Questions & Answers

Can it handle the gauge of wire I am using?

#4 and the surrounding area There is no reason to believe that the #6 would be thicker than the #2 or 0.

What is the UL certification number for this switch?

UL certification is not present on the ones I purchased. Since I will only run about 30 amps through them, they appear to be fairly sturdy, so I feel confident they will not fail. In other words, certification becomes critical if safety is the most important factor.

What sort of installation is this - is each of the poles its own or are they all connected in the middle?

There is a difference between them. If you hold the handle straight up and down, you will not make any connections. I hope this helps you understand what happens when you flip the switch. By throwing it one way, it closes three separate circuits from the center to one side. By turning it the other way, it opens the same circuits to the opposite side.

Would you be able to describe the demenios of the switch I'd like to mount on an external box?

It has a length of 6 The outside diameter is 3/8", the inside diameter is 5 The length is 1" and the height is 4" (neither of these dimensions include the actuator handle which would add length based on its location). In my opinion, this is a good knife switch for the price, with long blades that seat firmly when the switch button is pressed. Switches like this should not be used outside or in industrial or commercial settings that require heavy Moreover, it is not weather-proof in any way. There is no standard electrical box that I am familiar with that has this type of size as it has been designed for surface mounting.

Buying what you want will get you what you want
3/5

I think it is at least worth the money you spend on It's not much at all! I found the plastic covering to be It is rather unfortunate that the whole thing has turned out that way. I get the feeling that this is cheap. It's best not to tighten down the screws too much as the screw holes are plastic. There is no sign of a leak in the contacts. The switch does not snap into action when you turn it on- Essentially you are jamming the blades into their contacts just as you would in a Despite the clamps being captured, the wire is not forced to be held in place, so you can loosen them until they fall away. had to fiddle with it for a while, but I finally got it back in place after some time. I wasn't able to verify the 100-amp rating - As far as I could tell, the product does not have UL approval. All in all, if you are going to spend $20 on a switch, this is the one you should buy. You should keep looking if you are searching for something solid, or if you need equipment that is UL rated.
