Ray: With the non-detent you appear to have acquired a manual, UPS-grade transfer switch.

They appear to be UL listed, but the quality is non UL, import level. The handle is loose, and there is almost no middle detent to hold it in the off position. It just glides from "on" at the top through "off" in the middle, to "on" at the bottom, without catching. It is supposedly service entrance rated, which it needs to be, but it is nothing like T switches I've worked with before. Some of those seemed over kill, and needed 30lbs or more of force to over come the springs that hold it in each position. Did I get a counterfeit, or is this just how this switch works? I purposely avoided the Vevor, and other Chinese brands because they were not UL listed. There are some really crappy electrical products being sold into the US market right now. The Eaton brand was 4 times the price of the Vevor, but I don't think it's any better, that's why I'm suspecting its counterfeit. I know from the music industry, that we are being flooded with counterfeit equipment in that industry.
