Dedicated 16A Double-Pole Switching: Built to continuously handle balanced live and neutral loads up to 16 Amps across residential buildings, shops, and workshops.
Break-Before-Make Safety Mechanism: Features a dedicated Center-Off position to ensure complete physical separation between utility mains and backup generator power, preventing accidental back-feeding.
High-Conductivity Copper Contacts: Heavy-gauge electrolytic copper contact blades and spring-tensioned jaws maintain low electrical resistance and prevent terminal overheating under continuous load.
Durable Metal-Clad Enclosure: High-grade metal construction with arc-resistant internal barriers prevents phase-to-neutral flashovers and provides physical protection.
Positive Mechanical Detent Handle: Front-facing manual operating lever provides firm, unambiguous tactile feedback for Position I (Mains), Center-Off (Isolation), and Position II (Generator).
