Kolors Kwiktrip Changeover Switch

A Kolors Kwiktrip Changeover Switch, also known as a Transfer switch or Transfer Change Over (TCO) switch, is a critical component in electrical systems that allows for the manual or automatic transfer of power supply between two sources. These sources typically include the main power grid and an alternate power source, such as a generator or an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The primary function of a Change Over switch is to ensure continuity of power supply, particularly in situations where one power source fails or undergoes maintenance. When the primary power source fails or becomes unavailable, the Change Over switch seamlessly transfers the electrical load to the alternate power source, thereby preventing disruptions and downtime. Change Over switches come in various configurations, including manual and automatic types. In manual Change Over switches, the transfer of power is initiated manually by an operator, typically by turning a rotary switch or toggling a lever. Manual switches are often used in applications where immediate intervention is feasible or desired.
