All blades are of double-member hard-drawn copper construction. Silver-to-silver contacts are utilized at all current-transfer points. Stainless-steel or beryllium-copper loading springs behind the contact areas of the blades keep the contacts under constant pressure, and provide smooth, positive wiping action during opening and closing.

Regulator Bypass Switches are available with a choice of Cypoxy® or porcelain station post insulators.
