover switch with three phases is better as it holds a capacity of 440 volts.
