Where the Tesla UKT5-63A Panel Mount Changeover Switch Is Used

A changeover switch — also called a transfer switch or source changeover switch — manually transfers the electrical supply connection of a load between two supply sources. The three-position 1-0-2 rotary cam mechanism gives three states: Source 1 connected (position 1), all supplies disconnected (position 0, the safe off position), and Source 2 connected (position 2). The off position ensures that both supplies are never connected simultaneously, preventing dangerous back-feed to either source.

The most common application is generator changeover — the switch allows an installation to transfer between the mains grid supply and a portable or standby generator supply, with a safe off position between the two. The UKT5-63A is rated at 63A across 4 poles, making it suitable for three phase installations and larger single phase loads at this current capacity. The panel mount version is designed for installation into a switchboard or existing enclosure — the cam switch mechanism mounts through a panel cutout, with terminals accessible from the rear and the rotary handle projecting from the front face of the panel.

The UKT5-63A panel mount is the panel cutout variant of the Tesla UKT5 range. The enclosed variant (UKT548213E63) is also available for standalone surface mounting in an IP65 rated enclosure where no existing switchboard is available.

Q: What does 1-0-2 mean on a changeover switch?
A: The 1-0-2 designation refers to the three positions of the rotary cam switch. Position 1 connects Source 1 (typically mains supply) to the load. Position 0 is the off position — both supplies are disconnected from the load, providing a safe break between the two sources. Position 2 connects Source 2 (typically generator supply) to the load. The 0 position ensures both supplies are never live-connected simultaneously.

Q: What is the difference between the panel mount and enclosed versions of the UKT5-63A?
A: The UKT548213P63 is the panel mount version — the cam switch mechanism is supplied without an enclosure, for mounting into an existing switchboard or enclosure panel cutout. The UKT548213E63 is the enclosed version — the cam switch mechanism is housed inside a surface mount IP65 rated enclosure, suitable for standalone mounting on a wall or structure.

Q: Is the Tesla UKT5-63A panel mount changeover switch suitable for generator changeover?
A: Yes. The UKT5-63A is a standard choice for manual generator changeover applications in three phase and single phase installations rated up to 63A. Confirm that the installation complies with AS/NZS 3000 and all applicable wiring rules before installation.
