Amsterdam Electrical Device
Amsterdam Electrical Device
(OP)
Can one of you more international gents let me know what this device is? I think it is a generator transfer switch.
A USA associate is looking at properties and needs some advice as to electrical infrastructure.
Thanks,
HDP

I knew your translation would be far superior to Google. Google gave me "emergency generator"!
Best to you,

Interpreting the literal 'head breaker', I suspect the translation would be 'main switch'.

Can you provide a better photo of the red nameplate?
No problem with main switch identification, but it may be part of a transfer switch, possibly a service main incorporated as part of a transfer switch.
If there is a generator there must be a transfer switch somewhere.

It also says "Eventueel uitschakelen" which, funny enough, means "Switch off potential" and then "met noodstop op aggregaat" which, of course, means "with emergency stop on generator"
So, you were right about the emergency generator. But that text wasn't possible to read from the first picture.
