Subject - Main Switch Replacement in older MDP
MacMark9 Not sure this is the right place to look, but......

One of our buildings needs a new main switch and we're having trouble finding out who & where parts for the origional switch could be found, or a replacement switch that will fit in the same space. Maybe, even having a custom switch built.

Below is the tag plate info.

"KAM-LOK SWITCH"  "(with Pressure Contacts)"
Manufactured by:  "The KELEK Company,  Kirkwood,
Mass."
"cat.no.  3KF5 20ED6"
"AMPS   2000"
"VOLTS   480"
"POLES    3"
"Serial No. 324ED6"

Believed to manufactured around 1973,  installed in a
ARROW-HART MDP.

A direct replacement or custom replacement is our
goal,  'as soon as possible'.   

I don't expect good news -- so far,  no one can recall
a company name or device name like above.

Thank you for any info/links/experiences. Mark.
lctrc789 Mark, not sure of this but I think ARROW-HART was bought out by Cooper wiring division, may want to check to see if they can lead you in the right direction for main. If not you may be stuck installing a whole new one.Good luck and let me know how you come out.
