Best Change over Switch 1 Power Source 2 Loads Van Conversion. Check it out.

Brilliant. I am running input from solar to charge batteries in 2 separate areas. No more swapping alligator clips. Simple explanation and a good video. Cheers

[@Denniejones]

Thank you soooo much for showing the entire wiring. Others stopped short of what I needed to see. lol. Great instructions!

[@enochhutchcraft8304]

EXCELLENT!! I used it "backwards" like another reader already suggested. I wired it exactly as you indicated, your slight mis-spoken "load" wires actually helped with clarity in my application. I have two inverters I wanted to be able to toggle between. Simply excellent info for the DIY guy.

[@marcklindsey9512]

I am glad the info helped.

[@retireddeloach]

OMG so glad I found this video. I have been searching for days on how to wire these suckers. Our AC selector switch burned up. 30 amp RV has a 20 amp AC in the front and another one in the back. They can not run at the same time on campground power. Could not find instructions anywhere. I followed your method and the switch, the front and back ACs work perfectly. Can NOT thank you enough.

Thank you so much for this video, I was stranded on installation location until I bumbed into this video. You are doing a good job, keep going man.

This is first one of these Rotory switch videos that I can actually relate too! Thank you so much!!!! Regards Aaron

Perfect! The only detailed description I’ve found on KZbin! Thank you very much.

Nice. I'm fitting one of these to my van, but not to choose between two power sources. I want one setting for charging the leisure battery from the engine, and one setting for charging the starter-auxiliary batteries from the solar panel. Reason to keep them separate is because if I want the starter-auxiliary being charged from solar, then it's because they're so low that I wouldn't want power being sent to the DC-DC charger anyway.

[@Pk3_Garage]

Thanks for this detailed video. I was trying to figure out how to wire this same switch. I'm using two of these, with two transfer switches, to switch between two power sources.

[@MNCasaPro]

Thanks. I am building a hotbox to keep caulk warm in my van. I plan on switching between cigarette lighter inverter and an inverter running off a power tool battery (for when the van isn't running) Didn't know if this switch would work for me, but now I do. :)

Tq so easy to understand the video

[@John-xv8no]

Thanks for the vid, I want to switch between a small welder and compresser.

[@marcklindsey9512]

It can be done using this switch.

[@worcesterexchange554]

I have a 4 position switch like this, quite new but it has stopped working properly, it will only go to two positions and jams in the other positions. Does anybody know how to open it to try and see what is wrong inside? It seems to come in slices - perhaps I could replace the faulty slice with a good one from another switch. Thanks.

[@CasaNova-u4j]

Hi, Thank you for the video. My issue is a bit different. I would like to use the switch for changing the sens of rotation of an electric motor. So that if on position 1 it will rotate in one direction and if on position 2 it rotate in the other direction. Can you please help know how to connect the terminals? I mean which numbers of terminals I may connect together for position 1, and which ones for position 2. And which ones to connect to the motor and to the power supply.

[@marcklindsey9512]

As long as you maintain the same terminal on either side of the switch, you should be ok. Open it up and look at the inside. It should be a bit more clear.

[@TuryasinguraDerick-ur8gr]

🎉 Thank you

[@goinmobile5473]

Marck really appreciated your vid on wiring this switch. I have a similar switch with 8 terminals and 3 positions. I want to wire 2 power sources and 1 load allowing me to switch between power sources (Shore and Genset). How would I accomplish this with my switch? I haven't seen any other instruction on this.

[@marcklindsey9512]

Hey, post a picture of it or the model number so I may examine it.

[@andreVE4BK]

I had the same requirement!… so… jumpers between 4&2 and 8&6 as per video. Load will be 4&8. Source 1 1&5 and source 2 3&7. Keep + and - in the same order as per Marck’s excellent video.

[@si12volt1]

Wondering if i can use this switch with a DC solar array 2 wire pos n neg to this switch then 2 different DC units and toggle between the two units from the one solar array

[@marcklindsey9512]

You sure can. Only hook up the connections you need. 2 wires in and 2 wires out.

[@richardchandler9027]

I did this exact switch and it lasted about 3 months. Fell apart inside. Have not tried to source a better one.

[@marcklindsey9512]

Hmm, mine still runs like a champ. Perhaps you had a defective one.

[@Salsadepr40]

Hi Marck, I like your video. I am looking to buy the same exact transfer switch. I kind of understand were you coming from when tranferring from shore to Battery charger. But what about having the same shore line to be use for a reseptical when the shore is not in use. Can the tranffer switch be use to connect AC line Out and Shore Line In? I kind of did a Diagram to show my idea for better understanding. I like to do this for my owe purpose and I like to submitted to you, if you like. I'm a new beginner at this. Please let me know.

[@marcklindsey9512]

Sure thing. Post it do we may discuss.

[@glennjames9152]

Do you wire the switch the exact same way if you have one load and two power sources (shore power and fuse panel)? I have a second air conditioner that I want to run a cord to the campground pedestal 20 a mp plug. Position 1 would be normal mode, position 2 the 2nd AC would bypass the coach power, make a 20anp shore cord, and connect it to the pedestal. A way to bypass the coaches 30a power.

[@marcklindsey9512]

Yea. That would work.

[@vajiraliyanage1631]

Nice.. but what if i wanted 2nd position to power Both ac and the charger.. then how to proceed

[@marcklindsey9512]

In that case, both AC and Charger will be connected to the second position. The Single loop remains.

[@Robert40693]

How would you wire this for 240v, switch between dryer and ev charger?

[@marcklindsey9512]

Hey Robert. What I understand, you have one power source (240 V) and you want to split it two. One for dryer, and one for ev. You would do the same thing. Come in on one side as I did and loop the source at the same side. So when you toggle to 1, your dryer runs. When you toggle to 2, your ev charger gets power.

[@petegaskell4274]

Feels like you’ve come up with a solution where there was no problem? If you have the battery charger connected to consumer unit you could use the switch to then select between ac & dc which seem more preferable. If you wanted to turn battery charger off you could just do so with the socket switch. Sorry I may be being stupid here but just can’t figure what this is achieving?

[@practicallab]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5Tal5x9eMmSp6c

[@br5498]

That’s exactly what I thought… all he was install a off switch.. the switch is meant to transfer 2 sources of incoming power to a load…

[@peTeMelster]

Where did you get that square grey cover in between the two black parts of the Peissy switch?

[@marcklindsey9512]

It came with it.

up to now........still confused with this kind of switch

[@practicallab]

good

[@OffGridSolar]

The video was helpful to see how to install the switch but why would you install this switch in the first place? If you put the charger, air conditioner and shore power together in a junction box then you could just charge your batteries and run AC at the same time while on shore power. You wouldn't need to switch these.

[@marcklindsey9512]

Hey. Thanks for the input. Didn't think about that. I also wanted to run my AC off my batteries. The idea was to toggle between shore and battery for the AC.

[@OffGridSolar]

@@marcklindsey9512 In that case you would run your shore power and charger to one input of an automatic transfer switch and the inverter to the other input then run the output to an AC Sub-panel that the air conditioning is on. This way when you plug in shore power. it will automatically run your air and charge your batteries and when you unplug shore power it will switch the input to the inverter and the inverter will run the air. Installing off grid mobile solar systems is what I do so if you ever want to pick my brain just message me. Always happy to help. But I liked what you did with the manual switchover. I will be using that switch to put in a 30amp service to switch between a Dryer and RV service receptacle.
