We’re Here To
All Your Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions about TOSUNlux changeover switches：

What are the different types of changeover switches?

The main types are manual changeover switch, automatic changeover switch, 3 phase changeover switch, 2 pole changeover switch, and higher amperage configurations for larger loads. TOSUNlux offers all these varieties to suit your specific application.

How do I size a changeover switch?

First, determine your critical backup loads and size the switch for at least 125% of that connected load. Also, account for future expansion. Our team can help recommend the right size switch.

What is the difference between changeover switches and transfer switches?

Changeover switch and transfer switch serve similar functions but have some key differences. Changeover switches are manually operated electromechanical switches that transition electrical loads between two power sources. Transfer switches are higher-end automatic switchgear that transfers equipment seamlessly between utility and backup generator power for critical systems.

What types of equipment can I use changeover switches for?

Changeover switches allow safe, reliable switching of lighting, motors, pumps, appliances, machinery and other electrical loads between two input supplies. This enables transitions between main and backup power, primary and secondary power sources, or even different phases. Robust terminals accommodate a wide range of wiring sizes. Changeover operation ensures no dangerous open transition.

How often should changeover switches be maintained?

Periodic inspection and testing ensure proper operation when needed. For standby systems, test annually. For frequent switching applications, inspect contacts and connections more regularly.

How to Maintain Your Changeover Switch for Reliable Performance

Your facility’s changeover switch serves a crucial role – safely transitioning critical systems to backup power when the mains fail. But like other electrical gear, switches need proper care and maintenance to operate dependably when called upon. Here are key maintenance tips for manual and automatic transfer switches:

1. Inspect Annually

Annual inspection spot checks overall condition and function. Examine the enclosure, bolted connections, wiring, and components for damage, looseness, corrosion, dirt/debris accumulation, etc. Fix noted issues immediately to prevent operational problems when needed…

2. Test Functionality

Simulate power loss events to confirm that the switch transitions properly between sources. Check manual switches to ensure the throw mechanism smoothly shifts positions across both poles without sticking or binding…

3. Check Contacts

Inspect switch contacts for discoloration, pitting, and wear. Clean dirty contacts. Replace significantly worn contacts that won’t ensure low-resistance connection under load. Pay particular attention to contacts on frequent switching applications.

4. Lubricate Parts

Apply dielectric grease or lubricants to moving current-carrying parts and components per manufacturer specifications. This prevents corrosion and maintains smooth operation. Avoid getting lubricants on switch contacts or insulation.

5. Test Transfer Time

For automatic transfer switches, use a stopwatch feature on a digital multimeter to test that the time delay from power loss to standby connection stays within specification. Lengthy transfers risk damaging sensitive equipment.

6. Confirm Voltages

Use a multimeter to check that the switch transition properly matches phase rotation and voltage on both the primary and secondary power sources. Mismatched voltages can damage equipment.

By following these maintenance tips, you can catch issues before they cause problems. Keep your changeover switch in top working order for complete reliability when transferring critical loads to backup power.

Don’t hesitate to contact TOSUNlux if you need replacement parts, technical support, or new switchgear recommendations tailored to your application.
