Too small for 8 and 10 gauge wire switches. Again absolutely no instructions and some parts fit differently. I removed the connector before realizing it couldn't handle heavy wires.
Use with the main switch for our AC Inverter/Street Switch. Pretty big but works. Has standard 3/4 and 1/2 openings for wire insertion. Solid matching cover that allows you to connect cables outside the box. Thought it was worth visiting again.
Switching performance assumes thick gauge wire is used. After wasting too much time trying to get cables into this incredibly small box, I gave up. Garbage. This will only frustrate you and send you back to the hardware store for a big J-Box.
I used an electrical box in combination with a switch. I installed a switch to manually switch between shore power and solar power (on one phase only). Make a thick wire, I didn't use a J-Box base. I bought a bigger box and mounted the switch holder on the new box (see picture). It was difficult to close the lid, but managed.
The box was a bit flimsy for the #12 wire I used. I don't think it will work well for a larger wire. The knock out holes were in the wrong place for my project so I had to punch two 3/4 holes in the bottom. There could be external flanges for attaching the box. it would make my project much easier.
I used an electric box with a switch terminal. I installed a switch to manually switch between shore power and solar power (on one phase only). Make a thick wire, I didn't use a J-Box base. I bought a bigger box and mounted the switch holder on the new box (see picture). It was difficult to close the lid, but managed.
I broke the factory seal and all I have is the body and the top as you see in the main view. NO equipment. No gasket or metal braces required, but cover screws would be nice. Most likely, these were twisted screws. I'll measure the holes in the case and drive in the next size up screws and find a Lowe pan head. Not worth the hassle as they already had to resend the correct switch. It just has to be done. No more time for nonsense.
