I am having a devil of a time finding a DPDT 30 Amp manual transfer switch in Canada. I know they are out there, but I surely can't find them. Any suggestions?
My theory is, I am welding along with my welder plugged into Hydro, and poof the hydro goes out as is well known to happen up here for no particular reason. does that mean I have to stop my project? NOT! Just fire up my genny, throw the transfer switch from the mains to the genny and continue welding.

I looked up Hydro to confirm that it's what I call grid power. The Wikipedia article gave eleven different names used for it in the US.:D

Fairly common item, call an electrical supply house that contractors would use.
Easton Cutler Hammer, GE, Square D, etc.. all make them.
Here's a link to C-H, click on "documentation" tab for catalog Eaton

I got one. Dixon Electric in North Bay has an Eaton. It will be here at the end of the week. All is good, again.
