Company Profile
-
Since our first switch
pole
was filed out by hand back in 1953, BOLTSWITCH has continually
contributed
to the science of switch building.
-
We originally set out
to build
a better 400 amp switch, realizing that knife switches were becoming
outmoded,
and breakers have very limited interrupting capabilities.
-
The original 400 amp
switch
performed well in tests and led us right into 600, 800 and 1200 amp and
the 30 through 200 amp sizes.
-
Our small switches out
performed
any switch on the market. We provided the industries first UL
listed
switch marked as to it's suitability for use on circuits having
available
fault currents.
-
Our proven principals
were then
applied to larger ampacity switches. We were the first with
Quick-Make,
Quick-Break operators on all sizes of switches through 4000 amperes.
-
Our large switches
were the
first to pass the UL tests at 600 volts.
-
We were the first with
a Shunt-Trip
operator.
-
We have invested an
extraordinary
amount of time, money and thought in our design and test programs, and
the switches we produce are unique, in the true sense of the word.
-
Though our interest in
safety
may at times exceed our interest in sales we have been able to grow
with
a feeling of satisfaction.
