The Schneider Electric WNTS40/4AV is a four‑pole manual changeover switch designed for low‑voltage power distribution and control applications. It enables safe manual selection between two supply sources or circuits for operation, isolation, or maintenance purposes. The switch is rated for 40 A continuous current and is suitable for switching resistive and moderately inductive loads typical in AC distribution networks.
