Abstract:
1. A transfer switch comprising: a bus bar; a track parallel to the bus bar; a first power source connection proximate to the track; a second power source connection proximate to the track offset along the track from the first power source connection; a conductive core slidably coupled to the track, wherein the core includes a deformable array of conductive sections and the array includes contacting surfaces on opposite sides of the array, wherein the conductive core has a first position providing a conductive coupling between the bus bar and the first power source, wherein the second power source is electrically isolated from the bus bar when the core is in the first position; wherein the conductive core has a second position providing a conductive coupling between the bus bar and the second power source, wherein the first power source is electrically isolated from the bus bar when the core is in the first position, and wherein the core slides along the track between the first position and the second position.
