Automatic isolation switch for power transfer with emergency isolation control

A power transfer device comprising:

• a first multiple pole switch comprising:
• at least two pairs of opposing terminals;
• and
• a switch mechanism movable in a first direction to produce an electrical connection between the terminals of each pair;
• a second multiple pole switch comprising:
• at least two pairs of opposing terminals;
• and
• a switch mechanism movable in a second direction substantially opposite the first direction to produce an electrical connection between the terminals of each pair;
• and
• an extension at the switch mechanisms that moves the switch mechanisms in the same direction to open circuits of the first switch, while the circuits of the second switch remain open, followed by closing the circuits of the second switch while the first switch circuit remains open, with a period of time during extension movement that all of the electrical connections are open;
• electrical connections to each switch including a hot line and a ground line;
• and
• an electro-mechanical mechanism to enable movement of the extensions.
