Abstract
A transfer switch includes a miniature circuit breaker housing, a first line terminal, a second line terminal and a load terminal. A transfer arm is adapted to pivot between a first position in which the transfer arm is electrically connected to the first line terminal and a second position in which the transfer arm is electrically connected to the second line terminal. A solenoid having a first coil, a second coil and a plunger moves the transfer arm between the first and second positions thereof. Separable contacts are electrically connected between the transfer arm and the load terminal. An operating mechanism opens and closes the separable contacts.
