Since you seem to be so good at divination....Pray tell me just
exactly how a three-pole double throw transfer switch can connect
the emergency power to the line rather than the load.

The ONLY thing this switch can do if the solenoid fails is to NOT
actuate the switch from one position the other.

But I'm sure you have a reasonable explanation on how that can
not be the case here.


I see that only the ASCO 4000 and 7000 series are closed-transition
switches, i.e. break before make, not the Series 940 -- which I had to
look up from the replacement part number you gave.

My bad, I suppose.
