Review: Very Nice, Well Made Switch - But, some out of box issues - Please see additional comments concerning reliability at the end of the review. This is a solid multi-pole transfer switch. I am actually using it to switch a power line filter in and out of the primary shore power circuit in a camper. The filter unexpectedly trips some ground fault breakers. So, there are instances when the filter needs to be bypassed. Since both sides of the filter need to be removed from the circuit this switch allows an elegant solution. You are getting a lot of switch for your money here. It seems well made and is easy to install. As with many Chinese made items, especially those selling at low prices as compared to market, it lacks any instructions or schematics at all. So, you must rely on those you find online or in the product's ad. In this case, as the title of the review alluded, the wiring diagram/switch schematic shown in the product photos is incorrect, depicting a 16 pole switch, not the 12 pole switch you are buying. The description of the product was correct. But, I needed the 16 Pole, but with four poles unused in my design, not in linear pairs. I initially ordered the wrong switch as I designed my circuit based on the schematic provided. It's my mistake, but don't make it yourself. Several suggestions I would make to the seller would be to show the width of terminals which can be used and size of the securing terminal screws. I am not a fan of poking high amperage wires under a securing plate and tightening them into place. I'd prefer to use spade or loop lugs for a more secure connection. To use those it would be useful to have the this information added to the dimensional diagram. A mounting template would also be useful, as to mount the switch neatly you will need to make one yourself. Additional comments added after several months of use: My transfer function ceased to work in one of the positions despite having been tested good before installation. Testing revealed that one of the selected closed pole positions was not conducting. As I had two spare poles for that side, I moved the function to a spare and was back in business. However, I initiated a return to swap out the "faulty" switch. I ordered this one from another seller, though it was obviously the same Chinese switch. My initial seller was out of stock. When it arrived, before installation, I tested all of the poles. One was not conducting. Playing with the switch I found that if I switched it back and forth a number of times it started working and seemingly kept working after that. So, I went back to my installed "bad switch." I did the same, switching it back and forth a number of times. The "bad" pole started working. Because this seems to be a peculiaritity of this switch I decided to keep the installed switch, functioning on the backup pole. My bad pe now working, I still have a spare. It is a very complicated installation/wiring and a real job to change out, so, without any advantage I'll leave well enough alone. I do not know why I have encountered the intermittent pole issue. Two switches out of the box like this seems to be a trend. I still think this switch is a good value, considering the very low cost, if it will function reliably after it's "loosened up." But, we shall see.
Review: NO WIRING DIAGRAM but Great Quality! - Five stars for quality and functionality - ZERO stars for wiring diagram! I had to search the internet for about 2 hours to figure out how to correctly wire it up for my project. Only 5 stars because the switch is heavy duty and well made.

Five stars for quality and functionality - ZERO stars for wiring diagram! I had to search the internet for about 2 hours to figure out how to correctly wire it up for my project. Only 5 stars because the switch is heavy duty and well made.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks like it’ll work.
*by A***K on April 19, 2024*

This is a little deep to fit in a normal double gang box. The switch it self is medium quality. Definitely good enough but not ‘industrial quality’ by any stretch.
