This unit is compact in size and design and can be trusted to function efficiently as it is manufactured in China from high grade materials. It has been designed as a manual transfer switch which means that unlike the automatic transfer switch it must be triggered by the user when required. There are many businesses that only operate during the day and only require back up power during normal working hours. The automatic transfer switch will operate round the clock and if the power fails at night it could have the generator running to no purpose and will waste fuel. The manual transfer switch allows the user total control over power flow. It is easy to install but must still be fitted by a qualified electrician.

Characteristics of the YGLZ-250 4-POLE 250AMP Manual Transfer Switch

The manual transfer switch should be installed in an electrical cabinet with the handle on the outside. It can operate in a wide range of temperatures from -5 degrees Celsius up to 40 degrees Celsius. It needs to be protected from the elements and should not be used in an area where there are volatile gases. The unit is perfect for a residential dwelling or a small business where the owner or staff can turn on a generator if there is a power failure and operate the switch. The primary advantage of a manual transfer switch is the reasonable price compared to the automatic transfer switch. It is lower in cost to manufacture than the automatic transfer switch. A window is usually fitted in the cabinet to allow the user to view the status of the switch.

Benefits of using the YGLZ-250 4-POLE 250AMP Manual Transfer Switch

This switch has an added safety feature in that it will isolate the main power supply from the building and the standby generator power from the main power lines. This is to protect any feed back into the main lines. The repair workers who are fixing the lines could be electrocuted by power feeding back into dead lines.

The YGLZ-630 3 pole 630 Amp manual transfer switch is part of the YGLZ series and is a unit that switches the input power between two sources. These sources are usually the main electrical supply and a standby generator. The switch enables the user to maintain power when there is a power blackout. When the main power fails the standby generator can be started and the switch thrown. This automatically isolates the main power lines from the system as it could be dangerous to have live current flowing through supposedly deadlines. The repair crew could be badly electrocuted by these live lines. Most modern appliances and equipment have electronic components which are very sensitive to current and voltage surges or drops in power and can easily be damaged.

Benefits of the YGLZ-630 3-POLE 630AMP Manual Transfer Switch

This unit is more affordable than an automatic transfer switch and in certain circumstances is all that is needed to efficiently control the two power sources. An operator is required to physically turn the switch. Since the user will have to start the generator first the switch is often placed near the standby plant. A large generator will be able to comfortably run the entire house or office equipment. If a smaller unit is used it can be wired to only supply power to critical areas such as lights and computers or heating and cooling systems.

Specifications of the YGLZ-630 3-POLE 630AMP Manual Transfer Switch

These units are cost efficient and are made in China from high quality materials. The YGLZ series meets the IEC60947-3 and GB14048.3 standards. The small size and compact design of the unit make for easy installation which still needs to be done by a competent electrician.

Benefits of the YGLZ-400 3-POLE 400AMP Manual Transfer Switch

The transfer switch plays an essential role in keeping critical electrical load functioning during power outages. Most large factories as well as hospitals and data centres and many other commercial and institutional facilities require a constant supply of power. When the mains power fails they need to have a backup power source like a generator. Transfer switches are a means of quickly and safely transitioning all critical electric circuits from one power source to the other. With a manual transfer switch the generator needs to be switched on and running correctly before the transfer is made.

Characteristics of the YGLZ-400 3-POLE 400AMP Manual Transfer Switch

The switching mechanism is the part of the transfer switch that is physically responsible for carrying the rated electrical current and shifting the connection between the power sources. The unit will isolate the one power source before allowing the other to enter the system. This is a safety measure to prevent any power flowing back down the power lines. This safeguards the repairmen who will be working to restore power and who could be electrocuted by feedback from a second source. The unit is simple to operate even by a relatively inexperienced person.

The main purpose of a manual transfer switch is to be able to utilise two sources of power without having to rewire a building. Both sources of power are connected to the switch and when the mains power fails the generator is turned on and the switch is positioned to allow the generators power to flow through the wires. At the same time the manual transfer switch isolates the main line so that there can be no feedback current. This could be lethal for workers on the line as they expect it to be dead. The unit has been designed to be simple to install and use. The manual transfer switch needs to be installed in a protective panel to keep it out of the weather. There is an option available to have a window fitted to the panel so that the user can see whether the switch is on or off.
