    If there’s a power outage, flip the toggle for each circuit on these switches to backup power. Each circuit can also be turned off completely. To prevent injury and damage to your generators, they are open transition, meaning the contacts disconnect from one power source before connecting to another. This is also known as break-before-make switching.
    Use them with a portable generator.
    NEMA 1—NEMA 1 switches should be used indoors.
    NEMA 1 with NEMA 3R Power Inlet Box—NEMA 1 switches with a power inlet box create a connection point between the switch and a portable generator. These switches should be used indoors. But their inlet box is rated NEMA 3R, so it can be mounted on the outside of an exterior wall.
    NEMA 3R—NEMA 3R switches can be used outdoors since they seal out rain, snow, and sleet.
    Key Lock—Switches with a key lock prevent unauthorized changes to the switch.

    Cam Panel-Mount Lever Switches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Lever Switches. Cam Panel-Mount Lever Switches.
    Thanks to their ability to handle higher current than switches with contact blocks, these switches are often found in applications from large motors to warehouse lighting systems. The cam pushes contacts more tightly together than contact blocks, allowing more electricity to flow through. However, they aren’t made to be rewired like switches with contact blocks are. These switches require you to grip and twist a lever to turn circuits on or off, so they won’t accidentally actuate if you bump into them. Mount them in a standard panel cutout diameter.
    Choose a switch based on the complexity of your application.
    Changeover Cam Switch—Changeover switches have three positions. They work well if you need to toggle between a primary power source and a backup generator.
    Legend Plates—Legend plates (sold separately) give you a way to change your switch’s message.
