YGLZ-160 4-POLE 160Amp Manual Transfer Switch
YGLZ-160/4P is a manual transfer switch, rated 160 A with 4 poles for generator installations where someone is on site to change over.
About this part
A manual changeover switch has three positions: mains, off and generator. Because the switch can only be in one position, the generator can never feed back into the grid, which protects line workers and the generator.
When to replace it
- Connecting a portable or standby generator to a building
- Replacing a worn switch
- Increasing the current rating
Before you order
Choose the current rating to suit the incoming supply and 3 or 4 poles according to the neutral arrangement. Installation must be done by a qualified electrician.
Match the number stamped on the part you are removing, or the number in your engine or alternator manual, before ordering. Part numbers are shown for reference so the right replacement can be identified.
Questions
Do I need a changeover switch to connect a generator?
Yes. Connecting a generator to a building without one is illegal and dangerous, because it can back-feed the grid.
