2We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We were the first to have quick make-quick break
operators on bolted pressure contact switches.
3We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We were the first to pass UL977 FUSED
POWER CIRCUIT DEVICES.
4We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
Most of our switches are rated a FULL 600 volts.
5We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We were the first to mount the switch operator on
the switch base panel.
Prior to our entering the business
the switchboard builder had to mount the
switch, then mount the operator, then install
and adjust the connecting linkage.
6We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
Whenever possible, we make our switches so they
will stand up on a bench. This makes it
possible to operate the switch before it is
mounted in a switchboard cell.
7We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We use formed copper pole parts. Formed parts
are stronger, simpler, and run cooler. In some
cases, we have only 1/3 the number of parts used
by our major competitors.
8We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
Our arc chute does not restrict the size of bus
bar that may be used.
Bus bar can be wider than the switch terminals.
9We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We use threaded inserts for the fuse bolts. This
makes installing the fuses easier.
10We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We put blade stops on the crossbar rather than on
the blades.
For easy inspection or maintenance, the blades
may be dropped down. To drop the blades 1.
Rotate the contact lever as shown (arrow 1). 2.
As it rotates, the blades will rotate down
to allow improved access (arrow 2). Then when
you return the blades to the original position,
the linkage assembly will snap back into toggle.
11We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We were the first to stop using ebony asbestos in
favor of glass polyester base panels.
We do not use any asbestos.
12We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
Our most popular switches are mounted on
molded base panels.
13We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
800 thorugh 3000 ampere switches have the same
basic dimensions. They mount in the same
space, using the same sheet metal.
14We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We pre-assemble pole units and operators for
stock.
15We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We were the first to have a 400 amp pullout
switch.
16We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We provide a transparent face barrier so that you
can readily see the switch blade position without
removing the barriers.
17We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We provide a screw terminal at each
line terminal, hinge, and load terminal to
make it easy to wire in control power
transformers, blown fuse detectors,
instrumentation
18We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We were the first to have a shunt trip operator
on a bolted pressure contact switch.
19We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
Switch operation is not totally dependent on
springs.
ALL SWITCHES manufactured by BOLTSWITCH (Manual
or Shunt Trip) can be opened with the handle,
even if the opening spring is removed.
20We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
Our manual and Shunt Trip switches are designed
so that -handle is up, switch is on, -handle is
down, switch is off.
21We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We provide rails on the back of the switch base
panel to allow the circulation of air, prevent
the accumulation of moisture, and to guarantee
isolation of live parts from grounded switchboard
members.
22We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We dont have to seal the bolt holes on the back
of the panel, but we do. Why? Because we dont
want someone to be surprised when a finger or a
fish tape hits a live bolt head.
23We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
Our switches with Integral Ground Fault have the
sensor mounted in the switch blade area. Bussing
does not change. Sheet metal does not
change. No additional space is required.
24We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
Our switches with Integral Ground Fault have the
relay mounted on a three-way adjustable slide
bracket. The relay can stay behind the access
door, or extend through an opening in the
enclosure front.
25We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
Our switches with Integral Ground Fault have a
five-point terminal block with two jumpers.
The jumpers can be removed to add accessories.
No internal wiring changes.
26We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
Each switch has a serial number.
Records are kept by serial number showing
the purchaser, shop order number, accessories
and modifications.
27We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We have a UL Listed motor operated bolted
pressure contact switch
28We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We established a policy where we will not build
two or more switches into one enclosure. We do
not build switchboards. We do not compete
with our customers.
29We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We have the only Geneva operator for double
throw applications. It is UL Listed and we have
interconnecting bus that is UL Listed for
withstanding 200,000 RMS symmetrical amperes.
30We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We have the first Listed Fused Power Circuit
Device Enclosure.
31We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We were the first to pass UL977 FUSED
POWER CIRCUIT DEVICES that accept Class T fuses
Series VT switches are rated 800 1200 A, 240
600 VAC. Very compact design.
32We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We were the first to pass UL977 FUSED
POWER CIRCUIT DEVICES, for use on Direct Current.
33We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We developed 800 - 2000 amp Fused Power Circuit
Devices that are extremely narrow.
Series WL switches measure 19.5 wide, and will
fit in a 20 wide section.
34We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We developed a lockout device to meet
strict E.U.S.E.R.C. requirements.
Our DB lockout devices mount the same as a key
interlock, and can be installed on other devices
as well as our own. Models are available with
key interlock provisions. E.U.S.E.R.C. -

35We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We developed special padlocking provisions for
our switches to meet strict E.U.S.E.R.C.
requirements.
Specify E.U.S.E.R.C. Padlock Clip when ordering
this feature on a switch.
36We thought it was a GOOD IDEA,
so we did it!
We have selected switch drawings on AutoCAD. We
can furnish either 3.5 diskette or CD-ROM.
AutoCAD 12, 14 DXF formats available.
