Abstract:
1. A method of switchably connecting distribution circuits of an electrical panel between first and second power sources, the electrical panel including first and second power supply switches, wherein the power supply switches include respective first and second switch operating members, the method comprising: detecting interruption of power from a power source providing power to the electrical panel; and energizing a rotatable powered actuator connected to the switch operating members of the power supply switches, wherein rotation of the powered actuator translates the switch operating members in a direction parallel to an axis of rotation of the powered actuator so as to apply a linear force to the first power supply switch operating member to move the first power supply switch operating member from a first position to a second position, and to also move the second power supply switch operating member from a second position to a first position by a control member slidably positioned between the first and second power supply switches, wherein when the first power supply switch operating member is in the second position and the second power supply switch operating member is in the first position, the distribution circuits are electrically connected to the second power source.
