Abstract
A system and method for an automatic transfer switch comprising a fixed contact, a first oscillating rod communicatively and operatively connected to a first movable contact, a second oscillating rod communicatively and operatively connected to a second movable contact, a link rod communicatively and operable connected to the first and second oscillating rods, and a guide plate. The automatic transfer switch is operable to position the guide plate based at least on a state of a solenoid. A permanent magnetic actuator communicatively and operatively connected to the link rod via a third oscillating rod is operable to rotate the first oscillating rod or the second oscillating rod based at least on the position of the guide plate.
